The new movie Miracle is already getting slammed by a good bit of negative press for it's depiction of the Soviet Union. There are a lot of people out there who think this movie is nothing more than a cheap exercise in giving the U.S. a healthy pat on the back. These are the kind of people who need to take a damn pill. I don't remember this much hoopla surrounding Rocky IV when it was released back in 1985 and that movie was fictional. Miracle is based upon actual historical fact and is, at it's heart, a classic underdog story in every sense of the word.
