When the Game Stands Tall
I have chosen a movie that I have watched recently with fellow peers and teammates from Donovan Catholic High School. The title of this spectacular movie is “When the Game Stands Tall.” The significance of the title designates to the great coaching staff which reached into the hearts of the football players, not only making them outstanding, but making them grow into true men with heart, dedication, and compassion. Based on an extraordinary true story, this movie is about lessons and depicts some such as hard work pays off, play with pride, it is not about the streak but about the team, and it does not matter whether your stronger or faster, it matters if you play with heart! This movie is about De La Salle High School having the greatest winning streak in all of football history. With 151 wins and counting this team did not worry about anything but to continue the streak or be on the “Streak Team,” later on learning of what it actually took to carry on that special streak. This movie takes place in California, “The Golden State.” The setting is important because some of the best football teams reside in this state giving importance the entire movie. There is a book to this spectacular movie in which I have not read but plan to.
When the Game Stands Tall is about a legendary football coach, Bob Ladouceur, who takes the De La Salle football program from the bottom of the chain to a team with 151 winning game streak. Though the rising senior p layers do not know what it takes to continue a 151 winning streak and that their season will be tougher than ever. This relevant plot summary maintains interest to me because it gives me a valid description of the movie while still keeping a great deal of suspense to know and see what happens next. Out of the entire movie I would recall that near the ending of the movie there was an extremely memorable
