We haven't covered very many soccer movies, but we HAVE been covering a lot of true stories in the last several months, and we cover both bases talking about The Damned United.
Fact versus fiction came up a lot in this episode too as we hashed out what director Tom Hooper is trying to say about legendary coach Brian Clough and Leeds United. The trouble is, Hooper's film is unfocused. We weren't sure what to feel or if we should even care. Should we sympathize with Michael Sheen (who's really great in a surprisingly flinty role as Clough) or should we hate him? Should we be impressed that Hooper chose a 1-on-1 interview between two bitter rivals as his "big game" or feel cheated because the movie has no 3rd act? You might already have those answers, but dribble that play button and find out what we thought about The Damned United.
We have been known to tweet from time to time. We're @moviefiend51 and @scoringatmovies
