Beckham

I have no interest in football and knew little about David or Victoria Beckham before watching this. I found them to be a much less pretentious couple than I imagined and delightfully well suited and I enjoyed the show. The abuse David suffered was appalling and phenomenal and the British public should be ashamed of this particularly low point in its history as soccer fans. But really, what was Victoria thinking, telling a love-struck and sensitive guy like David that she was pregnant immediately before such a big match. She seemed clueless that what followed could have been prevented had she shown a little kind restraint.

David Beckham's documentary is a testament to his incredible journey in the world of football and beyond. From his early days at Manchester United to his international career with England and his successful stint at various clubs worldwide, the film captures the essence of his sporting prowess. What truly shines, though, is Beckham's humility throughout the documentary.

One cannot help but be moved by his genuine appreciation for the opportunities he's been given and the people who have supported him along the way. Despite his fame and fortune, Beckham remains down-to-earth, grounded in his roots, and grateful for the life he's lived.

Overall, David Beckham's documentary is not just a celebration of his incredible achievements in football but also a testament to his character. His humility, gratitude, and commitment to making the world a better place make him not only a sporting icon but also a role model for aspiring athletes and individuals alike that one must never give up during moments of adversity. England was cruel to him and the media tried to destroy him and his family and they came out on top.

Absolutely beautiful documentary!

I lived the growing of the figure of David Beckham as a teen. I was only 4 years younger than him. And honestly, on the early days I thought it was only a marketing product. But men, I was wrong.

First, the documentary is pretty well done. It shows the mostly lights possible but also the dark. The darkness David Beckham lived as an iconic ultra mediatic person. What a nightmare.

Second, I like the way Beckham is shown here. Human. Not only the golden balls boy. He mostly accepted all the criticism with a pair of golden balls. That was raw.

Last, I recommend the documentary if you want to know who was the most iconic and mediatic person in football before CR7 - Messi era. Sir David Beckham.

From the point of view of somebody who seldom follows sports news and only knows David Beckham as a great soccer (I'm an American) player and Posh Spice's better half, this is quite informative, shocking at times.

His rise to stardom is awe-inspiring and much more pleasant than the abusive treatment some famous talented children (think Mozart and Beethoven) have experienced from elders who try to force them to be the best they could be. His parents appear to be loving and nurturing. His self-control (no drinking), humility and diligence (even when benched) that are most probably the fruits of an exemplary upbringing, are truly admirable.

The bullying he got from Manchester United fans for that one mistake is shocking. From being treated like a legend, he was bashed like no other. It's a wonder he did not crumble. That might be attributed to his awesome support system - his loving wife, parents and teammates, among others. But mostly, his nerves of steel and grit make him a giant among men.

I was just there for Posh and ended up cheering with the goals and wins and devastated when England didn't take the World Cup. Lol!

I suppose being clueless about football worked out for me. I had no idea about the outcomes of the big games or what David's next career move would be. Everything felt fresh and thrilling. Honestly, his life is like something straight out of a movie.

What I vibed with the most was that pure 90s and 00s nostalgia. Man, those were some wild times, peak capitalism and pop culture madness.

Absolutely recommended!
