The article discusses a documentary about Thomas Müller's career, tracing his journey from humble beginnings to a prominent footballer. The author expresses excitement over this project, noting its impacts on their personal development and how Müller’s ethos of perseverance resonates deeply. The documentary creatively combines animated trading cards with historical footage, presenting a dynamic narrative. Despite its appeal to Müller fans, the stylistic choices evoke Indian commercial cinema, blending entertainment with sport, which may polarize general audiences.
Being a prominent Müller Mafia member, the news of this documentary was music to my ears. Thomas has been an extremely prominent figure in my development as a person.
The documentary runs in parallels, switching between the past and the present but is clear enough with each switch since there are title cards showing the particulars of each incident.
As a South Indian with a passion for movies, I am heavily influenced by the film culture here with the larger-than-life portrayals of heroism, blunt hero worship, mass dialogues, and the deafening hooting.
The introductory scenes feel more like Indian commercial cinema, and not much like a grounded football documentary. The Müller Mafia will certainly enjoy this aspect.
