The Last Game (2002)
THE BEST DOCUMENTARY EVER SHOT
I have seen this film numerous times. It only gets better after each viewing. One could not have written a better script - only this one was unplanned, spontaneous, original and fresh while unfolding right before your eyes. The film is a beautifully shot sports film but also works on so many other levels. It has a story book ending but also covers loyalty, honor, father/son relationships, determination and the 'sport of war' that is high school football in Pennsylvania. One is never bored watching this film as new story lines keep you riveted. The coach is a unique character and provides great insight into the workings of a brilliant general's mind set. The viewer is also shown what it is like to play for such a man - as the student athletes are fresh and 'green' - then whipped into champions. This film is remarkable. Directors T. Patrick Murray and Alex Weinress have produced an instant sports classic for all time - not to be missed!!!
