First of all i think the social context is to show what some societies are like and how we may view them. The Russians in the beginning look just like stuck up hockey player. We did not see but i believe in the end it helps us to see that the Russians were very positive towards the Americans for winning. Another thing i think this showed us in a social context is that Americans are fighters and will always do what it takes to win. As for a political side, this was all taking place during the cold war. This showed the Russians and the Americans involvement and how possibly this game or miracle could have never happened because the us could have been forced to boycott the games. One part in the movie that made me feel proud of my patriotism is when the coach made them do lines. It showed that individually we do have our own thoughts about our selves but in the end we are always together as a team. The example was when the player said he played for the United States of America. Overall, i like this movie very much and i think it portrays Americans and how we approach situation like these very well.
