The Match

I am never speechless. But I really don't have the words. There aren't any You have to watch for yourself, and the actors, still no words. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

During Nazi atrocity era, a football match is proposed between Hungary prisoners and Team Hitler on the occasion of Hitler's birthday ; the prisoners are winning by virtue of their skills ; during half time they are given an oral assurance that they win freedom if they lose deliberately ; they win and lose their lives. The story is told in the flashback by the last ,13th member of the team, then a boy who manages to hide as per the advice of his captain. The movie seems to be based on historical facts. It is worth watching by all those who believe in a fair game, at least there is no financial corruption as rampant in the sports and many other faculties of present era.

I absolutely loved this move. As I have seen many pre war movies. I already had an assumption in my mind about this movie. But it was different. Sensitive and daring at the same time. Ppl will give their last if they believe in what's it's right. You can't deny anyone talent.

This film is, in my opinion, quite solid. It's not perfect, but the story flows well and the message is most important. The human spirit cannot be defeated. And for all the reviewers who expected star power and high-octane action movie, look elsewhere. This is, after all, drama-indie flick.

Really? We have already seen this with great cast and script and story and acring and direction. I dont know what are all trying to do with remaking (nd failing)not so old classic films.

The story is touching and captivating. It shows hope in the darkest moments, and shows how human spirits can transcend into selflessness for the greater good.

The plot is dull, the football action meek and amateurish. Three stars fully justified by cameos from Viduka, Kova & Lovren. More of a freestyle, pseudo-docu reconstruction that looks cheap and.fails to generate any emotional attachment. Really poor.

I did not begin to watch this movie with high expectations but I have to say it is very respectable. I do not understand some of the "criticisms", if you can even call them that. Sure, the actors in the film aren't famous but that's because it's an indie film, not a Hollywood production. I'd say the actors put in performances decent enough that they don't detract from the film. In terms of the production, perhaps someone would have managed to hide the small budget even better, but I didn't mind how the film was presented. In few insignificant places I did think some directional choices were a bit weird but not nearly enough to make me dislike the film. Because the most important thing works- and that is the story. I wouldn't say it's not comparable to anything else done before but it is a classic that works and is enjoyable. I would happily watch this movie many more times.
