EARLY ACCESS: Air FULL REACTION (Patreon)
Content
In "Air," set in the year 1984, we are transported to a time when Nike's basketball division is struggling to make a mark within the running shoe company and in the competitive sports market. This film brilliantly captures the essence of an underdog story, fueled by determination, dreams, and a relentless spirit.
At the center of the narrative is Vaccaro, portrayed with conviction by (Matt Damon), who passionately believes that basketball superstar Jordan can transform Nike's fortunes. Throughout the film, Vaccaro persuades key individuals, including marketing director Rob Strasser (Jason Bateman) and former player-turned-executive Howard White (Chris Tucker), about Jordan's potential. Notably, Chris Messina delivers a standout performance as Jordan's charismatic agent, David Falk, infusing the movie with a captivating energy during a profanity-laden telephone outburst. Viola Davis, portraying Jordan's proud and protective mother Deloris, brings depth and wisdom to the story. Ben Affleck and Marlon Wayans deliver great performances as well. Honestly, all the actors did amazing and shout out to the crew too!
Occasionally, "Air" relies heavily on nostalgia, utilizing an abundance of needle drops and pop culture references to evoke the era. The extensive opening montage featuring Cabbage Patch Kids, Hulk Hogan, 80's music and more sets the nostalgic tone. Transition scenes featuring a Rubik's Cube or Trivial Pursuit cards contribute to the '80s atmosphere. The film maintains a smooth and reliable flow reminiscent of one of Jordan's iconic buzzer-beating, fadeaway jumpers.
