Movie Review: More Than A Game

"More Than A Game" is a documentary which features an NBA superstar and shows how he rose to fame, while playing with his childhood friends. But it isn't like any old documentary that you would find on ESPN, it tells a deeper story that people of all different ages can relate to. It is a story of friendship, dedication, hard work, and above all, teamwork.
The story of Lebron James and his teammates -- Dru Joyce, Romeo Travis, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee -- is one that mimics the "American Dream." Five young men from lower class backgrounds, growing up in Akron, Ohio, all being connected by their love of basketball. They join a local team together and must overcome numerous obstacles, both as a team and as individuals, whether it was dealing with internal problems, or problems at home. At times, the young men are brought down to the bottom, but had to find it within themselves to show courage to get back up and keep fighting and to accomplish greatness in the game of round ball, and leading their team to win many high school championships in the process.
The boys weren't alone on their journey. They had their coach, Dru Joyce Sr., to guide them along the way, and mentor them as a father figure as well. A pivotal point in the documentary comes when Coach Dru realizes how his dreams connect with those of his son and the team. When times get rough, Coach Dru becomes the glue that keeps the team together, making them even more united, and more family like.
The documentary is very successful at showing growth within the members of the team. As the film progresses, we get to feel how each member of the team overcomes their struggles and triumphs, becoming stronger in the process. Another strength of the film is its ability to portray the team as more than a just a highschool basketball squad, but as family. By the end of the documentary, you get a feel that the young men have a brother-like relationships beyond their friendships.

This documentary is recommended for not only people who enjoy basketball, but for those you want to be moved and inspired by a story that sends the message that no matter what the obstacle is that you face, you can overcome and be successful.

Tom Ford movie “A Single Man” at Venice film fest
Tom Ford, the former star designer at Gucci, makes his directorial debut at the Venice Film Festival, with A Single Man an intimate movie about coping with loss and grief.
Ford said that it is “the most personal thing” he has ever done.
The first trailer for the movie features a cameo by Ford’s favorite ad model, Jon Kortajarena, as hustler Carlos.
The movie, set in Los Angeles in the 1960s, is an intimate story about coping with loss and grief based on a book by Christopher Isherwood.
“A Single Man” stars Colin Firth as a college professor coming to grips with solitude after his partner of 16 years dies. Also starring are Matthew Goode, playing the professor’s partner, and Julianne Moore as a friend.
“People who don’t know me well will be very surprised by the film. It shows a different side of me.” Ford said
“The process seems really natural to me, and I’d ideally like to make a film every three to four years.”
But he wants to keep his two careers separate: “I didn’t want to be perceived as some fashion designer who’s come to Venice and decided to make a film. I wanted to avoid anything to do with fashion, and I wanted the film to speak for itself.”

A Single Man has captured the Queer Golden Lion for gay-themed movies screening at the Venice Film Festival.
