David Holmes: Der Junge, der überlebt hat

A very touching documentary that makes you respect stuntmen a whole lot more.

You never think about how many stuntmen actually do all the dangerous stuff you see in screen in this day of cig animations. The amount of skill, training and effort that takes to get this level of fitness and competence.

Imagine being an actor earning millions, and stuntmen that risk their lives to make said actors look cool and earn all those millions of dollars, make such a little cut of all of it. They are very under-appreciated and I wonder what we could do to improve their standards of reward.

Stuntmen are awesome.

A fascinating dive into the tragedy that happened to David Holmes. The documentary is well-produced and packed with interesting information. It's also full of hope and optimism, especially from David.

The story is especially sad when you look at Greg and others on the set. The fact that they carried on, is a feat in itself. What Marc and Tolga have been able to do after the completion of the films is incredibly admirable.

Seeing the support of everyone in the Harry Potter cast, especially those like Tom Felton and the Weasleys, is something to marvel at.

Well worth the watch, even with the 20+ F-bombs.

Possibly one of the most humbling things I've ever watched in my life. As somebody who lives with pain this really is humbling, this gentleman is an inspiration to everyone. I think this should be made compulsory for all kids to watch because it just shows that attitude is everything. David Holmes is an inspiration!

I created an IMDB account just to review this at 10 stars. It was heart breaking and heart warming all at the same time. I am really glad I decided to watch this today as it's worth anyone's time. David's story and attitude are beyond admirable and inspiring. He reminds you of what is important in life and he inspires you to keep things in perspective and be a better person, all through his beaming personality, abundant kindness and acceptance of an actual living nightmare situation and through his continued drive, passion and motivation for life, friends, family and even the activities he loves but can no longer participate in himself. Definitely leaves you sitting in awe and a lot of feelings when the credits roll.

Honestly as a massive Harry Potter fan I never knew about David Holmes. What an amazing human to have such a great look on life with what happened. To do what you love every day being so active then to not be able to walk I can only imagine how hard that must be. Your an inspiration to anyone in your situation. I always wondered why Daniel Radcliffe wanted to distance himself from Harry Potter once the films were over and now I can imagine why it must of been hard with what happened. What a lovely friend to David and to stick by him through all the hard times seeing him like he is now must be so hard.

Such a lovely documentary which I will remember for a long time.
