Murderball - Screening Notes

The films starts with very overt displays of aggression and assertiveness.
this can be viewed as the typical anger one might expect after becoming disabled
it might also be a way the film makers ditch the stereotype of helplessness
Extreme competitiveness
Idea that disabled peopled need help. "do you need help getting back to your car?"
Rugby and wheelchairs seem to be contradictory
Rowdy house parties with beer, etc goes against the stereotype
Joe seems to be typical dad who wants his son to be involved in sports
Jess classifies Mark Zuppa as a jock despite being in a wheelchair
Jess said, that in part her mothering instinct attracted her to Mark
girls are not threatened by guys in the chair
typical scene with girls asking the quads if they can still get erections
"you can still go out one night meet a girl and get lucky. things you wouldnt think would be possible."
in dreams all limbs work
clueless people make mistakes between para olympics and special olympics. 
"were not competing for a hug"
