We Are Marshall

We are Marshall is the true story of the 1970 Marshall University football team that died in a plane crash upon their return from an away game. A few players who weren't at the game because they were injured and one coach who was on a recruiting trip survived the fatal day. The school along with the town that surrounds the university must get throught his tragedy and look towards the future of the football team and their own lives.

I really enjoyed this heartfelt movie about life after a tragedy. It took balls to look past it not only for the friends and teammates of the team but for the families also. I don't think i would have been able to do it myself because I don't think I am that strong mentally. The acting was done well especially the leadership of their coach, Matthew McConaughey, who seems to have a way to fix everything that comes up. The movie was a bit cheesy but at the same time i could connect because i like a bit of cheese in my sentimental movies. If i had to rate this movie it would get a strong 7 out of 10. If you like movies that inspire you and if you like sports than i suggest you see We Are Marshall whenever you get a chance.
