🏈🏈CineTV Contest: Gridiron Gang, Life in a game. 🏈🏈@culebro1128d

Hello everyone in this @cinetv community, I hope you are well, this week I noticed that you put the theme of American Football in the contest, so I remembered that a while ago I saw a movie called "Gridiron Gang", so I would like to talk to you of this great film based on true events.

Hola a todos en esta comunidad de @cinetv, espero se encuentren bien, esta semana noté que colocaron la temática del Futbol Americano en el concurso, por lo que recordé que hace un tiempo vi una película llamada “Gridiron Gang”, así que quisiera hablarles de esta grandiosa película basada en hechos reales.

GRIDIRON GANG

Starring “Dwayne ~~THE ROCK~~ Johnson” and directed by “Phil Joanou”, Gridiron Gang tells us the story of coach Sean Porter, who works in a juvenile correctional institution and realizes how lost the life of this group of young delinquents was. He decides to start training them in order to give them a healthy purpose in their lives.

Protagonizada por “Dwayne Johnson” y dirigido por “Phil Joanou”, Gridiron Gang nos muestra la historia del entrenador Sean Porter, quien trabaja en una institución correccional juvenil y al darse de cuenta de lo perdida que estaba la vida de este grupo de jóvenes delincuentes decide comenzar a entrenarlos para así darles un propósito sano a sus vidas.

In my country, American football is not popular, and personally I never got to play it, but I like watching sports on television, I have seen many movies and series that have a sports story in their plot, but on issues of American football, “Gridiron Gang” is the perfect story.

En mi país no es popular el futbol americano, y en lo personal nunca lo llegué a jugar, pero me gusta ser espectador del deporte en la televisión, he visto muchas películas y series que tienen una historia deportiva en su trama, pero en temas de futbol americano, “Gridiron Gang” es la historia perfecta.

Johnson's performance is solid and moving, and the young cast does a good job as well. The action on the pitch and the drama off it is what makes this story so interesting. If you are a fan of cinema and sports, this film is the one and I assure you that it is worth seeing.

La actuación de Johnson es sólida y conmovedora, y el elenco de jóvenes también hace un buen trabajo. La acción dentro del campo y el drama fuera de él es lo que hace esta historia muy interesante. Si eres aficionado al cine y al deporte, esta película es la indicada y te aseguro que merece la pena ver.

Jade Yorker presents an exceptional interpretation of William "Willie" Weathers, his reality has caused me a lot of pain, since he had to face difficult situations that led him to be a juvenile delinquent, but the desire to achieve a victory in life is the factor fundamental that leads him to motivate himself to join this football team.

Jade Yorker presenta una interpretación excepcional de William "Willie" Weathers, su realidad me ha causado mucho dolor, ya que tuvo que enfrentar situaciones difíciles que lo llevaron a ser un delincuente juvenil, pero el deseo de alcanzar una victoria en la vida es el factor fundamental que lo lleva a motivarse a entrar en este equipo de futbol americano.

In the 1990s, American football coach Sean Porter worked as a counselor at a juvenile correctional facility in Los Angeles. Porter realized that many of the young people did not have goals in life. He decided to form a football team with them to help them channel their energy in a positive way and develop important skills such as teamwork, discipline and perseverance.

The team played against other private and public school teams, although they did not win every game, the experience had a positive impact on the lives of the team. The story was made public in a documentary of the same name in 1993, and was later made into the film "Gridiron Gang" in 2006.

En los años 90, el entrenador de fútbol americano Sean Porter trabajó como consejero en una institución correccional juvenil en Los Ángeles. Porter se dio cuenta de que muchos de los jóvenes no tenían objetivos en la vida. Decidió formar un equipo de fútbol americano con ellos para ayudarles a canalizar su energía de manera positiva y desarrollar habilidades importantes como el trabajo en equipo, la disciplina y la perseverancia.

El equipo jugó contra otros equipos de escuelas privadas y públicas, aunque no ganó todos los partidos, la experiencia tuvo un impacto positivo en la vida de los jóvenes del equipo. La historia se hizo pública en un documental del mismo nombre en 1993, y posteriormente se convirtió en la película “Gridiron Gang” en 2006.

This film (and its story) seems perfect to me, American football changed the lives of these young people and led them to have the first great achievement of their lives, this is a story that without a doubt did not lack anything, it is moving and inspiring and that is why it was my choice for this CineTv Contest. I hope you like my post and that it motivates you to watch this movie.

Esta película (y su historia) me parece perfecta, el futbol americano cambió la vida de estos jóvenes y los llevó a tener el primer gran logro de sus vidas, esta es una historia que sin duda alguna no le faltó nada, es conmovedora e inspiradora y por eso fue mi elección para este Concurso de CineTv. Espero les guste mi post y que les motive a ver esta película.

