    Rebecca you involve some good contextual information which is really important. You talk about the success and demise of some of the actors. However you do not do the Director the same courtesy. What happened to the Directors career?

    Going forward you ned to always mention the Genre and the themes as we really do not know what happens in this film in that respect.

    Keep on swimming!

It takes us on a journey through his battle of polio and all of the obstacles in his way. Robin Cavendish, who in the film is portrayed through the actor Andrew Garfield, is given no longer than two weeks to live outside of the hospital. This is because in the 1960's they didn't have the best technology, so the doctors didn't think he would be able to survive. However, he proves the doctors wrong.
