Perfect Blend of Sports Entertainment and Morality Epic

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2018)

Wow.
What an interesting film. It's both a sports flick and a morality play...and it fits both those categories quite perfectly. It's elevated by the use of ambiguity and metaphor into a story that truly transcends and speaks to the soul. We root for the lost sparks of glory that is ever present and yet beyond the reach of a fallen man. And we question what our first life is really worth - what we can find meaning and glory in. And all this is set in the completely entertaining sports genre.
Honestly some of the best use of slow-motion I've ever seen.
And a great musical score by Randy Newman.
This should be a classic. It's deep. It's dynamite.
