On a recent flight I enjoyed watching the movie Pele: Birth of a Legend. It does many things well: pays tribute to the greatest footballer of all time, chronicles his life as a child in poverty, shows the role of Ginga (a unique creative style of play) in Brazilian history and identity, highlights issues of racism and social class, shows the value and influence of families, illustrates the passion of football, ...
It is a beautiful game!
I think some of the negative reviews are too harsh. Albeit, my view of movies is certainly coloured if I watch them on a long flight, when I am somewhat bored and half brain dead.
