Please be advised that the following content may contain spoilers for the following movie(s): Miracle
Herb’s wife Patti asks if there’s even any ice to play on in June? Is she really unaware of indoor ice rinks? This feels like the sexist “woman doesn’t know anything about sports” cliche.
This movie really tries to push the (by all accounts) false narrative that Eruzione barely made the team. They even get this started very early on where Bowl cut guy tells Walter that Eruzione will never make the team. They even make sure that his name is called last when Craig Patrick is informing the players on who made the team. Weird the names aren’t called alphabetically or by position group.
Speaking of this scene, the IOC suits (or wherever these clowns are from) have to have known that Herb wasn’t going to collaborate with them on who makes the team. If it’s that big of a deal, why didn’t they make a bigger stink about this earlier?
Ah yes the world famous Boston vs Minnesota hockey rivalry. I know the Bruins and the Wild are just the fiercest of rivals.
Patti thinks a “zillion” is a real number. And by Patti I mean the sexist writer who wrote that line. Are the screen writers now insisting that woman don’t know how numbers work?
This movie really spoon feeds the audience everything. After getting into a fight with his wife where she asks him how long he’s going to keep trying to settle an old score, he digs out his team photo from 1960. The camera starts on the team photo centered on Herb yet then very slowly and dramatically pans down to the names of those photographed to confirm that that is indeed Herb. I think anyone with halve a brane can come to the conclusion that that’s him based on his conversation with Patti earlier and where the camera is centered. Why would Herb take out that picture to intensely stare at some other dude for halve an hour. Then again it is a Disney movie.
The players on the bench are picking out woman in the audience they deem attractive during the scrimmage in Oslo. This movie just keeps continuing to treat woman as objects.
That speech from Eruzione is cute and all but in real life the Herbies ended because Mark Johnson smashed his stick in frustration.
Why is it the hockey team’s responsibility to push the plane back to the gate after it hit a moose? Isn’t there a ground staff? Why can’t the plane just taxi back to the runway? Herb tells Patti over the phone that “they gotta make sure the plane is all right”. I get you can’t takeoff until after you make sure everything is alright but surely they can at least taxi back to the gate right? Or have maintenance take it back? Why is it the hockey team’s responsibility? I’m guessing Herb volunteered on their behalf but the whole thing is weird. I really could use an airplane technical advisor for moments like these but I can’t even find a boomer technical advisor on a site full of boomers.
Patti tried to console Herb after he finds out Carter might boycott the Olympics in Moscow and he responds by telling her they’re out of milk. Jackass.
Why is Jim Craig wearing a Santa suit at the Christmas party?
Oh come on! Walter just happens to call Herb right after he cut Cox and asks if his team has been finalized?
The American flag is not supposed to be draped around someone’s shoulders or otherwise worn as a poncho. The fact that the director not only decided to include this but decided to actually be the one to drape it over Eddie Cahill’s (Jim Craig) shoulders is irresponsible.
