We are Marshall


Have you ever heard this title? it's a good movie. Mengingatkan saya jaman2 SMA dulu, maen basket sama anak-anak. Sering kalah... *mengedikkan bahu*

Well, it is about the journay of a football team, more specific, university football team. You know, in States, city usually support their American football team in the league. In West Virginia, there is Marshall University who have the Thundering Herd, their football team. In November 14, 1970, a plane crash with 75 casualties, they are the players, coaches, supporters and city council of the city. Huntington lost their sons, spouses, parents, brothers and friends. They never had a football team aver since, until the university president was being persuaded to reconsider by the please of the Marshall students and Huntington residents. The president then hired Jack Lengyel and some others people as the coach and started to rebuild the team from zero (not, there is a few player from the former team who didn't join the rest of the team).

The fighting to revbuild the team was tremendous. Idea of a-must-winning-team-in-sport was break with a-having-fun-in-playing-sport. Awesome movie.

Four and a half stars, four thumbs up. Asoy...
