The movie Miracle is a great movie, especially when you add in what context it was in. This took place in a time where we were not very fond of Russia, and they weren't very fond of us. This was also known as the Cold War, a time where each country was ready to blow the next one to bits but nobody would pull the trigger. To add to that, our economy was in the dumps, gas prices were rocketing up, and the USSR just happened to be the most dominant hockey team in the world. Adding all these things together, it makes an already exciting and tense Olympic games, a little more exciting.
There was many great moments in this movie, but the one that really got me geared up was when after the second period the crown is chanting "U-S-A" in unison and Herb Brooks gives his speech on being able to beat the Russians. It really displayed how much appreciation these fans felt for these college kids representing there country against one of the most dominant nations in the world in the USSR. It also was really the moment where I thought the team really came together as one instead as individuals. There was a sense of comradery during that moment that really hit me. In a way I do believe this is how the Palestinians felt, but there actions were much more radical than ours so I would like to believe that it was only a small group of palestinians that felt that way, although I am not sure that I am right. I think they are very loyal to there country just as we are, but that is about where the similarities stop.
