Undefeated is a brilliant documentary about an inner city football team. If you're a sports fan, this a must-see. Not a sports fan, you say? My wife could care less about sports and she'll tell you, this is a helluva movie.
In the tradition of great sports movies, it's not really about sports. It's about the people. It's about the relationships.
I'm not gonna lie, this movie choked me up multiple times, and one scene in particular almost had me sobbing. I tweeted something about the movie back when I watched it for the first time, and one of the guys in the movie retweeted my comment. That was pretty cool.
I really can't recommend this movie enough.
I don't like sports, but I like movies about sports. It is as you say... it is always less about the sports and more about the human spirit.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, I loved the TV show Friday Night Lights... but I don't watch football...
This one looks good. I will keep an eye out for it!
Okay, i'll get the kids to look this one up. It looks like the kind best watched together.
