100 METERS
A gifted runner trains a determined but unskilled classmate, unaware he's creating a rival who will challenge him on the track for years to come.
People had great things to say about it but to me it was mostly boring. I didn’t resonate with it. In my eyes any piece of fiction’s top priority is to be entertaining, then you can do your other things, and for this show it’s showing the struggles of athletes and the different people that are in the field. Maybe I wasn’t in the right space for it, maybe I just can’t relate to those guys since I was never really good at anything, maybe Insta reels and YouTube shorts has ruined my brain and I can’t appreciate the slow movies. But I do acknowledge some good things are being said, the rain scene and the final race was very well built up and executed. The lack of music in important scenes does make me really like the movie's direction choice. For those scenes alone I think the show is still good in my eyes. Maybe if I rewatch it when I’m older I’ll appreciate it more.
Might not have been in the right headspace but thought most parts were bit boring but had some really good scenes especially the end
