I'll be quick, this is my first time reviewing a movie.
Although I often considered doing it, I never felt as compelled to do it than right now after watching Greater.
The reason is simply that Brandon Bulsworth's story is inspiring and was an amazing material for a great sports movie. However, the last 15 minutes is akin to be in a church during a sermon.
So - I recommend watching this film for the story and camaraderie - but be aware that it's blatant religious propaganda. I would be scared to show this to my children as it would seriously allow them to start thinking that they "are too small to see the bigger picture".
The whole point of the movie is to make a metaphor of life with what happens on a football pitch.
I.e. The players only see so close to them but the coach sees the bigger picture. Human's only narrowly see in front of them but god sees the bigger picture.
I really enjoyed the viewing experience until this ruined it for me.
P.S. If you are religious - go for it - you will love it.
