I felt it was a little too short- wanted to see more and find out what happened with these kids in the future. All of them acted out in some ways but didn't go all out standing up to their parents. You could see that bubbling rage that's going to explode in the future word to Todd Marinovich (who's in a discussion that plays afterwards).
Seemed like the basketball kid had almost checked out already, like he was about ready to quit ball and ignore his dad as soon as he got that scholarship. Felt real bad for Justus, the football kid because his dad was so relentless. He was aware of all he was putting on his son but felt like it was the right thing to do for some reason.
His dad was obsessed with the idea of making him tough by just s****ing on him all the time, but it was pretty obvious that was making him weaker. Even when playing football in the clips they showed he look mad tentative and indecisive, maybe because he was afraid of making mistakes.
That tennis mom was hilarious
Yeah he was one of the worst, it seemed like he finally let go at the end hopefully and let him and his son be happyThat football dad was the one making his son soft and timid, with no confidence and he aint even know it
And you could tell by the end that one father and son was just basically fed up about fighting each other over basketball
I've only caught glimpes of the original cut but it seems like the extra footage is throughout the film from start to finish
