i am a psycho boxing fan & regardless of the insanity, mike tyson has always been one of my all time favorites. he was ferocious, fast as lightning & as far as i was concerned- always misunderstood. i cannot subscribe to alot of the things he did or the way he lived his life, but i truly believe that he was a victim of his circumstances and was completely lost & alone after cus d'amato died.
directed by james tobak (who wrote Bugsy and directed films like Love and Money, The Big Bang, Black and White, and Harvard Man) the tyson documentary premiered last night in ny (last week in LA & at cannes & sundance) & not only was i lucky enough to go, i got to meet the man himself! the entire experience was surreal, but not surprising at all. he is a soft spoken, somewhat humbled gentleman, and now just trying to live his life clean & sober.
if you are any kind of boxing fan, i highly recommend this film- it will be in select theatres- so check your local listings- and catch the trailer below.
