Friday Night Lights


This film was just too much like the movie and the show Friday Night Lights. Not only the subject matter (high school football), but the style of filmmaking as well. Even though Undefeated is a documentary and FNL is fiction, the filmmaking techniques (use of music, football sequences, car-drive pan shots) are very similar. I think it detracted from the originality of Undefeated.

FNL was great; Undefeated is OK.

I think that the fact that it was a documentary made it a little more special. Obviously the movie was based off of real life, but it was still pretty fictionalized compared to reality.

Friday Night Lights wasnt all fiction though it was based on a true story,the film is closer to the original book ..a dramatized version but basically true.
the tv series not so much,its total fiction..
