This is competitive sports

I remember watching a documentary by DISCOVERY called Ultimate Athlete a long time ago. The film tells the life of the top players in competitive sports and those who are not yet top players. However, after watching ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, the screenwriter did not want this film to be inspirational. Route, at least save those struggles and the like, this is a world without miracles, the team members smashed their heads and bleed, if they didn't learn the lesson, the 4th pointback who didn't listen to the organization's arrangement, passed the sports age. "Legendary" captain, the boss who only knows how to win, the former gold medal coach, welcome to this bloody world.

The last words are very meaningful. A legendary quarterback said, "In the end, you will like the feeling of 11 people working towards a goal."

    The camera cuts are dazzling... There is a coach like Lao Pa in the locker room that works better than any chicken blood... Very cool ending...

    Probably only Pacino can make this kind of American speech look inspirational and not vulgar. Stone's adrenaline editing was a novelty when I first encountered it (I didn't see Natural Born Killers until after watching this one). As for the relationship between Pacino and Fox, it's quite like a Larry Brown and Iverson soap opera. Of course, there may be more similar stories in the NFL.
