    great watch

    This documentary is a great introduction into the minds of legends that assembled into a team that is considered the best in the sports long history. It showes you that football is more than just a sport with the good and the bad sides. I really feel sorry for the new generation that never got to experience the real football culture, cards, stickers, the good fifas, pes, classic compilation videos, world cup songs, nike and other ads, the pepsi vivehoy challenge, prime football youtube, when colorful shoes, balls, creative hair styles and dance movies shock up the sport, seeing the absolute 2 greatest players of all time go band for band every other day, and i could go on and on. Visca el barca i visca catalunya.

    La Absoluta

    An entertaining documentary that features revealing images that help establish a formidable connection. It has solid arguments and a crucial perspective on the Spanish national team.

    "La Absoluta" is a remarkable proposal for football fans due to the window it opens to discover various details that go unnoticed, with the aim of reflecting feelings, thoughts, comments on the matter, and the emergence of a team that marked a before and after. It is a documentary that stands out from others due to the level of filming and perspective implemented to objectively accompany each step of this group of players.

    Everything seen on screen contains a fairly solid foundation, is coherent, and addresses different ways of thinking to establish a quick connection with the viewers. Without failing to mention the addition of each of the elite players who were part of the team, which from my perspective is a crucial point for having a productive experience.

    The filming by director Jorge Laplace seems like good work to me, that way of focusing on faces, applying zoom-outs, the environments, and everything that entails this aspect is (though simple) well implemented, which significantly complements the balance of the plot. On the other hand, the documentary has good cinematography, editing, montage, staging, and sound; I believe these are well-executed points.

    Seeing players of such talent on screen is something else; it's incredible how each of them has a different aura and what they generate in the audience that loves true football. Moreover, knowing the circumstances of each and how they faced situations both in controversy and in victories. At this point, I think it's the most remarkable aspect of the documentary because it sets a scene of dissatisfaction, loss, bad comments, among others, and after that, how the rise of a team that implemented a radical change in this sport is built.

    "La Absoluta" is the reflection of training, effort, dedication, taking risks, new opportunities, emergence, and the desire to move forward. It is a clear example that with determination and clear motivations, you can achieve goals you never thot you could reach. This documentary is incredibly interesting because of its premise of leadership, control, unity, teamwork, and overcoming challenges. In addition to that, it reflects all the rise that the press, the media, and social impact have. Brilliant.

    I liked that all the impact of being a player for both Barcelona and Real Madrid is taken into consideration, and I emphasize the people who could see the emergence of conflict during those times. Here, a context is explained that can divide opinions, but nevertheless, it makes sense depending even on your experience watching these players in their time.

    In summary, it is an entertaining documentary, it has certain surprises, and it is a refreshing reminder of the significant impact the Spanish national team left on world football. What a golden era.
