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!

From the outside David Beckham may seem like a talented sportsman who shot to fame with good looks and famous wife. This is the story of a young boy who was dedicated to football and through his dedication and practice supported by loving parents achieved what others can only dream of.

I grew up with David on my TV screen and Victoria on my cassette player but this tells the story of a man out for perfection, approval and happiness at all costs. It shows the hurdles you need to overcome to be the best. After watching I have new found respect for Victoria and can sympathise with her as she sees the boy she loves grow to a man who had something to prove. After watching I genuinely think he wouldn't be half the man he is today with such a glittering career nor have such a loving family if she hadn't stuck by him and supported his decisions. Its a story about him but ultimately about how he was made by a loving mother, compulsive father and accommodating wife. The talent was there but the people in his life enabled it. Really enjoyed, especially the small parts with his kids and him at home. Would like to see a Spice Girls documentary next.

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.
