I wont get into the politics of this, how much propoganda is thrown into this film, feeding the youth of today stories of how great the United States is compared to the rest of the world. The value of improving the image and revealing to the country the character of St Louis is too important.

I thought this was a movie about soccer, I doubt there is an underlying motive.

Just like Puff the Magic dragon is a song about a dragon.

I know what Puff the Magic Dragon is about Xing. I also know it has nothing to do with "The Game of their Lives". Please elaborate or don't make general statements.

The park is Sublette Park at the corner of Arsenal and Sublette on The Hill. I used to play soccer and baseball there for St. John the Baptist. I'm looking forward to this one!

It's not sublette, it's berra park, or whatever that one is on the Hill, by 44. I could be wrong though, but I don't think so.

It says its a limited release movie and I can't find the movie trailer. I want to see it, since I was one of onlookers during filming two years ago.

The park used for filming was Marquette Park on the City's southeast side. It was chosen for the homes about the park still looking like early postwar America. The crew did use The Hill for exterior shots of shops, filming in the area about St. Ambrose. They did fill in some fake store fronts across from the church. And a casting call for extras was done at Shaw Elementary on The Hill, but I believe that's about as close to Berra or Sublette Park the crew ever got.

Marquette, that's what I couldn't think of.
