Junction Boys was an entertaining flick. Character based. Real thin story. Conflict didn't extend beyond some newspaper clippings and photos people held up. Easy way to keep everything on the field yet elicit some ideas. Basically a bunch of kids getting yelled at by a legendary coach and hitting each other. It was fun to see the portrayal of the practices as it really gave a feel for it, and the time, 1953. That was cool. To move forward 25 years to wrap up the emotions was an easy thing to do too. Not much of a stretch in the story or flick, though it was fun.
A better story with far more detail, far more at stake, far more drama, would be the 1951 cheating scandal at West Point, and the 1953 return to their glory.
