Miracle

I think the social context is how even during the time of the cold war sports can bring people together which is what I feel sports were created for. This miracle might not have took place if the US would have been forced to boycott the games. The part that i liked the best was when the coach had already picked the team on the first day of tryouts. This made that one man very mad he thought it was the group decision. The coach told him he knew what players he wanted. Then another guy said these aren't even the best players. The coach said we don't need the best players we need the right ones to play as a team. This made me proud because even though we might not be better than the russians we could still beat them if we play as a team. I also don't feel you could compare this movie to One day in september because miracle is about how a game can bring pride without huritng anyone and one day in september is sick how those people celebrated after those people died.
