The first football memory is Torres, I happened to see a Spain game at the World Cup in Germany, and I happened to score a goal in the few minutes I was watching, slid on the turf in a super-dynamic pose, really good. Cute, I discussed it with a group of girls the next day, and I never thought that one day I would actually like football.
Unexpectedly, when I was here watching the World Cup, Spain had become so powerful, climbed to the top of Europe, the biggest favorite to win the World Cup. Unexpectedly, Spain's football blood is so appealing to me, not so much football attracts me, should add a qualifier, Spain Barcelona football attracts me (••• is FANS••• of the universe team to me).
Well•••this movie!
Sports themes are the best platform to express "dream" and "hope" and other youth themes. Just look at how many sports are Japanese manga. In sports, there are the initial dreams, the sweat of unremitting efforts, the first love affair, the friendship between brothers who train together, win, and fail together. Isn't this the most beautiful thing that teenagers think? !
Although the film is huge, it is not uncommon. The main line is still a dream, still about one's own choice, about reality's obstruction, about success. Even if we know how likely it is. But the reality needs such dreamers, won't Messi succeed? And everyone is pampering dreamers, like Jiang Wen. I've made so many movies that didn't sell well, but everyone knows that this kid is talented. Although I don't understand what he's talking about, he's talented. So everyone loves him, so what if he doesn't sell well, he is much stronger than Zhang Yimou. It feels like he saved our dreams.
So no one laughs at Santiago, but truly admires.
Regarding dreams, I think that from the limited movies I have seen, the best one is "Crossing the Girl's Dream" by the director of "Two Little No Guess" (although the name is a bit vulgar), but I think he has seen through the dream. this kind of thing.
So what are the features of this one?
I think it's time to go back to football.
Fans
know the loyalty of British fans, but it really gives goosebumps to reflect in the movie. Everyone in Newcastle loves their team, even the old woman who goes downstairs to buy groceries will spit Gavin's saliva, what a cute scene. And this big star can only swallow his voice, poof~, is it just a normal star and FANS relationship? no! They are supporters and the movie tells you it's not the same!
On important game days, everything is pulled aside, and the taxi driver quits his job and goes to the bar to watch the game. I really can't resist the willfulness of fans like this.
Even the old man in the hospital would say I would be much better if they scored a goal today.
Football Life
is a movie that really hits the spot, very real. About the players, what can you think of is competition, training, sexy girls? This movie tells me "player life". The time a player can play football is actually very short, and playing football makes them a lifetime dream, that is to say, the time for them to realize their dreams is very short, it is very likely that they will be kicked off tomorrow and then GAME OVER can no longer be. again. A player's life is something full of urgency, which is different from ordinary life, but how different is it. Can't we also die at any time? It's just that most people don't think death can happen to me suddenly, and the players feel a sense of urgency.
lure
I once talked to a girl in gym class about the amateur life of players. She said is it all SEX, otherwise what else? Of course I retorted, listing racing cars, bicycles, video games, etc. They are so rich and have a lot of fun things to do. But what she said reminded me that there are so many temptations in a player's life, they can get everything money can buy, they can have sex with any sexy woman (as long as they don't get caught in the tabloids...and best not to Is a friend's wife •••), between dreams and temptations, this movie tells us their choices starkly. It really hurt them.
For small players
, not everyone who plays football can play in the league, and not everyone who plays in the league can be guaranteed to be on the field, and not everyone on the field can become a star. And more children with football dreams, at most, are just a small player, and then retired in decline, secretly watching the stars of the first team in training, and have fantasies in their hearts.
Newcastle's coach in the kid
's movie (the horn is so Wenger-like •••) told Gavin that the kid made a lot of money and was still a kid. Are players really that simple? At least the answer given by this movie is YES!
The gangster-looking engineer in the team who always kicked Santiago, although he did the wrong thing with the protagonist, should not get sympathy, but after Santiago scored for Newcastle, the little brother really showed his true feelings and accepted it immediately. outsider. He also said with a serious face, I am good to you because my sister likes you, but you cannot go up to her. It's not like a kid, it's not that complicated deal, as long as you bring the team to victory, that's my buddy.
Raul Guti's advice on leaving Real Madrid really made me love the sport even more! This kind of loyalty to a team is more stable than the loyalty between husband and wife!
reality
The scene of the movie shooting football is really too real! Fans waving scarves and cheering loudly, the sound of players falling to the ground, and even cameo appearances by Lampard and Gerrard. I never thought how tall these players are before, don't they all come and go in the wind~ But the processing of the pictures in the movie is completely worship! Let me worship them without realizing it! The picture completely captures the feeling of a young player seeing a star. Rad~ You are shining!
It also really shows that there is really a long way to go from a small player to a star, a long way! Even if you train at a training ground, it's really far away!
Gavin, as the representative of the star in the film, is also a person who is not annoying. Although he has a face that is not very good at playing football, he spends every day drinking and drinking, but he is such a good person. Helping Santiago stay on the team, although he was not used to Santiago's lesson, he finally admitted his fault and didn't even take a different chick home at night. Friendship•••
There are very complicated money transactions behind football, and with the deepening of football's commercialization, this kind of business may surpass football itself, and many people have expressed concern. There is also the recent idiot behavior of FIFA, which is heartbreaking.
But this group of kids with dreams and loyal fans really never goes away, and that's enough.
Two jackets, a football, that's all we need.
