A Season on the Brink (2002 TV Movie)
9/10
Nicely done film
10 March 2002
Of course, when you first look at where I go to college at and where I am from, you may assume that this is biased. I thought the movie was pretty good though. Just got done watching it twice tonight and I thought it was cool. The beautiful seasonal shots of campus were a nice pride booster and the game footage that they worked into the acted out games was just awesome. I also thought the input from the local community and people involved was nice. There was more pro-Knight input than Anti-Knight input, but that because this movie is evidently geared more towards the pro-Knight fan. Who would want to see a bunch of Anti-Knight commentators rip on him in segments through the 2 hours? I agree with what one of the portrayed coaches said on the post-movie show when they kind of made the assistant coaches not get along very well. I was kind of expecting him to blow up a little more. They left out the part where he yells at some cheerleaders for scoring a psyche-out (ref, Baseketball) on Alford. It appears they were pushing for people to look at the good side of Knight. I thought there was a bit of a reference to the previous season when Knight threw the chair out on the court during the practice (being that the chair incident happened at Purdue the previous season). They were all just quiet and staring at him and I didn't get it until I thought about it. Little things like this and what I mentioned were what I thought made this movie good.
