''Montevideo, God Bless You!'' ((セルビア語:Монтевидео, Бог те видео, ''Montevideo, Bog te video''); internationally titled ''Montevideo, Taste of a Dream'') is a 2010 Serbian film directed by Dragan Bjelogrlić about the events leading to the participation of the Yugoslavia national football team at the first FIFA World Cup in Montevideo, Uruguay in July 1930. The film gained considerable media attention throughout 2010 and achieved significant box office success in Serbia since its release on December 21, 2010.〔(''Blic Online'', January 10, 2011 )〕 The entire project has been hugely successful regionally thus far. More than 520,000 people in Serbia saw the first film, which won numerous awards.〔http://www.blic.rs/Zabava/Vesti/236307/Film-Montevideo-videlo-400000-ljudi〕 The story is loosely based on the novel ''Montevideo, Bog te video'' by the prominent Serbian sports journalist Vladimir Stanković. He drew inspiration to write a romanticized depiction of the late 1920s Serbia and the events that popularized the game of football in the country after having watched the American film ''The Game of Their Lives''. The film was awarded the 'Audience Choice Award'〔http://www.moscowfilmfestival.ru/miff33/eng/news/?id=334〕 for Best Film in the main competition program at the 33rd Moscow International Film Festival. It was also Serbia's official submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Serbia submits their popular 'Montevideo Bog te video' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=63 Countries Vie for 2011 Foreign Language Film Oscar )〕 but did not make the final shortlist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=9 Foreign Language Films Vie for Oscar )〕 ==Plot== Belgrade, Serbian and Yugoslav capital, circa 1930. The story follows eleven passionate, mostly anonymous but very talented soccer players and their journey from the cobblestone streets of impoverished Belgrade neighborhoods to the formation of the national team before the very first World Cup in faraway Uruguay. So far away that the country's capital, Montevideo, seems more a distant dream than a familiar reality. Named after the city where the inaugural World Cup was held, director Dragan Bjelogrlić's adaptation of journalist Vladimir Stanković's best-selling book centers on the relationship between the two top players: natural talent and poor boy Tirke (Miloš Biković) and playboy superstar Moša (Petar Strugar). The two young men eventually become friends when they're thrown together on the front line of the dominant local team, Beogradski sport klub - BSK (BSK Belgrade). As the club hierarchy is faced with the challenge of keeping the squad afloat, the opportunity arises to create a national team. However, team unity is strained when Tirke and Moša clash over beautiful women. Rosa (Danina Jeftić), the voluptuous, small-town innocent who adores Tirke, but her soccer-mad uncle conspires to set her up with Moša; and vampish Valeria (Nina Janković), a free-spirited bohemian who seduces Moša and finds much fun in pitting him against Tirke. The initial doubt that surrounded their personal and professional lives is transformed into a shared ambition to prove themselves in Montevideo; as a result, a story about friendship, enthusiasm, persistence and love for the game is unraveled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montevideo, God Bless You!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
