Factual error: During the Mike Webster autopsy, Dr Omalu asks Gracie for Mike's CT Scan of the brain again, but what she holds up is a MRI film, not CT. Then after interpreting the displayed MRI Dr. Omalu tells Gracie that this brain should be a mess, but it looks completely normal. Whereas the MRI shown by Gracie reveals several abnormalities like brain atrophy and degeneration due to complications of previous disease process. (00:27:45 - 00:28:30)
Concussion (2015)
Directed by: Peter Landesman
Starring: Alec Baldwin, Will Smith, Albert Brooks, Stephen Moyer, Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Factual error: When Dr. Omalu is talking with Mrs. Waters, we are briefly given a shot of her entertainment console. Next to Dr. Omalu's head you can see a Blu-Ray disc player. Since most of this film takes place in late 2002, this is impossible because the modern Blu-Ray format wasn't even released until mid 2006. (01:09:35)
Factual error: We are briefly given a shot of Heinz Field, panning out to the Pittsburgh skyline. Next to the Heinz Field stadium screen, an "American Airlines" advertisement is shown. This advertisement uses the new American Airlines logo which was not adopted until early 2013. (00:37:35)
Dr. Bennet Omalu: Cyril, I can not go back to Nigeria. Everything that I am is here. My child has got to be born in America.
Dr. Cyril Wecht: Don't worry, I'll get you a job. Hey, you can work with me in the prison laundry.
Dr. Bennet Omalu: By my calculations, Mike Webster has sustained more than 70,000 blows to his head.
Prema Mutiso: When you have truth, the thing you are told you cannot do is the thing you must do. Embrace that.
Question: What is the turning point for the reception to Dr. Omalu's research? (02:34:04)
Question: Why did Bennett smash the wall of his old house?
