"When saturday comes" is a movie i wont forget easily. Its about courage and choices you take that affect your life. Its incredibly touching in some moments and makes you feel compassion for Jimmy Muir. He is a guy who wanted to play football,but was refused the chance as a teenager and instead has to go the grey worker road to support himself. Then suddenly the chance he wanted 10 years ago is right there ahead of him. But he feels what most of us felt when we first got our career breaks-he's afraid and unsecure. So he drowns himself in drinking and other excesses to try and make the fear go away. But it doesnt work that way. Instead he loses the chance he so much wanted and is back on the grey dirty road again.
The football field here has a symbolic meaning. Its the way out of his grey everyday,a bright road that leads away from it to a better life. Thats what makes this movie so poignant. For Jimmy Muir there is no other way to have a happy life. After losing both his brother and his girl,he is desperate and thinks life has no meaning anymore. But then he remembers what his brother said that symbolises the true spirit. That you have to give your best in order to succeed in life and never give in for your fear.
Sean Bean was great in this film. The recent years i have been admiring him more and more and this film is a good reason to do it. Pete Postlethwaite and Emily Loyd make a great supporting cast. This is a movie to remember.8 out of 10.
