Learned a lot
“Under the boardwalk” is a documentary centered around the game of Monopoly and those who keep it alive until today. It deals with the history of the game and its origins as well as with recent interest in the game and especially the participants of games on a tournament basis.As probably most people, I knew Monopoly simply from playing it myself and didn’t gather any further information about the game before giving this film a watch. Thus I could learn quite a bit of new and interesting things about it. I like that the movie tries to cover different aspects of the game. That way you can grasp what makes it so special for some people and it helps to explain how a board game became such an established ingredient of family life all over the world. I have to say that the only thing I found somewhat disturbing was that at times the general tone of the film became a bit too enthusiastic about its topic. While it is just reasonable that some of the excitement many displayed people have for the game is shared through the film, you could at some points think that Monopoly was basically the key piece holding together families and societies. Especially when it comes to explaining why this game is so special, the points mentioned match pretty much every board game published.
Still, this was an interesting movie providing a lot of fun facts and background information without having an earnest topic. Sometimes the cut was a bit questionable but all in all I had fun and for everyone in love with the game, this is quite a good shot at it.
