This movie is part of my childhood. My older brother was obsessed - to say the least - with this movie, and we used to watch it every week or so. I must have seen it about a hundred times. Pelé, Ardiles, Bob Moore... No football fan can miss this movie. Is it any good? I don't think it's very good, but this is one of those movies that really made part of my life and i can never forget it. Until today - i haven't seen the movie in several years - i can recall many of the dialogs, and a lot of the situations of the game. Brazil was eliminated in 1982's world cup after an epic game against Italy - one of the most profound traumas in Brazilian football history, an event that made Brazil to change it's game style - the art football - to a more pragmatic and tactical style. Somehow this movie reminds me of that golden period of Brazilian football.

In one hand it gives some answers, but in the other it leaves to much dark areas. Where did that "mother" come from? What was MIB doing with that wheel, how does it work or how did they come up with that idea in the first place, since we are talking about some ancient, low tech people? And the fact that there was no parallel story was also disappointing. The scene from a previous season, with Jack, Kate and Locke was completely confusing and out of place.
But the worst thing was this fairy tale feeling, with that illuminated cave that, in my opinion, was ridiculous. Lost has ever had a supernatural aspect, but this time it felt something from a series like "Legend of the seeker" or "Merlin", and not something that matches the mythology of Lost.
Well let's hope the last episodes will be better than that.
