Das Wunder von Bern (2003)
The goods don't make up for the bads
This movie is a very interesting case. The goods in this movie are amazing and some of my favorite scenes. However, the bads make me want to quit the movie. There was so much wasted time just for filler. The whole storyline with the couple was just a waste of time and did not add to the story at all. The ending football scene was disappointing. I did not feel suspense or excited for the outcome. It was obvious who would win and that is the case with most sports movies however they handled the rest horribly. A good sports movie will still make you question the outcome whether it's true or not. This did not. Not in the slightest. The father was a disappointing character. I feel like he was a necessary addition, however, they handled him poorly. Towards the end of the movie, I really enjoyed his character but at the beginning, he was very sloppily placed. I think for the time of this movie, they did ok. Not the best but understanding the time of production and how certain ideas were viewed helps me forgive the way they handled the father. I could go on about the bads, however the goods are there to. I enjoyed the boss and the kid's relationship, however it crumbled at the end. I enjoyed the story with Bruno however, that also crumbled at the end. The end sucks. I'm sorry, just because you make it emotional, does not mean it is a good ending. But that's just my thoughts... Have a great time... Don't watch this movie if you don't like sports though... it is a bit boring...
