When The Game Stands Tall
The De La Salle High School football program in Concord, California, had set an incredible 151-game winning record and then the "Streak" ended. This inspired by a true story film focuses on how the coaches, and the players would handle this devastating loss and what they would do next. This powerful and inspirational story is about how these people handle themselves under adversity. The movie has some great football sequences, but this film isn't really about football, winning games, or setting records. The coaching philosophy was not about winning games or being perfect. The legendary coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel) merely wanted to help young boys to grow up and to prepare them to be dependable in the real world. Some parts of the film felt contrived until the actual footage clips played during the credits.
