		Richard's role as a French Canadian icon was epitomized in the short story Le chandail de hockey ("The Hockey Sweater") by Roch Carrier.
		Although Richard was often perceived as a pre-Quiet Revolution hero excelling in an anglophone world, he insisted throughout his life that he was an apolitical character playing hockey for the love of the sport.

		The film could have been iconography, since Rocket Richard was the Babe Ruth and Joe Louis of the French-Canadians (and the fight with Dill was the Schmelling fight).
		Since Richard was so driven and efficient, the entire dramatic tension then evolves into his domestic conflict, where he agonized about being a young father putting himself at risk.
		Rocket Richard was a phenomenon, not just an athlete, and this film helps us to understand why, with some great acting, and much entertaining and emotionally draining material.

	Home Theater & Sound -- Movie Review -- The Rocket -- ****
		Richard played for the Montreal Canadians from 1942 through 1960, set the famous scoring record of 50 goals in 50 games, and was the first hockey player to ever score 500 goals.
		Binamé effectively engages us quickly in the story of the "Rocket" by opening with newsreel footage of Montreal’s infamous St. Catherine Street riots of 1955, which were sparked by the announcement of the suspension of "Rocket" Richard for clubbing a Boston player with his hockey stick, then punching out a referee.
		The Rocket is no candy-coated tale of Richard’s feats of scoring, but a raw portrayal of him, and his experiences as a Francophone working in an Anglophone organization at a time when many French-speaking Canadians believed that big business was run by the English, and that they discriminated against the French.

		The Rocket I discovered was a working class guy, a father of seven children who still toiled hard to put bread on the table, still living in the same modest bungalow near Montreal's back river.

		What really drove Richard crazy was that the referees wouldn't call many of the hacks and slashes from his checkers and the league would often mete out harsher fines to him than the marginal players sent out to put him off his game.
		Richard had a two-point lead over teammate Jean Beliveau in the NHL scoring race and was in position for his first Art Ross Trophy with three games left in the season.
		Richard was injured for most of his last three seasons and, overweight and no longer able to accelerate on skates as he once did, was convinced to retire in 1960.

		The story takes Richard from his teenage years, when he worked as a machinist and played hockey on the side, to the fabled 1955 riot where fans tore apart downtown Montreal out of anger over his suspension from the Canadiens for an on-ice punchout in Boston.
		Roy Dupuis, seen recently in the acclaimed Manners of Dying, takes his third spin around the ice as Richard, previously portraying him in a Heritage Minute vignette and in a TV miniseries which grabbed headlines because it was partly funded by money from the notorious federal sponsorship program.
