Four stars. A standard biographical film that brings a character like Eddie the Eagle to life as he pursues his dreams.

The protagonist Eddie wants to participate in the Olympic Games, but his stubborn father thinks that he is not the material, so he has been obstructing it in every possible way. But the persistent Eddie did not give up. Through his unremitting efforts and expert guidance, he finally got the admission ticket to the Winter Olympics. Although Eddie finished last in the Winter Olympics, it did not prevent him from becoming a legend, as he was the first British high-level skier to qualify for the Olympics. The film also promotes the theme of the Olympic Games, "The important thing in Olympic games is not the winning but the taking part. The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle." The dialogue in the elevator, "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, those laity people will worry about it; for people like you and me, skiing is to release the soul."

In the end, both lead roles are well-acted, and Ace and Wolverine are still on the line when they play ordinary people.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Bronson Peary: [showing Eddie the models of the different ramps] I felll in love with this sport, man. It started with this little baby. This 15 metre little vixen. You manage to land that because it's meant to hook you into the sport, right, so otherwise you wouldn't even bother trying. The 40 meter, when you stack you get bruised, which I don't have to explain to *you*.

    Eddie Edwards: [chuckles] Sorry.

    Bronson Peary: The 70 metre, you break bones and you're lucky if you can walk again. The 90 metre. The goddess. Let's just say in the Wild West we'd be measuring you for your coffin before you even reach the stairs. Never forget that, kid.

  • 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.
