Summary: 5 Stars
The Great Match, 2006 is a Film Movement release. Film Movement allows fans across the country to see films that may never have been released for international viewing. It is a movement that features some of many years' best foreign and independent films, to bring them into your home.
Great Match is an international film that features three languages from different parts of the world, as three groups venture to view the 2002 World Cup Soccer Match between Brazil and Germany. The three global groups are, a family of Mongolian nomads, a camel caravan of Tuareg in the Sahara, and a group of Indios in the Amazon. So we get to follow the humorous journey these people embark on, just to see the game on TV, any TV. It is enjoyable to the end, watching these people determined to see the game and their inventive ways for technology.
You may want to watch this a couple of times in order to fully grasp some humor missed the first time around. Reading subtitles and trying to catch all the action can be daunting and challenging.
The film is very original, nothing of a storyline as this has been viewed. That's what makes a film original and to find humor of this quality.
Once noticeable thing is the magnificent views of the world. This is striking.
Gerardo Olivares is a writer, director, producer and actor. His most recent is a documentary 14 Kilometers ( 14 kilómetros ) ] Olivares is worthy of looking into for more. ...... Rizzo
Summary of The Great Match
This film tells the adventurous story of three heroes, none of whom have ever met, but who nevertheless have two things in common: firstly, they all live in the farthest-flung corners of the planet and, secondly, they are all three determined to see on TV the final in Japan of the 2002 World Cup between Germany and Brazil. The protagonists in this 'global' comedy are: a family of Mongolian nomads, a camel caravan of Tuareg in the Sahara, and a group of Indios in the Amazon. They all live about 500 kilometres away from the next town and the next television making their task a particularly daunting one. Nevertheless, these inventive people possess the resourcefulness and the willpower to achieve their goal.Similar DVD Movies
