''Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself'' is a 2013 American documentary film directed by Tom Bean and Luke Poling 〔http://plimptonmovie.com/cast-and-crew〕 about the writer George Plimpton, who was a co-founder of ''The Paris Review'' and contributor to the participatory journalism genre. ==Synopsis== ''Plimpton!'' tells the story of writer, editor and amateur sportsman, George Plimpton. Starting with his getting kicked out of Exeter, the film follows Plimpton as he joins ''The Paris Review'' as its first editor and the creation of the "Art of Fiction" series. Plimpton also starts writing for ''Sports Illustrated'', undertaking various participatory journalism attempts, including pitching against an all-star major league baseball line-up, including Willie Mays, taking the field as an NFL quarterback with the Detroit Lions and skating with the Boston Bruins as a goalie. All of these adventures were turned into books, including ''Out of My League'', ''Paper Lion'', and ''Open Net''. The film also examines Plimpton's private life, including his wrestling Sirhan Sirhan for control of the gun, moments after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. The movie uses excerpts from interviews and lectures and readings by Plimpton as narration, with interviews with his friends and family to tell his story. It also features never-before-seen photos and video, including Robert F. Kennedy talking about George on the campaign trail, and photos of Plimpton's various participatory attempts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plimpton!
