Beautiful editing / style
I was sad to see Ebert and others criticized the editing in this film. It was so unique and different that it really made an impression in me.
The scene where Willie and coach and talking at Pacino's house. Random shots of clouds edited in Over the scene. Strangely appropriate.
The scene where the maid closes the blinds when Pacino is talking to Ann margaret
The inserting of old football footage / pics.
It all just flows seamlessly. Bravo to Stone.
