It's tough to find a movie that describes the rural USA better than this

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2019)

It's a heartbreak movie. It's difficult to imagine a biotope where a sport is felt, touched, breathed, metaphorized, ate, drank, so basically lived, every second. Oh well, there is such place, and that is rural USA with a good football team. You learn what desperation is, at every level, felt by a bunch of characters at various times. We imagine that life is something where we learn, than marry, eventually, have a family, life is something that can have a variety of shapes, colours, novel aspects everyday. Oh well, for the characters in this movie, all of them, life has absolutely a single aspect: football, and win or die. Coach, where this a day by day life, players, where this is the life between 17 and 18 (and in 90% cases the entire life, which, therefore, has only ... 1 year), and the other living beings in that city, for which the end of the season = the end of the year. It's so sad that tears is the lightest of the challenges you'll have watching it. Have fun!!!
