Favorite Movie: Hoosiers
In my mind, Hoosiers sort of embodies the idea of a great movie. It's an inspiring story about the Hickory High School Huskers basketball team, and the adversity they overcome as a team to reach the top. I think this movie has always been one of my favorites because it does such a great jib highlighting the things one can learn from competition. I think sports get a bad reputation for being too competitive or too serious, but I think this movie shows that we learn a lot about ourselves and those around us when we're pushed to the limit. I get chills every time I watch the end of this movie because it reminds me of all the teams I played for and all the good memories I have of competing. I think this is one of those movies that has something for anyone to take away from it. It's plot may be centered around basketball, but the message it sends transcends all sorts of barriers. I think it's one of the most uplifting movies of all time, and that's probably the biggest reason why it's my favorite.

I agree with you this movie is really good. I think another reason that it is so good is because it's based on a true story, which makes every movie better.
ReplyDeleteI love movies that are based off of true stories, like "Remember the Titans". It makes them even better. I've never seen "Hoosiers" though, but it sounds like it's another classic, so I'll definately have to give it a shot.
