See more Kyle M May 13 A humbling picture compositing stories to become its own respectfully giving this phenomenon wider recognition to those who favor a supposedly uplifting sports story. It actually ditches the formulaic tendency of predictability, despite the element getting forgone amid captivation, and focuses on the meaningful, humane impact between unsung skills and demonstrates how the physically strategic outlet not only inspires but also unites, alongside the sense of hope. It may not score as high, even when such is irrelevant, it’s a feel-good film that minimally cheers. (B) See more astrid n @astimouse May 10 What's not to like? Oh, well it is missing drugs, sex and rock n' roll. Otherwise it has it all.

Starring actors like Bill Nighy and Michael Ward, The Beautiful Game is inspired by the real Homeless World Cup, played annually. One of the main ideas for creating this film was to bring awareness to people about the hard work people put in to organise events like this. Plot Summary and Film Effects The film is about an ex-football player who couldn’t fulfil his dreams called Vinny. Vinny is a homeless man that lives in his car. One day, he walks by a team’s football training and starts to play very well after stealing the ball. Mal, who is the coach of the English homeless World Cup team notices him and invites him to play with his team in Rome. At first Vinny refuses to go after seeing how bad the others are. But in the end, after thinking it through he decides to go. The first few days of the tournament he is not having a nice time and starts to get flashbacks of his younger self playing. These flashbacks create an intense and suspenseful effect by flipping between past and present. One of the clear cinematic aspects that you can see is the high key lighting and eye level focus on the actors. This makes it look and feel very realistic and reminds viewers that this is inspired by the real homeless World Cup. This is balanced with the quick shots of the football game time. Throughout the tournament, Vinny goes on a rollercoaster of emotions, struggling to interact with his teammates and find his spot in the team. Conclusion The Beautiful Game is a great family movie. It’s a heart-warming story about second chances and unknown heroes. It reminds us of the power of perseverance and teamwork. Plus, it has some amazing goals in it!

Unfortunately, in real life the NHS wait time for mental health help is very long. The actual story is fascinating and the acting done by the managers of each team is immaculate and emotional. Just because someone looks put together on the outside, does not mean they are on the inside and we all need a helping hand. I love football and this is a story of how sport and a team can help people become more than themselves. Wonderful, watch it! See more Read all reviews
