The game remains one of the best moments in sports history. "Miracle" depicts America's spiritual triumph over the Specter of Communism. The implications of this Olympic showdown went far beyond the scope of sports, in the grand scheme of things.

A story about people rather than just one a team going for the win. In doing so, O'Connor makes Miracle one of the more thoughtful and enjoyable films revolving around sports.

Even if you don't know a "blue line from a clothes line," "Miracle" is a thoroughly enjoyable film that unspools like a Robert Altman movie where many characters' individual essences are revealed at once.

Esquemtico em toda a narrativa, apenas mais um exemplo inferior do gnero "azaro-com-esprito-de-vencedor".

While I don't like the way it simplifies history, I have to admit that Miracle is a hugely effective crowd-pleaser.
