Beckham

I have no interest in football and knew little about David or Victoria Beckham before watching this. I found them to be a much less pretentious couple than I imagined and delightfully well suited and I enjoyed the show. The abuse David suffered was appalling and phenomenal and the British public should be ashamed of this particularly low point in its history as soccer fans. But really, what was Victoria thinking, telling a love-struck and sensitive guy like David that she was pregnant immediately before such a big match. She seemed clueless that what followed could have been prevented had she shown a little kind restraint.

I lived the growing of the figure of David Beckham as a teen. I was only 4 years younger than him. And honestly, on the early days I thought it was only a marketing product. But men, I was wrong.

First, the documentary is pretty well done. It shows the mostly lights possible but also the dark. The darkness David Beckham lived as an iconic ultra mediatic person. What a nightmare.

Second, I like the way Beckham is shown here. Human. Not only the golden balls boy. He mostly accepted all the criticism with a pair of golden balls. That was raw.

Last, I recommend the documentary if you want to know who was the most iconic and mediatic person in football before CR7 - Messi era. Sir David Beckham.

David Beckham's documentary is a testament to his incredible journey in the world of football and beyond. From his early days at Manchester United to his international career with England and his successful stint at various clubs worldwide, the film captures the essence of his sporting prowess. What truly shines, though, is Beckham's humility throughout the documentary.

One cannot help but be moved by his genuine appreciation for the opportunities he's been given and the people who have supported him along the way. Despite his fame and fortune, Beckham remains down-to-earth, grounded in his roots, and grateful for the life he's lived.

Overall, David Beckham's documentary is not just a celebration of his incredible achievements in football but also a testament to his character. His humility, gratitude, and commitment to making the world a better place make him not only a sporting icon but also a role model for aspiring athletes and individuals alike that one must never give up during moments of adversity. England was cruel to him and the media tried to destroy him and his family and they came out on top.

Absolutely beautiful documentary!

The directing in this is so intriguing. Especially the players all watching the game film, us as an audience looking directly into their face while watching. And then the projecting of the film onto their faces. So so cool. This is for everyone it's not just for football teams or Beckham fans. But definitely can real anyone in because of how it tells the story of his background. The amount of people they had come and do interviews was really spectacular. I will definitely be watching more than once. It's easy to binge through or you can spread it out. I would recommend this to anyone. Very worthwhile.

I have absolutely zero interest in football, but I was a kid when Spice Girls rose to fame so obviously I kind of knew who David Beckham was as well since I was such a huge SG fan. When this dropped on Netflix I thought "why not". I found this documentary to be interesting and emotional, and I was not bored for one second. I like that they got so many people talking and sharing stories and perspectives, and the amount of archive footage shown was amazing. Documentary explains in a straightforward and linear way the journey David had, and the immense resilience that he had to keep playing and keep pushing. The friendships, the love, the trials of hardship, the hate, the wins... The documentary is just one big package of it all, and even though he had such great success it's nice to see he still seems very humble and happy.
