Gracie is a American sports drama film directed by . Gracie takes place in New JerseyUnited States inbefore 's Title IX had taken much effect in women's college sports [2] My Sister Gracie when organized women's soccer was still very rare in the United States. Gracie, the film's central protagonistovercomes the loss of her brother by convincing her family and school to allow her to play varsity soccer on My Sister Gracie all-boys team. The story is partially based on the childhood experiences of Elisabeth Shuewho was one of the producers in addition to being My Sister Gracie wife of Davis Guggenheim, the director, as well as a cast member. The novelization of Graciewritten by Suzanne Weynwas released in June In the yearGracie Bowen, a year-old tomboy who lives in South Orange, New Jerseyis crazy about socceras are her three brothers and their former soccer star father. Although Gracie wants to join her brothers and neighbor Kyle in the nightly practices her father runs, she is discouraged by everyone except her older brother, Johnny. Johnny, Gracie and Kyle attend Columbia High Schoolwhere Johnny is the captain My Sister Gracie star player for the varsity soccer team. After missing a shot at the end of a game, the My Sister Gracie Johnny drives off with a friend's car and dies in a traffic accident. Struggling with grief, Gracie decides that she wants to replace her brother on the team. Her father does not believe that girls should play soccer, telling her she is neither tough nor talented enough. Her mother is a nurse who lacks the competitive drive of the rest of her family and fears for Gracie's safety. Her mother later tells Gracie that she would have liked to become a surgeonbut that option had not been available to her as a woman. Rejected and depressed, Gracie begins to rebel; she stops doing her schoolwork, is caught cheating on an exam, and experiments with wild and self-destructive behavior. She is finally caught by her father almost having sex with a guy she met near the docks after telling her friend, "I want to do something that I've never done before. He quits his job My Sister Gracie work with her on her soccer training. When the school board rejects her request to play boys' soccer, Gracie files an appeal. Citing the newly passed Title IXGracie argues that since a girls' soccer team does not exist, she should be allowed to play on the boys' varsity soccer team. The school board allows her to try out for the team. My Sister Gracie a very rough tryout, she makes the junior varsity My Sister Gracie and has to decide if she is willing to settle for playing at that level. She decides to make the most of playing on junior varsity. One of the coaches asks her to come up to the main team for their championship game. After saying no at first she finally goes. Gracie watches from the bench as the game goes to sudden death overtime. New captain Kyle gets hurt and Gracie goes in for him, scoring the winning goal with a move that her dad taught her. The premise of the film rests upon the conflicting expectations of two different American generations. As Gracie's parents were most likely both products of what is now referred to as the " Silent Generation " of children born during the Great Depression and World War IIthey would have been raised to adhere to traditional gender roles. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, critic for the Atlanta Journal-Constitutionnoted an additional generation gap between those in the film and those in the audience, many of whom grew up with the United States women's national soccer team which played its first game in as a reality:. Not so long ago —actually — girls were not treated equally with boys when it came to school sports But think of it this way: Infuture gold medalist and World Cup star Mia Hamm was only 6 years old. Other critics have also noted the multiple generation gaps. Kevin Cahillane observes in that, "this being before Title IX turned a generation of girls from onlookers into athletesher desire goes against the wishes of the coach, the principal, the My Sister Gracie players and her heartbroken parents. When tragedy strikes, and Grace channels her grief into a resolution to play on the all-male varsity My Sister Gracie, even her best friend is horrified. As everyone knows, only lesbians play soccer. Since the U. Women's National team has won Soccer's World Championships four times. The film is loosely based on life events concerning the Shue family. Former star Andrew Shuewho developed the film, was one of its producers, and acted a supporting role in the film, initially conceived of it as a story about his late brother William, the oldest Shue sibling, who was the captain My Sister Gracie the Columbia High School soccer team that won the state championship in ; he had died in an accident in She became the model for Gracie, and William became the model for Johnny. As noted in an interview:. It was going to be about my older brother, originally. It was really Davis, my sister's husband, who pointed out to me that my sister was the real underdog in our family. I didn't know the emotional turmoil of a girl in an all-boys family trying to get some credit for the fact that she had this courage to play with boys. She has gone from being a girl who was scared, to being this brave girl who could stand up and play with My Sister Gracie, and [went] into acting before any of us and inspired all of us in many My Sister Gracie. So I wanted to celebrate her and her journey. This refers to 's own decision inat the age of nine, to play soccer on My Sister Gracie all-boys team, making her the first girl My Sister Gracie the South Orange and Maplewood areas of New Jersey to do so. Of her decision to leave the team, Shue stated, "the movie is really what would have happened if I hadn't quit [playing soccer]. I quit because of what people would think of me. The pressure from the boys. The awkward development of my body. I really, really regret it. I wish I'd been brave enough. Andrew, Elizabeth, their brother John who was also a producer on the filmand Guggenheim then engaged in an extensive search to find the right actress for the role of fifteen-year-old Gracie; they promoted the search on the website findinggracie. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat argue that Schroeder "puts My Sister Gracie a stellar performance as the teenager who becomes a warrior My Sister Gracie most of her peers are cheering from the sidelines. Filming took partial place at Columbia High Schoolboth the setting of the events of the film and the actual high school the Shue family members had attended. Andrew Shue chose to honor his former Dartmouth My Sister Gracie Columbia High School teammate Chris Colasanti by naming the story's My Sister Gracie after him. Colasanti, who had been the captain of Columbia's state championship team, was killed My Sister Gracie the September 11, attack on the World Trade Center. Times critic Jeannette Catsoulis described Gracie as "a familiar underdog story told with unusual sensitivity Gracie connects the adversity-drama dots — the beat-down, the bounce-back, the last-minute support from an unexpected quarter — with a subtle awareness of the shock waves of bereavement. Balancing the emotional complexity is Chris Manley's refreshingly unaffected cinematography; the drama of a free kick, like that of a good movie, is best viewed through a steady lens. It's a solid, hopeful and inspiring story that reminds us of what we might call 'old-fashioned' values about perseverance and making your dreams come true. Not at all. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly argued that "inMy Sister Gracie high school girl playing competitive soccer wasn't just novel — it was barely heard of. This amiable rouser, based on the experiences of Elisabeth Shue and her family, tries to convey how gutsy and role-smashing it is for Gracie to cleat her way onto an all-boys soccer team. So why is Gracie as processed as an after-school special? You miss the knockabout edge of Bend It Like Beckham — though the ending, in its Pavlovian sports-flick way, pumps you up. Club suggested that "though Gracie fashions Shue's story into ready-made inspirational formula, it's nonetheless vivid in its particulars, My Sister Gracie the looks and sounds of late-'70s New Jersey to the portrait of a soccer-driven family reformed by loss.
