Privately-funded sports-themed documentaries are rare in Asia. Taiwan's Attitude, made in 2008 is one of the few.
Attitude followed the basketball team called Taipi (台啤), short for for Taiwan Beer, (team was sponsored by a Taiwanese tobacco and beverages tycoon), a Taiwan Super Basketball League (SBL) member. Threatened to be disbanded over years of losing streak, the team dealt with issues, toughened up with relentless training, went through heartbreak and loss of life and in the end rallied up to exemplary results.
Frankly it is just plain refreshing to watch bunch of Asian guys not poring over math!
The director Leo Liao (廖人帅), an often overly enthusiastic Taiwanese entertainer with hair color loud enough to rival the feather coat of a peacock, was only 24 at the time.
Before "Linsanity", there was Attitude.
Chinese subtitles; Enjoy the movie.
