It's interesting that the film explores the world championship tournament of Monopoly, but also, the way the game is cherished and how seriously it is taken online. I believe pop culture author Tim Walsh said it best even if you were a kid, playing Monopoly, you were treated like an adult. You've embedded yourself in the life of a businessman for a short time and you must follow through and abide by the rules like one. When playing the game, you're striking deals, negotiating profits, and trying to keep your head above water so you can live to roll the dice again. One commenter states he feels that the reason Monopoly is so loved and cherished is because of not what's happening on the board game, but what is happening around the board game. The way the picture balances out discussing the games history, its overwhelming fanbase, and its place in history for being one of the most innovative games ever made is astonishing. Champion, Ken Koury, 2003 runner-up, Dale Crabtree, who tied for 11th place in the online Monopoly tournament and was fortunate enough to get one of the last six spots to compete with the champions, and Rick Marianccio, another man competing in the same tournament who wants to use the money he wins for a wedding. Among the other men are Matt McNally, the 2003 U.S. Vandenberg states that one would assume the kids were just goofing around, not taking the game and its benefits seriously, but their words would soon be eaten after showing that the kids who participated in the Monopoly activity at school performed more efficiently on standardized testing than those who didn't. Tim Vandenberg teaches Math using Monopoly as a trick to show students how to balance finances, purchase properties, and other real-world skills. Domenic Murgo was the 1995 Rhode Island state champion of the board game. We meet six different men who have all been impacted by the game, whether or not winning one of the many Monopoly game tournaments (yes, there is such a thing) or just using the game's diverse benefits to help people in a way few would've ever thought. The documentary begins on the right foot, showcasing Monopoly's popularity with not only kids, but long-devoted adults who find the game to be simply enticing and exciting. Needless to say, it was one of the happiest, warmest memories of my childhood.
We would either play that or Mille Bornes before she'd go on her way with cooking dinner. One of my earliest memories with the iconic board game is playing at the dinner table with my grandmother in the afternoon. Under the Boardwalk: The Monopoly Story is a spectacular documentary, tracing the famous board game back to its creation and shows how it almost instantaneously became a recognizable, cultural phenomenon.
