Calum Von Moger: Unbroken

Calum is a very charming person and his struggles with injury leave you caring, because be comes across as a genuinely nice, caring person himself. This is what makes you keep watching.

As a documentary itself, it's basically empty. You can put the story down to about two things happening. There is nothing revealing. They don't go deep on Calum, who is an interesting person. Why did he want to build muscles at 13? What deep-seeded human need drove that desire within him? Why does he care so much for animals? What scares him?

Usually a documentary filmmaker would hope to reveal something deeper about their subject. This one got lucky that Calum is such a brilliant person. Otherwise this would be a total blowout.

Hes my idol even tho he suffers alot from accidence ive been watching him with my dad on the body building on netflix. i saw hes a nice, genorous man i just want himto know thatbhes being supported by me!

This documentary is definitely a bi-polar watch.

On the one hand you have the animal loving Calum who's built like a Greek god going through an absolutely rough period of his life. I recently have had my own things going on in life which has caused me to drop in mass significantly, so I can relate psychologically with how it feels.

On the other you have the guy who is very genetically gifted, does things like eat take out and not count his calories (as shown in a different documentary) and is reckless with his activities. He drives a motorcycle despite his father being confined to a wheelchair from a motorcycle accident, injures himself pulling a very unsafe stunt and then during the healing process manages to go re-injure himself during something similarity dangerous. At this point it is a little hard to feel too sorry for him. The definition of insanity has been popularly said to repeat the same action over and over while expecting different results.

I am not a "hater" by all accounts- I feel this documentary confirms the question asked in a previous Generation Iron documentary about his reckless behavior in a telling way. I do however think he is a genuinely good person and wish him all the best. If I had a piece of advice- learn from past mistakes.

Calum is one of the most humble and nicest guys, not only in the industry but just in general. What a great look into his life and seeing how he has dealt with probably one of the most difficult times he has faced. Very motivating. Definitely not something I will only watch once. Generation Iron yet again slays in the documentary movie making.

It's called unbroken, but he's reaptedly injured, kind of ironic.

Before I give my two cent, Calum comes across as a lovely, genuine guy and very likeable!

But, as documentary there is little substance. No hard or interesting questions asked, no mention of steroids or anything, it's all very pedestrian.

Compare that to other athlete's documentaries, like Mark Kerr Smashing Machine, you see the nitty gritty.
