Review:
1. As a football fan, it always fascinated me to know how does it feel to be a professional football player, getting fans all over the world, living the different lifestyle, meeting football experts and legends and many more. Maybe that is the reason I watched the movie. I am not a big fan of Cristiano but I always considered him as one of the greatest, in fact he is one of the two football players including Messi who defined football of this generation. These two players took football to extreme level, creating many records that would be hardly broken in future, scored many goals and earned many trophy. But other then football life, they got their private life, and I always wanted to know how is their personal life. This is the main reason that dragged me into this movie.
2. We heard many of Cristiano's childhood. We all know how much he struggled. I thought maybe they would focus more on that on this movie. But this movie is full of interview with his friends, family and agents and his current daily life. This was a disappointing side of this movie. But overall, I enjoyed this movie. It was still great to see his daily life. Seeing his house, cars and his other property made me and my friend a kind of jealous. There is a scene where he opens garage and asks his son which car is missing. In the garage there were many expensive cars that we people dream about. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes, Rolls Royce and many other. And his son actually identifies the missing car. This scene made me real jealous(who wouldn't?)
His Love for his Son is immense as everyone already knows it.
3. As a big fan of Messi, this movie gave me many happy moments since Leo was included in this movie many times. Both of them said many times that they respect each other and do not see each other as rivals but as a person who make them better player. Personally, I don't think they don't see each other as rivals. Definitely there is a feeling of rivalry, but also this is the reason these two players are becoming better player every day. Both of them wants to prove
themselves better then other, so they work hard everyday.
4. In the movie Cristiano said that his son, Cristiano Jr., doesn't know about his real mother and he will know when it's the right time. That was a moment when I felt an huge respect towards him. He is taking solo custody of his son, which is a kind of rare these days. So, I believe he deserves respect for this.
5. A mother's love can't be hidden. Even in this movie, we can see the love bonding between Cristiano and his mother. The pain of the mother seeing his son struggling to win the biggest title, FIFA World Cup, but failing is something hard to see. Cristiano sharing moments with his family including his son, mother, brother, agent, friends and other was definitely amazing moments to see. We could witness the life of professional family from close angle.
6. Seeing Cristiano Jr. being shy with Messi was a happy moment of this movie. Cristiano's mother said, "he (Jr) cant believe he (Messi) is actually here", this dialogue made me in shock. Ronaldo even said it later that his son is big fan of Messi. The world where one player is loved by half of the world and hated by rest half because of his biggest rival, but knowing that they respect and admire each other and even his son is one of the fan of his rival. This was certainly something awesome to know.
8. At last, I would like to say that this movie was really awesome. There are very few movies that showed the life of any professional football player, so this one was fascinating. Although this movie received very low rating from critics, but I would say this one was awesome and surely deserves better rating. All I can say is, if you are football fan, then you must watch this movie.
