Review of Hoosiers (1986) by Ryan P — 04 Dec 2015

Despite the predictability of the film, it's an excellent production. It will have you captivated from the opening tip and all the way until the final buzzer sounds. It puts together the perfect story for what people consider to be "The Dream", as it shows the great comeback put together by this team. The movie Hoosiers is a classic example of achieving and living the dream. It covers all aspects of obtaining glory in the realm of sports, from the players, to the coaches, and to the small town fans encouraging them on.

In all sports, we see what transpired in this film in order to reach that dream. Players and coaches had to move egos aside to keep the dream alive. That is how you create the winning formula, which is exactly what the Hoosiers did. Their success exploded as they turned their season around, winning game after game. Coach Dale finally starting getting the support he needed, and the Hoosiers started to turn their season around, with the crowning event of the dream; hoisting the trophy in the air. The team did this perfectly by throwing in all the elements of winning "The Dream", knowing that deep inside they had what it took to win.

This is a film that will inspire all the athletes out there, young and old, veteran and rookie, and anyone wanting to live the dream. It's not always an easy road, as Coach Dale's team has shown us. This movie solidifies that anything is possible for anyone to achieve, with hard work and a little luck.

Hoosiers is a must watch for all ages, maybe inspiring the next underdog athlete to live "The Dream".
