Hyun-Jin Ryu: Great Run

WP_20131014_025

One bad thing of cutting the cable is that I need to find an alternative or walk out from home to watch any big game which is only visible thru cable. The worst of this game, NLCS game 3 was on Monday where bar was crowded and loud on Monday Night Football. 🙂

Anyhow, finally scrambled to watch Ryu’s “happen to be his last game of the season afterward” via big screen at the bar with full crowd of football fans.

What a great year for Ryu who blewed off all the question marks imposed on him when he first came here.

The Hopeful

아무래도 미국에서 재미있는 Sports Documentary/영화는 아무래도 Football 관련이 많다.

우연히 발견한 Documentary. Tier 1 대학에서 Quarterback을 하고 싶다는 희망을 가진 학생이 어떻게 성장하는 지를 몇년간 촬영하며 만든 연대기 documentary. 선수로써 성장할 수 있는 좋은 팀을 찾아 맹모삼천지교로 전학다니며 운동하는 선수를 뒷바라지하는 가족의 헌신도 나오고, 선수로써의 성장과 좌절, 그리고 잔혹한 경쟁 또한 보여준다. (그리고 심지어 “재수”까지…)

인생의 여러 선택의 경로의 “신의 한수”의 선택과, 꿈을 향한 열정이 무엇인지를 보여주는 좋은 영화…
