Facing the Giants
65Worth an evening.
The practice is the true part. The championship is the film comforting itself.

The review
The best scene is not the title. It is a blindfolded practice where a boy is asked to give everything he has without knowing how far he has gone. That is a true picture of faithfulness. The film then cannot bear to leave the team on a loss, so the providence arrives as a championship. Life sometimes does that. Films that always do it are teaching a smaller God than they think.
A family can watch it, especially a boy in a sport. Say the true line out loud: you can do everything asked of you and still lose, and the doing was not wasted. Do not let the last game unsay that.

The glance
Republic is the thin one.
Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Pride of the Yankees
71 instead of 65
The Pride of the Yankees is still a sport film, and it scores 71 instead of 65. What you gain is truth: The illness is not hidden, and the goodbye does not fake a return.
The eight
- 7Industry
Coaching as preparation and a standard. The losing streak is not romantic.
- 7Household
A marriage that has wanted a child. The team is not allowed to replace the house.
- 8Piety
He turns the job into an obedience. The prayers are specific.
- 6Courage
Staying in a job everyone has declared over.
- 5Republic
A school, a team, fathers in the stands. A small public.
- 8Temperance
He asks the boys to give a full effort with no promise about the score.
- 5Truth
The spiritual lesson is true and then the scoreboard blesses it too neatly.
- 6Stewardship
What he wants to hand them is a way to lose and still be faithful. The trophy muddies that.
