Hoosiers
Directed by David Anspaugh
1986
★ 4.5 editorial score
Indiana still argues about how close it is to what actually happened in 1954: Gene Hackman coaches a town of a few hundred people who care about nothing else at all.
“The film features basketball and the love of a community for the sport, but that's not what Hoosiers is about. It's about redemption. Norman must not only put his past behind him, but overcome the shadow of his actions and rebuild himself in Hickory. Even his lone supporter, the school principal, is not always sure he can do it....And Norman gives second chances to two of his players who initially turn their backs on the team.”
