“Not to be narcissistic, but I truly believe in order to make yourself better, you should see what you did before and what was good about that and what wasn't - same way a football team plays a game and then they go back and watch film.” WayShouldBelievePlayFilmOrderGamesWatchesTeamFootballNarcissisticFootball Team Author:Jake Owen
“There is a broad cultural current that conveys the idea that a film is like a football team, it represents a nation, it is illustrated literature, filmed radio.

“When I was writing the script, I knew didn't want to make a sports movie. I was very clear that I wanted to make a sibling rivalry story. So when I was writing the script, the football was getting in the way of the drama. One day, I saw Michael Haneke's Funny Games, which is probably the most violent film I've ever seen - but the violence is off camera. When I finished watching the film, I said, 'Hey, that's what I have to do.' Haneke gave me this solution.” WayWantWritingSaidStoriesWantedFilmGamesSportsClearSawsViolenceFootballDramaOne DaySolutionsCamerasScriptsFinishedViolentHeySiblingRivalrySibling RivalrySports MovieFunny GameViolent Films Author:Carlos Cuaron
“The only moment football really stops is with a penalty kick - and that is a moment that is really dramatic. A penalty kick becomes a Western duel. It's two guys facing each other. Destiny and potential death, whether metaphorical or literal. That's why in the penalty kick at the end of the film, I shot it like an homage to the Sergio Leone Westerns I saw when I was a kid, especially The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.” TwoEndsMomentsKidsFilmGuyDestinySawsFootballShotsWesternUglyDramaticKicksPenaltiesLiteralHomageMetaphoricalTwo GuysGood The Bad And The UglySergio Leone Author:Carlos Cuaron

“A great deal of it is mental, the ability to learn within the game, to perform at a high level - often with injury - and to weather the ups and downs of an emotional game through a 16-game season.

“I've always been terrified of violence which is probably why I keep making violent films - I'm trying to exorcise some demons or something. My mum ended up bringing me up on the edge of a big estate in south London, so I was on the periphery of violence - a lot of football violence and stuff because I was a Millwall supporter. So I've always had a very healthy fear of it, yet at the same time a fascination. I think in all of my films that's a really strong subtext... people who are terrified by violence but are yet compelled by it as well.” PeopleThinkingTryingFilmStrongViolenceFootballHealthyViolentDemonMumSupporter Author:Nick Love

And then I go back home to Leeds, where I live, and I've got the same friends from before. I still go to the pub. I still go to watch the football, soccer.

“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.” MindChildrenLongHomeCareFilmLeftDifficultNaturalStyleFootballActivityImportanceFilledPatternsHeavyNeighborBeerGamblingHorizonPettyQuarrelsCattleArgentinaFilled Up Author:George Orwell