›The Best Sports Movies #10: Gridiron Gang@lett1755d
When I first saw the trailer for this film, I thought, just what we need another inspirational true story about how teachers or coaches changed children’s lives. But for just another one of those stories it is amazingly well done. It has a solid and interesting plot and the acting is good. I rather enjoyed this film.
_credit
This story is about a man, Sean Porter (The Rock), who works at a juvenile detention center in California. He believes the success rate of rehabilitating the juveniles is too low. They are all involved in gangs and most of them end up dead or back in jail after they leave the detention center. Sean wants to find a way to “save” more of these kids. He knows that gang membership is the problem, but if he is going to ask the kids to give up their gangs, he must give them something else to belong to. He, having played football in school, believes football is the answer. He thinks the discipline of football will help the kids plus it will give them a team or a family so to speak to belong to instead of a gang. He initial team is composed of kids he thinks can be saved or kids that have some football experience.
_credit
They include such characters as Junior who is a disciplinary problem who promises to behave if he can play—he wants to make his son proud. Willie Weathers whose cousin just got out of the detention center and was killed by a rival gang, Willie lands in jail by killing his stepfather who is abusing his mother, Kelvin Owens who is from the rival gang that killed Willie’s cousin, and Kenny Bates who stole a car. Sean convinces a Christian school league to let them in the league so that the kids will have someone to play against. They only have 3 weeks to prepare for the first game and it is a disaster for the Mustangs (name of the prison team), but we watch as the team gets better and the boys continue to grow and mature. Will they make it to the playoffs and will Sean’s program make a difference in these boys’ lives? One cool thing about this movie is that it is based on a true story and at the end of the film it tells what happened to each of the boys.
_credit
As far as cinematography and plot both were solidly done but nothing special. There are no flashy special effects just a good solid film full of heart.

The acting was well done. I thought The Rock was perfect for the role of Sean Porter. He is the right mixture of caring and toughness to be able to handle these boys. He also shows amazing grit during the times of adversity, as when the team looses badly in that first game, and also his mother is dying of cancer while this is going on. His was a wonderful character that seemed real and full of depth. All the boys did a good job as well.
_credit
Setu Taase plays Junior, the problem child who wants to change and be better. Jade Yorker plays Willie Weathers, the boy would doesn’t want to change, but finds himself becoming more mature in spite of himself. David Thomas plays Kelvin Owens who is Willie’s nemesis from a rival gang.
_credit
And my favorite, Trever O'Brien plays Kenny Bates, the poor boy stole a car and not a good one at that. He has problems with his mother as a result and all he really wants is his mother to love him and be proud of him perhaps this football team can help him with that. All in all I thought the acting well done.

_credit

These types of stories always amaze me, as an educator I can’t imagine overcoming some of the adversity that is presented in stories such as these. This one is based on a true event; is well done; and is quite an enjoyable movie. If you like hopeful stories, football movies, or just a good film for a Sunday afternoon then you should give this film a try.

›Gridiron Gang: Una historia sobre segundas oportunidades en un entorno criminal@giovaabbatichio2438d
Es refrescante recordar la faceta de La Roca donde él se dedicaba más a sus personajes, donde no solo era considerado una gran masa de músculo sino donde sus actuaciones eran realmente buenas. Porque si, The Rock no comenzó ni salto al estrellato haciendo las películas que le vemos hacer ahora, películas entretenidas pero que regularmente van dirigidas a un tipo de público muy especial que solo quiere entretenerse con algo más que ver una historia profundo o llena de drama; en sus inicios The Rock hizo varias interpretaciones destacadas donde brillo por la intensidad que logró infundirle a sus personaje, interpretaciones que hicieron memorables películas simple como Remember The Titans, película de las que quiero hablarles hoy.

[Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9766-gridiron-gang?language=en-US) # # La Trama # Aunque suene contradictoria esta es una película donde The Rock si interpreta a su algo típico papel de hombre duro y fuerte, sin embargo no destaca por eso, aquí su interpretación destaca por la historia en la que se desarrolla, una trama dura y llena de matices sociales que afectan a una comunidad que poco a poco se vio llevada a tomar el camino criminal. Esta película tiene como trama el enfrentamiento de bandas que se volvieron habituales en los estados unidos en una época y que marco el futuro de muchos jóvenes que simplemente fueron succionados al agujero de la criminalidad, un agujero que los succiono a ellos y todo el que tenía alguna relación con ellos.
En fin centrándonos un poco de lo que trata esta película es de como un grupo de hombres que trabajando para el sistema judicial carcelario decidieron emprender un viaje y una misión que les permitiera ayudar a los jóvenes que habían entrado a prisión y a centros de recuperación por problemas con pandillas, jóvenes que merecían una segunda oportunidad y que debían ser salvados de una vida criminal que los llevaría a la muerte. A lo largo de la película vemos como el grupo de hombres se encargaron de confrontar sin miedo a criminales y pandilleros para llevarlos por el camino del bien a través del deporte, un deporte que además de permitirles enfocar su mente en algo diferente a lo que estaban viviendo les enseñaría diferentes cosas que ayudarían a cambiar su carácter y a enderezar sus vidas.

