The Armstrong Lie (2013)
A story in the history of cycling
4 March 2014 - 0 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
Cheating to achieve victory in a sport becomes if not completely irrelevant, at least secondary. If the path we choose to achieve that goal is vicious and tends to hurt other people, that is what becomes real.
As we can understand from this documentary and Armstrong's words and actions, if a lie is told enough times, during enough time, with the strong conviction that it will persuade the others, it will eventually persuade ourselves. It will become true. We will be in denial.
This is an enjoyable film both visually (because it has cycling footage) and intellectually (because it kept me wondering about the necessity of its existence).
