We Are Marshall is arguably one of my favorite football
movies with the exception of The Blind Side. I especially like this movie for
the following reasons; how undeniably a horrific event for the victims'
families friends, colleagues as well as for the entire community. But the movie
seems to almost exploit this tragedy so it can make audiences weep, and
ultimately, cheer. But also, that allows We Are Marshall to stand
above many of the other 2006 sports movies is both the undeniable power of the
story itself. The last reason why I love this movie more than other sports
movies that were released in the past is that, there is a lot of genuine
emotion in this movie, and wide-ranging ones at that. There's the shock of
loss, the struggle in moving forward, the fear of failure and the joy of
putting one's passion into a good cause, regardless of the results.
This is also one of my favorite sports movies. Overcoming the loss makes for a very real and emotional film
