I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Touches You

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's been a few years since this film came out and when it came out, it was the best football film ever. It still holds the crown as films like Pele, United Passions, Heleno, Montevideo Bog Te Video, United are not better than this. Forest fans and people that know Clough better will disagree with Clough's depiction in this picture. It is inaccurate to say the least, but that doesn't detract from the quality of this film. A more accurate picture could've made this film better for some, but its inaccuracy did not reduce my enjoyment of this film.It is a great film, a story of two friends that go through good times and bad, but it's also a story of two rivals, an underdog vs the man who is the establishment himself (Leeds United, England NT). I wish someone would make "Clough, the Forest years" so we can see more of Sir Brian, his ups and downs, reaching the limit (the unbeaten run, the league, the two European cups) but also real downs (falling out with Taylor, alcoholism) and funny episodes such as punching the fans.All of Nottingham would watch that film and many football fans, make it realistic this time.

Good English soccer movie, the story of Brian Clough's short stint as Leeds manager in 1974, events and intrigues leading to it, and the aftermath. Even if you're not interested in soccer you'll enjoy the themes involved - blind ambition, rivalry, management skill, teamwork. Script and direction are great. The time-jumps are a perfect vehicle for the story, and the director does not overdo the soccer scenes.Probably the best thing about the movie is the acting of Michael Sheen. He was great as David Frost in Frost-Nixon and here he is even better. He absolutely inhabits the character of Brian Clough and proves that he is one of the great character-actors of this generation.

For me, in addition to the fine writing, acting and directing, "The Damned United" was a movie to cause some self-reflection as I saw myself in the character of Brian Clough. The self pride and arrogance that results from fixating on a particular goal for vengeful purposes which, in my professional life, I have been guilty of myself.The collateral damage caused to the ones who care about you in those circumstances can be devastating and result in the loss of friendships. Thankfully in the case of Mr. Clough it is eventually a lesson learned but even then comes the rebuilding of bridges.This movie has become one of my favorites as I was able to apply the moral to my own self in a way that can have a positive result while entertaining me with all the humor, drama, action and emotional passion that is the mark of a solidly good film.Although I feel that the movie is presented in a manner that provides entertainment to a wide scoping audience, fans of European Soccer as well as fans of competitive sports overall would particularly appreciate this movie.

Michael Sheen in another bio and what a magnificent character he gets to play this time. However, if you are not a fan of him, stay away because he is on screen every minute of the "damned" thing.It was written with him in mind and while I was enjoying his performance on screen, I could not help but feel left out on something. Then it struck me, there is virtually no believable reaction to this enormously unsympathetic character, except at that crucial moment in Brighton.The story involves his hatred of the Leeds team and we are basically left with him ranting and raving about this hatred in the scenes in 1974. I would have liked a little more background on the relationship between he and the players at Leeds, because you know there must have been more to it then what is shown.Instead, the main focus is on the Taylor/Clough relationship, which although nice, is kind of something you have seen over and over again.This is not a bad film by any means, but it wasn't that fulfilling as I would have thought, and that last scene is really dragged out endlessly. Bromance comedies are all the rage now, but I thought that the last scene could have worked just as well without that dialogue. Sorry, it made me kind of sick.
