Friday Night Lights (4/10) Movie CLIP - You're Gonna Seriously Fly, Son (2004) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
With Boobie out for the season, Coach Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) has a frank talk with Mike (Lucas Black) about leading the team.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
H.G. Bissinger's best-selling true-life account of a few months in the life of a high-school football team comes to the screen in this adaptation written and directed by Peter Berg. Odessa, TX, is an oil town in the western part of the state that's home to the Permian High School Panthers, the football team with the best winning record in the state. Odessa is a town with more than its share of problems; the decline of the oil business in Texas has set the city's economy into a tailspin, and racial tensions still erupt into violence on occasion. But football is the one thing that brings all the people of Odessa together, and on Friday nights every fall, as many as 20,000 people fill Permian's football stadium to watch Coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) and his boys try to lead the team to victory. As Gaines works to build a winning team in a town where victory is prized above all else, however, his players struggle through the emotional trials common to any teenager and ponder the fact that there is little future in their hometown...and that a championship season can be as much a burden as a triumph. Friday Night Lights also stars Lucas Black, Derek Luke, Jay Hernandez, and country singer-turned-actor Tim McGraw.

“I’m gonna assume that by now you’ve learned that the world’s not fair and sometimes you get the short end and that’s all you get.”

[bozefi]

Favourite scene of the whole movie. No not very flashy, but watching the non prototypical QB rise and grind his way, is inspiring. Fear is a lie. That’s the message I get from it

[lorenp]

Instead he went to Tokyo to live with his dad...

[andrewvasquez]

Kyle Shanahan talking to Brock Purdy after Jimmy went down

[st.christopher]

The thing about this movie that people have to realize is the pressure of Texas high school football is incredible....the coaches at 5A and 6A programs get paid six figures....a lot of the times if the lose 2 games in the same season they get fired....but the performances on the field are by 16 and 17 year old kids. They’re not even adults yet and are put under enormous pressure and expectations to have undefeated seasons every year. This scene displays that very well with Mike breaking down and having a moment, knowing that his performance not only can cost the coach his job but can also be the difference in him making it out of his own living situation. Powerful stuff... Peter Berg made an amazing film.

[sixamsedna]

what a great and brutally honest scene

[littleman]

This is advice for more than just football. Relationships, family, friends. Coaches want the best for you like a father.

[leesmith]

Any young guy, especially at this kid's age and even younger out there who's raised by a single Mom needs to look at this scene over and over and over and over. You're you're Mom's SON, not her Husband. Don't let her hold you back trying to take care of her.

[valencia_xx]

This might be a reach, but Mike holding on to that toy car has gotta be some metaphor of him hanging onto his innocence and home life

[califinn]

Coach Gaines teaching some real lessons here...gets Mike to tell him what's really going through his mind. Great stuff. Coaches and teachers making home visits is such a thing of the past (isn't it?), I remember my baseball coach calling me up at home and we'd talk about my life and ball and what we want to accomplish...nothing makes you feel more secure than knowing you've got a leader/mentor/teacher right there in it with you, willing you to be better. Coach Gaines was a great character, very difficult community to deal with, football-centric, and he honestly just worries about his players, nobody else.

[slimmyhendrix]

Most beautiful movie ever made. Not my favorite, but definitely the most beautiful piece of art ive ever watched this movie is

[wagnerp]

This movie was freaking perfect ! All actors were just phenomenal. And the emotions made you feel like this you are there also feeling the fun, pain and pressure

[firebird_spleen]

Only billy bob could make a conversation so interesting that otherwise this scene would of been dull with anyone else

[kylecominsky]

Gaines metaphorical speech caries a message not just for Mike, but for other characters like Ivy, Don, Comer, Boobie, and Chavo. This speech reminds that life’s just not about football or living up to parents expectations. If they just let go and “fly.”

[chrisstewart]

One of the most powerful scences ive seen in a movie

[thevegangiant]

Just love to teqnique on the shot reverse shot... zoomed in on Mikes eyes really captures the moment

[anarchistatheist]

After watching them first act together in sling blade I was expecting Gary say to Mike "you ain't supposed to talk like that, your just a boy".

[theslinger]

"You're gonna seriously fly son."

[MrBdiddypop]

This scene really moves me. I relate to both characters and the mesage! And great last line.

[TAMR]

One of my favorite scenes in the movie. I can relate a lot to the Mike Winchell character
