We've just watched the movie Goal! and its sequel Goal 2: Living the Dream. I am not into sports movie like this but I fell in love with this one. For me the story line is superb. I like the way the writer conveyed his thoughts about having dreams and you, grabbing the "steering wheel", taking control of your destiny.
It sums up life as it is. Why? The story is about how complicated life can be. It is full of ups and downs and yet you can still push sideways, front ways ... on any other ways. The important thing is your attitude towards a certain situation, how you handle your everyday struggle. And not just circumstances but also with people, because there are people out there who will always bring you down no matter how hard you try. But then again, there are great friendships formed in an unexpected dimension.
It also showed what matters in life once you are already on the top of your game. Once you have everything, you can be blinded with success that sometimes you forget what really matters. Is it money? properties? cars? fame? or your relationship to other people especially to those you love?
I like the casting. The actors are not A-lists but as if they were born to fill those roles. Bunch of beautiful people were included like David Beckham (Goal 2), so it was really fun watching! :D
You should watch it, just in case you haven't. There are movies which are just worth watching in the cinema or even wait for it on HBO or Star Movies or whatever movie cable channel you're subscribed to ... but for me, this movie is worth adding in your DVD or Blu-Ray collection because you will never get tired of watching it over and over again.
And it looks like the fun is not over yet ... I think there is Goal 3! :D
