Will Smith, the famous actor and producer, hopes that his latest film, "Concussion," will deliver a powerful message to its audiences. Smith aims to provide viewers with a sense of reality regarding the issue of concussions in football.

In "Concussion," Smith takes on the character of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a pathologist who discovers a brain disorder known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in deceased football players. The film sheds light on the serious health risks associated with repeated hits to the head and tackles the controversial topic of the National Football League's (NFL) handling of this issue.

Smith believes that "Concussion" will create awareness and make people question their own perception of reality. His desire is for the movie to spark conversation and bring about change in the way concussions are understood and treated in football and other contact sports. He aims to highlight the importance of protecting players, both amateur and professional, from the long-term effects of head injuries.

The actor acknowledges that the NFL plays a significant role in American culture, and his intention with "Concussion" is not to bash the sport, but rather to initiate a discussion about player safety.
