I might describe Warrior
as equal parts Rocky and Miracle. In fact, during the final
contest we even hear the sports commentator shout something akin to the famous,
“Do you believe in miracles?” spoken by Al Michaels at the close of the 1980 “Miracle
on Ice” when the USA defeated the Soviet Union in ice hockey in the Lake Placid
Olympics. Miracle, based on that
event, was also directed by Gavin O’Connor, the helmsman of Warrior.
