Friday Night Lights

(I love the Movie Poster!)

Wow I think this might be my favorite sports movie, EVER! I mean after I saw the movie I was just like WHOA! I really really like this movie it’s the kind you would buy twice just for fun!

Its about a high school football team in Odessa Texas. The Permian Panthers are kind of a legend. They have the whole MOJO thing going for them. I remember when our high school played them my freshmen year we had shirts that said Mojo Schmojo.

Well of course there is lots of cool football action in the movie. It made me wish I could still play football. I like how the scenes are cut it works out well. I just wish they showed more of some of the games when they are in the playoffs. The team was undersized and so my team! There were other parallels that really got me into the movie. I mean I was deep in to the movie, almost like it was happening to me!

Besides there being lots of cool football action there lots of off scene drama that is really good. I really got into the sub stories. You get a feel of how important High School football is to that community.

The whole Boobie story line was very sad especially this one scene of him and his uncle in the car. Man I really felt for boobie his whole life was dependent on football his life changed in an instant. Everyone who watches this movie will feel for boobie.

They changed up a lot of thing in the movie from the actual historic facts. The didn’t play Carter in the state final they played them before I think in the Semi-Final. The games wasn’t a shoot out like in the movie it was a low scoring game. Also they left out the a whole issue where carter got its state title revoked because the principle changed a players grades so he could play. They decided to leave that out to avoid controversy I am glad they left that out it wouldn’t contribute to the story.

If you played high school football WATCH THIS MOVIE. I saw this movie after I played my last high school football game and I think it wouldn’t be the same if you were still playing football, but it is great nonetheless.