Es fascinante ver el ritmo con el que esta historia se desarrolla porque a través de los minutos vemos escenas memorables de enfrentamientos, lucha y sobretodo de convicción, convicción por ganar, convicción por intentarlo y sobre todo por no quedarse con la derrota que ha marcado mayor parte de la vida de estos jóvenes.
Como mencione al principio The Rock es otro elemento destacado de esta película porque en él vemos reflejado constantemente el coraje y el valor que un hombre quiere transmitir a un grupo de jóvenes con la esperanza de salvarlos de algo que él vivió en carne propio. En esta película vemos a un Dwayne Johnson complejo, intenso y que se desvive por transmitir algo en pantalla, logrando así que sintamos el furor con el que él lucha por los jóvenes. Sin duda él y el cast de jóvenes que eligieron para darle vida a los diferentes reclusos son parte de las cosas que hacen de esta una gran película, una película que no se queda con nada y que constantemente nos muestra detalles fuertes de la vida de jóvenes rechazados e inmersos en toda clases de conflictos criminales, jóvenes que aún estando en la cárcel sentían los golpes de la calle.

En general esta es una gran película, entretenida, con buenas actuaciones y un ritmo intenso y constante que nunca se detiene en lo que nos quiere mostrar. #

›Gridiron Gang : A story about second chances in criminals environments@giovaabbatichio2440d
It is refreshing to remember the side of The Rock where he dedicated himself more to his characters, where he was not only considered a great mass of muscle but where his performances were really good. Because yes, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson didn't start or leap to stardom making the movies we see him make now, entertaining movies but regularly directed to a very special kind of audience that only wants to entertain itself with something more than seeing a deep story or drama; in its beginnings The Rock made several outstanding interpretations where shine by the intensity that he managed to infuse to his character, interpretations that made memorable simple movies like Gridiron Gang, the movie I want to talk about today.

[Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9766-gridiron-gang?language=en-US) # # The Plot # Although it sounds contradictory, this is a film in which The Rock does play its typical role as a hard and strong man. However, it doesn't stand out for that, here its interpretation stands out for the story in which it takes place, a hard plot full of social nuances that affect a community that little by little was led to take the criminal path. This film has as its plot the confrontation of bands that became habitual in the United States at a time and that marked the future of many young people who were simply sucked into the hole of criminality, a hole that sucked them and everyone who had any relationship with them.
In short, focusing a little on what this film is about, a group of men working for the prison justice system decided to embark on a journey and a mission that would allow them to help young people who had entered prison and recovery centers for gang problems, young people who deserved a second chance and who should be saved from a criminal life that would lead them to death. Throughout the film we see how the group of men fearlessly confronted criminals and gang members to lead them on the path of good through sport, a sport that in addition to allowing them to focus their minds on something different from what they were living would teach them different things that would help change their character and straighten their lives.

[Source](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj1uvethrnlAhWKMd8KHWTAB2cQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.slantmagazine.com%2Ffilm%2Fgridiron-gang%2F&psig=AOvVaw0BHOmDC64wMlvyFYT28eZ2&ust=1572149201042642) # The plot does not have many twists and throughout the film we will see the road and the difficulties that different gang members and young criminals had to face while they were imprisoned, difficulties that destroyed many but in general served as a lesson for a group of young people who in addition to learning to have fun learned the value of their lives and others. # # Personal Opinion. # I really liked this film and every time I get the chance to see it again I see it, because it is a film that takes a not so simple story that has been reproduced in different ways and takes it to a more real level, taking a plot of criminal struggle and social survival and turning it into a motivating story about the success and above all the power that discipline has if you want to change. It is fascinating to see the rhythm with which this story develops because through the minutes we see memorable scenes of confrontations, struggle and above all conviction, conviction to win, conviction to try and especially not to remain with the defeat that has marked most of the lives of these young people.
As I mentioned at the beginning The Rock is another outstanding element of this film because in him we see constantly reflected the courage and bravery that a man wants to transmit to a group of young people in the hope of saving them from something that he lived in his own flesh. In this film we see a Dwayne Johnson complex, intense and relentless to transmit something on screen, thus making us feel the furor with which he fights for young people. Without a doubt he and the cast of teenagers that they chose to give life to the different inmates are part of the things that make this a great film, a film that doesn't keep anything and that constantly shows us strong details of the life of young people rejected and immersed in all kinds of criminal conflicts, young people who even while in prison felt the hits of the street.

In general this is a great film, entertaining, with good performances and an intense and constant rhythm that never stops at what it wants to show us.

Personal Score: 7,4
