9/30/2018 0 Comments MIRACLE Season (2018) Tears. This is the one word I can use to describe this movie. I became so invested with the story that I didn’t pay attention to the directors creative decisions. Miracle season is based on a true story following West High School girls state championship volleyball team. After a horrible accident, the setter and team captain Caroline “Line” Found passes away in a moped wreck. The remaining players have to band together under the leadership of their coach Kathy Bresnahan in hopes of defending their state championship.
It was not my favorite movie, but as I watched it with a group of friends we all realized the importance of friendship and that you should not take advantage of it because you never know what could happen. I would say this movie redefined our friendship and made us appreciate each other more. As the five of us laid in a bed we all were moved by the story and could not help but pause the movie and take a few minutes to just talk and appreciate each other. A message in the movie was to “Live Like Line” and all of us to that to heart. What that statement stands for is being a great leader, being bubbly and open to new friendships, and enjoy life while we have it. The one choice that Sean McNamara made that I noticed was the same shot over and over again. While the player was serving, he always had the same camera angles and the choreography of the players were extremely dramatic. If it was an important sequence I would understand that he was trying to stress the importance of it, but it wasn't. It was just someone serving the volleyball. To be completely honest, I didn't notice anything else about the film. It was cut and paste the definition of a Classical movie. *Side note: I think it is very interesting that the director Sean McNamara also directed Soul Surfer (2011), Bring it on: fight to the finish (2009), and Raise your Voice (2004). I totally see a similarity in all of these films. I would not say he is a great director. After looking at more of his movies (The suite life movie (2011), Legally Blondes (2009), The Even Stevens Movie (2003), and Bratz: The Movie (2007), he made average movies. They were not terrible, they were just blah. It almost seems like if he is not doing a true life story then he is directing an extension of an already filmed story.
