Behind the scene diving

There were films about skiing, swimming, practicing gymnastics, running, this time it is question of high scale diving competition, and behind the scene dramas that sometmes occur. It shows the psychological, and also physical problems that those athletes have to face to achieve their goals. It is question here of a young woman, in her nearly thirties, for whom it is the last chance for her to hope competing for the Olympics. It is accurate, sensitive, very well shown and explained. It is good to purchase those kind of films from time to time, and not necessarily destined to wide audiences. Maybe it can also be seen as an analysis of the Mexican society, a social drama underneath the simple sport story. Worth watching, definitely. It also evokes the problem of sexual harrassment in the sport teams, between trainers and female young athletes. An issue that you find anywhere, even in France, my homeland.

La Caída

Unfortunately, this Mexican film, as a film, has too much story and not enough depth for me to rate as a 9 or 10. But it is an important story has been repeated so many times in real life. Some of the other reviewers seem to miss this so let me explain, although this film does a much better job at this than I can do. I'm not a diver but I do have many years experience in aquatics and have known many strong female athletes. So I sometimes wonder why does this happen to strong women so often?To be a very good athlete you must train constantly and get very close to your coach, especially if you have the same coach for a long time. It often does not leave enough time to have a real life, boyfriends and girlfriends in particular. The coach confuses the closeness with a sexual closeness, the athlete becomes monomaniacal about winning so perhaps does not know what is happening or brushes it aside.In this film Mariel, now in her late 20's has been with the coach since age 14 or before. The actual affair with the coach is long since over but leaves her needing sexual affection elsewhere. But she has been somewhat successful and is looking at her last chance for Olympic gold so has not wanted to rock the boat. She defends the coach even though she is well aware that the accusations against him are true. Add to this jealousy that the coach has a new 14 year old that he seems much to friendly with. Finding a piece of her underwear in the coach's hotel bathroom is too much to ignore. The only way she make her point is to make a spectacular mistake in the Olympic and commit suicide to be done with it once and for all.
