Product Description
A rousing feature film that chronicles the unique relationship between the team and its fans, STILL, WE BELIEVE: THE BOSTON RED SOX MOVIE is set against the backdrop of the extraordinary? and extraordinarily suspenseful? 2003 baseball season. Benefiting from unprecedented access to the ballpark, clubhouse, and front office, the film covers last year's journey from Spring Training to the epic and climactic encounter with the New York Yankees in the ALCS . While containing privileged and extremely candid footage from the perspective of the team, it also narrates the amazing highs and lows from the point of view of eight representative but vastly different fans, all of whom share one thing: a passion for the Red Sox.

This documentary has the drama and comedy of any Oscar-winning fiction. I never could have withstood the trauma of watching this film if we hadn't won within my lifetime. BTW, if you're a fan of Manny (and I am), he's a featured player.

For Red Sox fans, 2003 was the year that we finally understood that our world is an evil place.
It was the anteroom to 2004's glory. It was purgatory, a furnace of affliction. It was the sum of all our fears. For a moment, when we could not summon the strength to look away from the horror, it seemed that we had descended to hell. Momentarily, Dante was a sportswriter for the Globe, all was darkness, and the unbearable screaming just wouldn't stop.
STILL WE BELIEVE follows an endearing coterie of fans through the season of our hopes, one that would end in venerable BoSox fashion by a spectacular sequence of crashing and burning. Grady Little would be exiled to North Carolina, his given name rarely pronounced in New England after his American League Championship Series decision to allow a stubborn Petey to stay on the mound when his arm clearly needed a shower. Dan Shaughnessy would memorably label him 'He Who Shall Not Be Named', a verbal refusal to acknowledge the hapless tool of Satan that he became on that terrible night in the Bronx.
It's odd to watch this move again after the Exorcism of 2004, when Evil unexpectedly ambushed those Yankees, the planets shifted in their orbits, and Red Sox Nation had to adjust to the psychological impossibility that we had won it all.
One senses the eventual redemption of these hapless 2003 fans, a bright light on the horizon that they themselves could not yet see.
We did win it all. Life is worth living.
2003, like 1978 and 1986, became one more mile in the Forced March that led us to Paradise.
No-mah, now a Dodger, still rocks.
Enough said. Let's not think about 2003 any more.
Makes You Feel at Home March 26, 2005

This movie is 100% Red Sox, which all their characters except Jim Connors lives right outside of Boston. Living two states away from New England and being a die -hard Red Sox fan stinks. The fans in the movie make me feel right at home and I forget I'm not in New England.
This movie is also good because it portrays Nomar Garciaparra as the player he is. This past season has made everyone forget how good, talented, and nice the man is. One of the charcters, Jessemy Finet talks about Nomar and then Nomar talks about how wonderful, Boston and the Red Sox are. It signify's him the the fan favorite: not Pedro, Manny, Tek, Damon, or Lowe;just Nomar.
While the movie just isn't the same now that they won, it's still my favorite. Can't wait for the sequel this year!
AWESOME!! December 19, 2004

This movie is awesome!! I love it and it is a must have for any Sox fan. It's about the ups and downs that we Sox fans go through during every season. The only thing bad about it was how the 2003 season ended, but luckily none of that matters now!! GO SOX!!
 If you're a diehard Sox fan, you've seen this already December 16, 2004

I was excited to get my hands on everything Red Sox-related after they finally won the World Series. I couldn't get enough, especially all the DVD's available. I was very pleased with all my purchases except this one. I didn't like it because most of the film is based on a handful of fans' perspectives of the team, and covers very little of the team itself. I don't care about John Q. Fan. I care about Trot, Tek, D-Lowe, Petey, Wake, Man-Ram, JD and Big Papi. If you're a diehard fan, you know people like these fans and you don't need to pony up the cash to see them celebrate Sox wins and moan after Sox defeats. I think the concept of this film was to show outsiders, non-Red Sox fans, the passion and intensity that we have for our team. It definitely gets that point across and serves its purpose. But, in reality, only a Red Sox fan would buy this film. Why buy something to get these other people's reactions to the bigger events of the 2003 season? Why not just remember your reactions and those of fellow Red Sox fans that you know? I was disappointed with this purchase and this DVD will gather dust on my shelf. Will I ever use it as a vehicle to show a non-Red Sox fan the level of passion and intensity? No. It won't work. I tried. It results in boredom. They don't get it. There's only one way to do that -- take them to Cask'N Flagon and Fenway Park. A DVD about a handful of Sox fans does our passion and intensity no justice. I prefer remembering 2003 and 2004 for the players on the field. If I want to REALLY connect with a film, I want to see a throng of faceless fans erupt when Trot hits the bomb in Game 3 of the ALDS and recall that memory. I don't want to watch Angry Bill sit in his chair and comment on it. Snore. Do yourself a favor and go buy 1). Faith Rewarded, 2)The 2004 World Series and 3) Cowboy Up.
