Ticket für ein Jahr (2000)

Ticket für ein Jahr: Directed by Mark Herman. With Chris Beattie, Greg McLane, Charlie Hardwick, Roy Hudd. Two teenage boys will do anything to get money to buy season tickets for their local team.

“Itu0026#39;s not everyday that a movie moves you beyond words. As a football fan myself, I totally understood how important it was for those kids to have season tickets for Newcastle United. I could totally relate to the love they had for their club and the way they wanted to be respected. After all, that was all they ever wanted: respect. How to get it? Well, those are just boys with difficult lives. Their way to get respect was unorthodox, but how can I blame them? It has some funny moments, but this is mostly a sad story. Sure, this is not a feel-good movie. But why would it be? It is much better than that. And despite all the bitterness, I was left with a smile in my face and a lonely tear in my eye: those boys were happy and I was happy with them. Maybe the direction is too much predictable (after you see one Mark Herman movie, you pretty much saw all he has to offer as a director), but it has amazing characters and unpredictably amazing acting. I just love a movie that doesnu0026#39;t let me be indifferent to the story and the characters. This is such a movie. Totally recommend it.”
