Ola Bola is a Malaysia film directed by Chiu Keng Guan. It is a sports film which stars JC Chee as Chow Kwok Keong, the captain of the national football team of Malaysia in 1980 and Bront Palarae as Rahman, a would be sports commentator and friend of Chow's.
The film is set in 1980, and it is inspired by the true story of how the Malaysia national football team made it to the 1980 Olympic. It narrates the stories of the players who have to overcome obstacles and personal issues on their way to success. Its highlight is the match between Malaysia and South Korea in which Malaysia wins and qualifies for the 1980 Olympics.
A special feature of the film is the careful attention that was given to detail in order to make the 80s setting look authentic and to help develop the characters' stories. But, most importantly, it is a film which teaches us to never give u. It shows how important it is to put differences aside and work together to achieve a common goal.
I found this film very entertaining. I think it should be seen not only by all sports lovers but also by anyone looking for an inspirational story.
