Last night, Maru and I watched the recently released movie, Air, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon—that famous pair originating in Good Will Hunting.
It’s the story of how Nike won their sponsorship deal with Michael Jordan. Although it sounds like a bland story on the surface—a tale about a shoe deal—it’s filled with greater characters, like Viola Davis playing Jordan’s mother, as well as fascinating insights into what Nike was like before it become the global behemoth we know it to be today.
It’s also a massive feel-good film. It’s one of those stories where you know the ending already, but you’re enjoying the journey for all its twists, turns, and bumps along the way.
