Pro Football

About This Movie

Pro Football is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the NFL, captured through Ray McCarey's lens. This isn't just your standard sports doc; it’s more like a time capsule showcasing the Chicago Bears from 1933, the champions of that season. The film takes its time, allowing us to appreciate the plays, first at regular speed and then in slow motion, which really lets you soak in the athleticism and strategy. The atmosphere feels raw and authentic, with a hint of nostalgia for a bygone era of sports. What stands out is how the players' performances come to life, not just as athletes but as characters of their time. It’s an interesting slice of football history, a little oddity in the film world, for sure.
