David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived

Oh wow what an amazing man he is,strong willed incredible and at first so it seemed invincible then the worst thing in the world happened and my god my heart broke for him,David had no fear and there was no stopping him!,the documentary had me in tears in parts my heart broke for him he had everything and just like that his world fell apart,he is amazing!to go through so much and he still stays strong positive and determined,the friendship they all had was beautiful to see the emotion when they all spoke about David was so hard to watch you just wanted to jump in the tv screen and cuddle him was a very hard watch but he still tries to live his life to the fullest he is amazing I just can't say it enough,if you happen to see these reviews David I have so much admiration for you you are incredible.

It hit me harder than I expected. I don't really get tearfull but bloody hell, tears in my eyes for a good part of this. What a guy David is, plus all his mates are such a nice bunch of lads. As always Dan Radcliffe comes across a really nice bloke. I would recommend this, although it's not necessarily an easy watch, but definitely worth it it, it makes you think about how fragile the human body is and a neck injury is just a terrible thing to happen, and I tell you what, a lot of people wouldn't have coped with it as well as Dave did, so there is a lot to be admired from him. Again like I said it hit me quite hard.

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.

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.

I loved that we got the chance to see a part of the films that we've never seen before, even though it is not a happy part at all. This was a very emotional documentary for me, as I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. It was hard not to share a tear on the entire story. Daniel Radcliff is a great human being and it shows the compassion and empathy he has for everyone. He stayed so humble even after all the fame he got. David Holmes has a great strong spirit, even at a young age he was so inspiring and always had a positive attitude towards everything in his life.

This documentary inspired me so much. I hope these two "boys" have the best life they can have.
