Real, la película

Being a fan of the great game myself, I decided that the movie Real: The Movie, was worth a shot. Seriously, how could live action of the Real Madrid soccer team not be cool?!?!?! But that was about all there was in my opinion. The live action from the games seems like a great basis for a film, but thanks to terrible directing, and mediocre acting (to be generous), this movie was a total letdown for me. The entire idea itself was actually pretty interesting, but nothing was made of it. Do not walk into this movie with high hopes, or hopes for it at all. Look for good live action from some of the greatest Futbol players in the entire world, but don't look for a terrific movie.... at all. FOR ALL THE SOCCER FANS OUT THERE! IF YOU WANT A PRETTY GOOD SOCCER MOVIE (that is a feature film) GOAL: THE DREAM BEGINS is your best shot.

Sorry, but Real the Movie only gets a 3 out of 10.

I thought that IMDb was a professional movie market organization, but reading above comment, done before a movie has been released and talking about politics, is is something terrible. Please some one from here, I do not know, a webmaster or so, check this out and please re-conduct this comments to the purpose of this web page.

I do not know if everybody knows what Real Madrid is, but I must say that it is a 103 years old sport club, born before even the fascist movement was even in its beginning.

I do honestly like this web page, it is beautiful, but please do not let political demagogy go.

I have seen the movie, or I must say documentary film?, I do not know exactly how can I describe it. My first surprise was that I did not expect a movie like this. Of course it is soccer but it is also fiction (based on real facts as they say). The African story is beautiful and the Japanese one very funny, but what it is really beautiful is how a match is shown.

Madrid's story is just fine, but it is not like the others. Please do not forget the conversation between Beckham and a supporter in an elevator, and the speech coach Luxemburgo gives to the players, it is just brilliant.

If you like sports you have to see it, but if you like soccer you must see it.

bizz-2, I'm pretty sure you haven't seen the movie, and I'm absolutely sure you don't know anything about what happen when Franco was ruling Spain. In the 40's and 50's, the time when Fanco power was stronger, the team who won more Leagues in Spain was Barcelona!!! Real Madrid has won more since Franco died, the only place where they could compete without Franco interfering was in Europe competitions and there Real Madrid was the best. Since Real Madrid has been the strongest team in Spain and Europe since then, there are other team sympathizers making stories like yours. About the movie, is about 5 stories based on real life stories, and also they follow the team showing things you don't usually see. Is a very emotional movie, with great cinematography and a superb music score, I really recommend it to all Soccer Fans.

Real is the most successful club in the history of soccer/football, has won 9 champions leagues, 29 Spain leagues,... for that reason was named by FIFA and other sport associations the best club of 20th century, while Brazil was name best NT team.

But the film isn't simply about the club with probably more prestige and supporters around the world.

The movie speak about the passion for this beautiful sport, relating the story of five persons with different problems, using RM as a link between the stories.

The stories are mixed, you don't see the end of the stories until the end of the movie. The stories are really good, specially the story of the African supporter.

It is a entertaining movie, with some touching moments. And I think that can be enjoyed by any soccer or other sport supporter (except by hooligans that hate Real Madrid), because the movie speaks about feelings that are shared by millions of soccer/football or other sport supporters around the world, the passion/love for your team ...a team that can be Real Madrid or any other.
