Movie Analysis: Determination

Determination. Determination is firmness of purpose; resoluteness also known as a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult. In so many stories you see so many people and characters being determined. But especially in the Panyee Football Club movie by TMB Brand, the boys learn that through hard work and determination you can achieve anything. Even though the villagers made fun of the boys the boys were determined. The boys ended up forming their own team, building their own pitch, and entering a tournament. The boys worked hard even through the hard challenges they faced like the villagers, the space and the weather/ conditions. The Panyee football team teaches great life lessons.

One reason why
For example one day the a group of boys were watching football, then the boys thought of the idea to create their own soccer team, they thought of where they were gonna build a pitch to play on, the villagers laughed and said “ Look around where you live.” The boys realized the villagers were right. They had nowhere to practice or play. Just like the article says “We had ourselves a football team but we didn't have a pitch.” At this moment in the story the boys lost hope and didn't believe that they could play anymore. But since the boys were determined they pushed through the struggles, like limited supplies, no space, and the criticism. The boys all started collecting old wood from the area, working hard after school, collecting all sorts of rafts. The boys said “ We worked hard everyday after school until the pitch was finally completed.” This shows that through hard work and being determined to do something you can do what you want. The boys had limited space and supplies but worked hard to accomplish what they wanted to. Even when they thought that they could never become football champions they did. The boys finally said “And working hard after school we finished the playing surface.” The boys stayed positive and kept believing, and it payed off. They finally had a pitch to play on and they could practice. I think that the boys really wanted to play because they wouldn't have gone through as
Even though the boys did not know if they were good enough to enter they had faith in themselves. The boys were already so determined to build their own pitch and create their own team, so what would hurt if they entered a tournament. Even though one of the boys said “I’m not sure if we are good enough to enter,” the boys were very brave that they decided to enter. When they left for the tournament they had no idea that the villagers had been watching them play and pitched in to buy them new gear. They even got new shirts one of the villager said to the boys “You don't look like champions in those clothes! You'll look better in these.” I think that this boosted the boys confidence. When the boys first got to the tournament they were nervous but as they started playing one of the boys said “ We realized we were better than we thought.” Then when the boys got to the semi-final the other team was up by 2. The Panyee Football Team lost hope. But they were determined to try and do their best. They didn't give up. Even though they had no coach, little gear, and little experience they fought until the game was over. The boys came back and tied the game 2-2. But then and the very last second the other team scored. Even though the team did not win they were very brave to even enter the tournament. Even the villagers were proud of the boys. They said “Be proud of yourself.” The boys said
