>>29745448The movie is slightly reminiscent, although only in the most absolutely base of ways, to the opening of Forrest Gump
A lad too dumb for his own good gets a chance with sports, although instead of going off to 'Nam you get a movie about him bumbling his way in college while harnessing the power of his 'tard rage to make it on the field
After being put down his whole life and kicked into the dirt being told he's only worth that dirt, he gets a chance with a podunk team with a schizo coach that sees he's got some potential for the game and proceeds to make something of himself and build up a sense of self-worth and pride
