Don't know if I'm allowed to write about movies. Anyway, here's my writing assignment that's due by 8:00PM Sunday 11/7/2010.

I recently watched a documentary called Bigger Faster Stronger. The film, made by Christopher Bell, was about the use of anabolic steroids by himself, his brothers, and American society. Featured in the film is commentary by congressmen, celebrities, athletes, and medical professionals. While on first glance the film may seem about the use of steroids, it has a far deeper meaning.

Some themes expressed in the film is how Americans will do anything for success and our lack of moral integrity. Our lack of moral integrity is shown in the film by how we view cheating in today's society. The narrator shows this through how we demonize the use of steroids in sports, yet find it okay that we them use cortisol shots or for musicians to use beta blockers or cyclists to sleep in altitude chambers. The way Americans will do anything for success is also show in the film. The film shows how many people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and many other celebrities were successful because of steroids.
