Get Ready For The Game Of Your life As A Miracle Is Going To Happen

Well Miracles happens every day it may be that lottery ticket you just brought, or that few dollars you give to charities is a miracle to the children it helps. In 1980 the world was in chaos during that time. I was only 7 years old so I couldn’t remember that long ago but history books tells us about that timeframe.  Miracle tells the true story of one hockey team in the 1980 that inspire the nation and made the greatest moment in sport history on the records books. In 1980 a hockey coach name Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) who almost made it to the Olympic but his coach took him out just before the big game. 

So many years later his biggest chance has come along he is to coach the new team USA so he put together a group of college kids to take on the best hockey team in the world the Soviet Union team who won so many gold medals. For team Usa the pride of a nation yearning for a distraction from world events. With the world watching, the team rose to the occasion. And because of it the broadcaster Al Michaels’s made that famous quote to the millions of leisters it was Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes 

Well I am a big sport fans but god Hats go off to Disney they do a great job of bring true sports films to the big screen like Remember The Titans and now Miracle this hands down is a outstanding film from start to finish and I could see anything wrong with this film last year it was Pirates of the Caribbean with is also a Disney film and now Miracle Pirates was my best film of 2003 and Miracle may be was well lets see at the end of the year. 

Well the story was outstanding and even if you are not a hockey fans like I am you will enjoy this film and get into it. While watching this film the story pulls me into the film and didn’t let me go. The hockey games were outstanding and so intense when watching the screens you will clap at the good screens and grab the arm rest during the screens when the action get so intense. The acting was out standing by all the key actors in the film. Kurt Russell did an outstanding job as the main coach who coaches the best team in the 1980 winter Olympic Games. This is one of his best roles to this date and he should be thought of at next years Oscars time. The supporting cast was outstanding as well. One of the nice touches of the film is the opening credits that go through history of events during that time. And the ending tells more about the real hockey team and what they do for a living.

 Overall if you are looking for a outstanding film that has meaning and also has a feel good feel to it and will get you into the story and not let you forget about it. As well as seeing the re telling of one of the greatest sport moment in the history of the sport. This is the film for you don’t miss this film it is worth every penny of the admission price.
