Cobb (1994)

In the twilight of his life, the unapologetically fierce and widely loathed Ty Cobb, hailed as the greatest baseball player of all time, appoints renowned sports journalist Al Stump to weave his authorized life story into an 'autobiography'. Cobb seeks to dispel the thick cloud of public animosity, to finally have his voice heard, his truth acknowledged. As Stump plunges into the turbulent world of Cobb, diligently shadowing and interviewing him, he uncovers a man whose soul is draped in darkness, a character as rough and jagged as a weathered cliff. Cobb's relentless anger, vehement racism, blatant misogyny, and ruthless abuse towards all in his path strike Stump with a chilling realization – the public's scorn for Cobb isn't entirely misplaced. A moral dilemma ensues, forcing Stump to tread a razor-thin line between honouring the truth and yielding to Cobb's demands for a glorifying tribute. In an audacious attempt to satisfy both ends, Stump crafts two distinct narratives. One, a glossy portrayal of Cobb's baseball prowess for the man himself; the other, an unflinching exploration of his grim childhood and dark personality for the discerning public eye. This singularly remarkable tale unfolds as Stump navigates the tumultuous journey of penning down the life of a man as complex and intriguing as Ty Cobb.

Cobb is a drama movie featuring Tommy Lee Jones.
