“AIR”

Neatly all sports movie tell a story about a team or individual working against impossible odd to succeed. They are almost always an underdog yet are triumphant by the climax. “Air”, starring Matt Damon and directed by Ben Affleck, is that kind of movie.

You might think “Air” is about one of the best athlete in the world but that isn’t entirely correct. In fact, except for some archival footage, you never see Jordan in the movie (but you’ll see a tall figure from behind several times tho).

So what’s the movie actually about? It’s about a couple of middle aged White Guys working against impossible odds to sign Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal at Nike. Let that sink in.

Sure Viola Davis is featured in an important supporting role as Jordan’s mother. Chris Tucker has a supporting role as well. In fact both are pretty good. But the bulk of the film focuses on Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Ben Affleck (as Nike founder Phil Knight).

Although the film kept my interests, there’s no suspense to the story telling. And there are time that the screenwriter relied heavily on Wikipedia to flesh out the dialogue (how else would we know that Phil Knight paid someone $35 dollars to design the Nike Logo).

I didn’t realize “Air” will be released on Amazon Prime later, otherwise I would have skipped paying for a ticket.

(The biggest mystery in the films is why Ben Affleck wore such a bad wig playing Phil Knight. What is due to constraints on the movie’s budget? Or a sly commentary about the actual Phil Knight?)

Ben Affleck's "Air" is a movie that trades on the idea that there was a time, believe it or not, when Nike wasn't the totally dominant, world-crushing corporate behemoth we all know today. Once, it was a scrappy, can-do sort of underdog, fighting the good fight for a piece of the market share against the giants of the industry, Converse and Adidas.

Things all changed for the little scrapper in 1984, when, against all odds, they managed to sign a young, up-and-coming rookie named Michael Jordan to an exclusive shoe deal, which ended up becoming possibly the single biggest business decision in the history of retail.

If this sounds like a thin premise for a feature film, you aren't necessarily wrong -- though, for the sneaker-head market, this would be the equivalent of "Ben-Hur." However, this Amazon production, helmed by Ben Affleck and starring his buddy Matt Damon as visionary Sonny Vaccaro, then the head of talent acquisition for Nike's fledgling basketball division, at least seems to understand exactly what it is: an amusing time capsule, steeped in the irony that we all know just how pivotally successful this venture eventually becomes (to this day, the Air Jordan brand, the film claims, is a $4 billion a year business).

I had an aching sense that our time is short, shorter than we ever know, short as a morning run, and I wanted mine to be meaningful. And purposeful. And creative. And important. Above all … different. I wanted to leave a mark on the world.

Sometimes you have to give up. Sometimes knowing when to give up, when to try something else, is genius.

Giving up doesn't mean stopping. Don't ever stop.
