    The theme of a sports inspirational film based on a funny true story, this prototype character is actually quite boring. If it is not a little bit inferior in innate quality, who would care about a player whose performance is not convincing? Unlike other films of the same theme, the theme of this film is to praise subjective coolness and perseverance.

    There are two inexplicable touches: Eddie did not seize the most crucial opportunity on the European Tour, and stubbornly went to the referee to ask for a re-jump; in the Olympics, Eddie came to the bottom but broke through himself, and was so excited that he twisted at the audience. The eagle dance started. Most of the time we have no control over our destiny, we can only hope for another chance like a foolish child. The audience was driven by Eddie, proving that life will always leave you a candy inadvertently.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Eddie Edwards: [On top of the 70 metre ramp] Could you give me a push please?

    German ski-jumper: A push?

    Eddie Edwards: It's a lot higher than I expected.

  • Eddie Edwards: All right, coach.

    Bronson Peary: I'm not your coach, ok? Seriously, a coach teaches you how to jump properly. I'm just teaching you how to land so I can get you out of my hair as soon as possible. Got it?
