The 2 films[edit]

From the Death and legacy section - Disney released a film about the 1980 Olympic team in 2004 called Miracle featuring Kurt Russell playing the part of Brooks (Karl Malden had previously played Brooks in a 1981 television film called Miracle on Ice). Brooks served as a consultant during principal photography, which was completed shortly before his death. At the end of the movie there is a dedication to Brooks. It states at the end, "He never saw it. He lived it."
Wouldn't it be better to write about the 1981 film, and afterwards about the 2004 film? I would suggest something like this:
"Karl Malden had played Brooks in a 1981 television film called Miracle on Ice. In 2004, Disney released a film about the 1980 Olympic team..." Thanks 89.1.162.134 (talk) 10:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the sentence is fine the way it is. The main point of the sentence is the Disney movie and so I feel like Karl Malden and the television film is mentioned appropriately in parenthesis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by jkraft21 (talk) 06:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC) I've been adding information to the lead citing verifiable sources. Next I'm going to work on the body of this article as well as add in some needed headings.Jkraft21 (talk) 09:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkraft21 (talk • contribs) 09:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC) I added to and improved part of the Early life section, hopefully you guys think its better.jkraft21 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.161.207.6 (talk) 08:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
