What Friday Night Lights Is About
A high school football team in a small Texas town starts its season. For the rest of the town, nothing else is happening. The film does not build towards triumph. It looks for the real pressure in the stands rather than on the field: what is loaded onto seventeen year olds, how fast an injured player stops mattering, fathers making sons pay for their own past. It follows Buzz Bissinger's book about the 1988 season. Peter Berg shot handheld and staged the games like documentary. Who it's for: those who like films that use sport to draw a town. Newcomers to American football are fine; the film is about the pressure, not the rules.
