Peaceful and inspiring

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2010)

Nothing all too intense going on here and that's nice for a change. To my understanding, the story is not exactly historically accurate, but fortunately not because Clint Eastwood felt the need to artificially generate personal conflict and tension, a moving back story just so we can worry, if Johnnys foot will heal in time before the big game. Instead he lets the central message dominate above the little problems of separate characters, pretty irrelevant they would be compared to a whole country in fear.
So just let the positive vibes in. It's a nice, peaceful story with a very inspiring feeling.
