As if 100 years wasn’t enough pressure
So in the midst of this being the 100 year anniversary of the Cubs sucking, documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld thought it would be a good idea to follow the Cubs for the 2008 season in “hope” that they win the World Series and he has a great movie. The piece is called “We Believe”.
“It’s not a history of the Cubs,” Scheinfeld said Tuesday. “What we’re doing is a film exploring the love affair between the great city, Chicago, and it’s ball team, the Cubs — what makes Chicago unique, the city, and what makes the people of Chicago unique and why they have supported this team so passionately for so long. We’ll get into the psychology of that, the history of that.
“My challenge as a filmmaker is to find the right balance between Chicago and the Cubs.”
You are going to be following this team for many more years to come if you are waiting for that championship. Oh it is going to be a fun year indeed!
