The movie Miracle is more than a story about a hockey team. It’s about a Nation pulling together to do the impossible, beat the Soviets. The USA team wasn’t put together with the best players in the nation, Herb picked the players that played with each other and smart. The USA team had to overcome the odds and beat a hockey power house the Soviets. Also the cold war was going on and that had a lot of tension between the Americans and the Soviets. The movie shows the struggles of making the USA Olympic team and how hard it is on someone on and off the ice. Kurt Russel does a fabulous job of playing Herb Brooks. He shows how he inspired the USA hockey team and gave not just the team but the whole nation hope. There is no one better than Kurt that could have played Herb. Herb was determined smart and strong willed. He didn’t settle for anything less than gold, he was smart and knows how to play the game. According to Joshua Tyler on Cinemablend.com the movie might be a little hard to understand if you don’t get hockey but the will of Herb will intrigue you and make you want to watch it. I kind of agree with this, the movie is fast pace but it very intriguing. It makes you want to go out and accomplish whatever you want to do. This movie is worth your money because it is about a Nation coming together and beating the odds. It will give you hope and that if you set your mind to something anything can happen.
