Testépítés
feketén-fehéren (in English: Bodybuilding in black and white) is a
Hungarian documentary made by the Bódi brothers. It revolves around the life of
professional bodybuilders by following the everyday life of the most successful
sportsmen in Hungary, such as Krisztián Bereczki, Kornél Bohos and Tibor
Füzessy.
The film shows the difficulties of
the competition season. The main characters let us see their diets and training
regime and they talk about their feelings and experiences during that time. We
can witness all steps of their preparation for the competition. We can see how strict
their diet is, how hard and concentrated their training routines are and what
suffering they need to bear in order to achieve the desired physique. The film
reveals the secret of the usage of steroids as well. A specialised doctor, who
is a bodybuilder at the same time, talks about the dangers of using steroids
and growth hormones and their effects on the human body.
This film absolutely impressed me
and I watched it more than once, which is unusual. It shows everything in an
appallingly honest way. We can see how many things these men sacrificed for
their success which I think can make anyone motivated. This film and these men
prove that there is nothing that is impossible, it is our choice to make
efforts in order to change our lives, or not.
It should be seen by everyone who despises
this sport, at least once in a lifetime, and it should be shown to a wider
audience. People could learn a lot from this documentary, for example, the
importance of will-power, humility and resignation. As I have mentioned, the
film could serve as a great motivation for those who had the thought of giving
up in their head.
