    Basically, a good movie. It doesn't have an inovative technique or something like that, but the screenplay is developed interestingly enough. The title is based in the fact that some misteries of the movie are only discovered when they are analized under a different point of view. That's the case of a letter written in code, that could only be fully understand when read by a soccer fan.
    I usually come to think that some movies are entirely written based on their surprising and sometimes pretensious endings. This, however, is not the case of this movie. In spite of its unexpected ending, the movie is capable of keeping your attention from the beginning. Another interesting characteristic of this film is that the love case isn't located even near to the main narrative, being transported to the corner of it. I believe (and it's just an idea, not a fact) that it was introduced in the story only to reduce the darkness and despair of its end.
    In the matter of the Oscar it received, I can only say it was a really competent job. I don't know if the movie deserved it, because I didn't watch the other ones (I intend to watch The White Ribbon, at least), but it is a pretty good film and I recommend it to someone that has some free time and does not care about reading the subtitles.
