From the studio that brought you THE ROOKIE and REMEMBER THE TITANS comes the movie everybody loves — MIRACLE. Filled with exhilarating nonstop hockey action and heart-racing suspense, it’s the inspiring true story behind one of the greatest moments in sports history — the 1980 United States ice hockey team’s triumphant Olympic victory against the Soviet Union. Kurt Russell gives a brilliant performance as the dynamic and determined coach Herb Brooks, who had an impossible dream — beat the seemingly unbeatable Soviets at their own game. Starting with a handpicked group of 26 undisciplined kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned 20 of them into a team that believed they could achieve the unachievable — and in the process, united a nation with a new feeling of hope.

5 Stars Rousing, ‘come from behind” hockey movie
I am not a sports fan. Period. I’ll watch the occasional few minutes of Michael Jordan in a tense playoff or a fantastically close Super Bowl on occasion, but beyond that, I have no interest.
I do find few movies about the fanatics who drives themselves to excel interesting or the fanatics who drive people to excel, to go far beyond what they themselves thought possible.
That’s what “Miracle” is all about, a coach named Herb Brooks who drove a group of mostly collegiate hocky players to fuse into an Olympics winning team, trumping the Soviets, who had won four consecutive championships.
Kurt Russell plays Herb Brooks. What we see is a narrow, driven man who has only one goal: to produce an Olympics winning hockey team through his coaching. And Russell conveys that image beautifully, leaving us with an impressiona of a guy we probably wouldn’t want to spend any time with (and, likewise, we would be of no interest to him) who ignored his family and browbeat 20 some kids into submission until they became a functioning team.
It’s a great movie about a coach. The players, as they were in the real incident, were submerged to the coach’s will and ego. The hockey scenes are exciting. I don’t know enough about hockey to comment on their authenticity and, frankly, I don’t care.
In the end, it is the story of a driven, selfish man demanding that his recruits obey his every order and become, to a large extent, automatons until they fuse into a single whole, a team. Look closely and you will see the techniques of every successful army since the beginning of time: slavish obediance while preserving the capability to make individual decisions. It worked for Alexander the Great, Julius Ceasar, George Patton and Herb Brooks, when he applied it to hockey.
A lot of the film centers on rah-rah American patriotism which needed a boost after feckless Presidency of Jimmy Carter who cancelled American participation in the 1980 Summer Olympics to “protest” the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It is a nice feeling to see the United States portrayed positively in a Hollywood movie, for a change.
Overall, “Miracle” is an entertaining movie about an eccentric coach, the team he built and the results they acheived. Best of all, it’s a true story.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT REMINDS US ALL HOW GREAT THE REAL AMERICAN SPIRIT CAN BE, EVEN AGAINST ALL ODDS!!!!!!!!!!
4 Stars Very Realistic Hockey Scenes Help Make This A Winner
This was a pretty nice movie overall. I appreciated the realistic hockey scenes and the inspiring true-life story of an amazing underdog sports team pulling off the “miracle.” That, of course, was the 1980 United States Olympic hockey team winning the gold medal and along the way becoming the first team in 20 years to defeat the Soviets.
The story also is about Herb Brooks, the coach of the team. Everything in here centers around him. Kurt Russell does a nice job playing him, although I don’t understand the Polish accent Russell used. Why would Brooks have a Polish accent?
Over the years, sports movies - as in other genres - are becoming more and more realistic. This was about as good as it gets in that regard. A number of the actors are players, meaning they know how to skate. A documentary with the DVD shows the great lengths they went to in filming this in order make the action look realistic. It’s not fake; these guys know how to play the game and the camera-work, along with the sound, is outstanding.
The only part of the film that was totally unnecessary was the typical cheap shots against Republican Presidents while airing an inspirational speech by Democrat Jimmy Carter. Even if a hockey film, Disney Liberals just have to be in the viewers face with political bias. Too bad because otherwise it’s a good sports movie that even non-hockey fans should enjoy.
5 Stars It Really Was A “Miracle”
What an amazing journey this team had. Herb Brooks is one of the greatest people who ever lived, not to mention an incredible hockey coach! This movie was such a fine recollection of the team, the work they did and the sheer glee that was felt nationwide when the did the impossible…great story, great movie.

Law Of Attraction Practice

Mastering the Law of Attraction takes a little practice, since our habit is to talk about, tell others about and focus on what we did not like. This is how you practice the Secret -
For example, you may see yourself as Michael Jordan (for basketball), Mariah Carey (for singing), or Heide Klum (for modeling). Feel, talk, and act as if you’re that person you’re emulating. You’ll quickly acquire the behavior and qualities of that person. This formula works like a charm, so just give it a try. The Law of Attraction is probably a revolutionary concept for you (at least it was for me).
The Law of Attraction - in its simplest form - states that “like attracts like”. Whatever you focus on the most is what will be most attracted to your life. At first glance, that would seem to state that since we all think about being healthy, rich, and having fulfilling lives, that we should all be living happily ever after, right? To many, the Law of Attraction may seem way too simple to be true. I appreciate that it is hard for us to believe that just by thinking about having a new car that we will get one. Like many, I couldn’t grasp the fact that by just thinking about getting promoted at work that it will happen. Most people refuse to believe that by feeling positive about their life, that their fulfilling life will come to pass.
Law of Attraction is about using creative visualization. Creative visualization is the technique of using our imagination to create more of what we want in life. Abraham-Hicks says that if we could begin to feel appreciation for the fact that desire exists and anticipation about its unfolding, rather than disappointment that it has not manifested, our energy would clear up by 95% and our manifestations would begin to flow to us so much more easily.

The law of attraction works and it can make things a lot easier for you but, you have to know how the real law of attraction works and what you should do. You might want to see what people who already have achieved what you want to and see what got them there, and then learn from them. In Neuro-linguistic-programming term, it is called “modeling”.
When people moan about not having any success with the Law of Attraction, most likely that they start the process missing a crucial step so they never realize their dreams. Have you heard others said that “But I don’t want to learn to be happy with what I have; I want to have what I want!” In fact that is not happiness; it is simply their ego grasping for gratification and temporary satisfaction.
The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers — men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible. Anyone is encouraged to use the Law of Attraction but how many who is reading this will actually go and use it?
Looking back at the past decade of business ventures, there are several philosophies that have greatly contributed to my success over the years.

The Law of Attraction states that similar things attract to one another, thus, the saying “birds of a feather flock together.” This is how you practice the Secret -

The Law of Attraction can you bring you wealth and prosperity you may have only dreamed of.

One of the reasons that the Law of Attraction does not work for them because, after spending decades of our lives being taught to “work hard for what we want”, we can’t bring ourselves to believe that anything less than hard work will bring those things into our lives. Anything that you believe is impossible will become impossible. If you believe that it’s not possible to get that car, that promotion, or that fulfilling life, guess what you are attracting with the Universal Law of Attraction? That’s right - NOT having those things!
I truly believe that everything works towards our highest good, we just need to trust the Universal Laws working through us and use our experiences to expand our consciousness. We can use the Law of Attraction to make the world a more joyful and loving place! One of the best ways to do self-suggesstion is to visualize affirmatively what we desire as if it is already in our experience, and to give thanks in advance, knowing that what we need and desire is available to us.
You have to really get a deep and profound understanding of the law of attraction and this takes time. But keep at it! Now you have know about the Law of Attraction how can you apply these principles in your own life and situation?
Do you know about the truth of the Law of Attraction? Have you heard others said that “But I don’t want to learn to be happy with what I have; I want to have what I want!” In fact that is not happiness; it is simply their ego grasping for gratification and temporary satisfaction.
