The movie Friday Night Lights is one that interest me for many reasons. First and foremost, is that it is about football, which obviously makes me intrigued from the beginning. However going further into its plot, it is mainly about high school football. The way that the programs are run and how the students are impacted on the pressure, also on how the town reacts to everything that is done within the team and their record as well as the way they play. Why this relates to the media, is because of this movie, it makes me feel like this is the way it actually in down in Texas or the southern states in general, or at least in the late '80s. When a team loses the players feel it from the town, not like where I am from in which I couldn't have told you the record of our team in any of the four years we were there. It seems as though the media has portrayed Texas football as a live or die life in these areas. The movie constantly reminds the children (who the oldest is probably 18) that this game, and this team is the last thing they will ever accomplish. Most of them do not go on to play in college, or even go to college. In ways it makes me depressed; however for a different reason than you would think. Most people do not know when their moment to live life to its absolute fullest is. If it has happened in my life already I could not tell you. So why it depresses me is for this reason; they know that this is the biggest moment in their lives, while it may be early, and it may be melodramatic, it is still something that they will highlight their lives with. I feel as though most people don't ever get the chance to know when this is in their lives, so unlike the players we can not cherish the moment for what it is. Even though the movie ends and the team loses it still will be one of the greatest moments the team will ever experience.
