Glorious years, success depends on people

The more those who are not optimistic about the people, the more they can achieve the unparalleled things

- "The Imitation Game"

I have always believed that sports films are always positive, always inspiring and sunny. And this "Glorious Years" is more than that, it is simply "fake, big, empty" to bursting with positive energy. There is no dog-blood comeback, nor a shocking reversal, because this is also a biopic based on a true story. Despite this, it is still worthy of the word "legend".

When I saw it, I was full of Eastwood's "It Happened to Me."

The same football, the same black and white racial issues, the same setbacks to win the championship. It's just a sunny youth and a bitter hatred. And I think the name "Glorious Years" is more suitable for "It's a Man".

The two films are also very clear, promoting national unity through football games. However, in terms of technique, coach Boone of "Glorious Years" just got together to recognize his father, cross the Amazon in the middle of the night, and educate himself at the grave. Reminds me of my dear training team captain, hehe!

Let's take a look at Mandela in "It Happens in People". Compared with the coach's iron-fisted policy, Mr. President is a lot gentler. Of course, Eastwood's movies all follow the routine of "moisturizing things in silence". Details are always revealed unknowingly, promoting national unity through sports, no passionate speeches, only romantic poems over and over again, as a spiritual coach to help the team to win spiritually. Mandela, like Bill, the assistant coach of "The Glorious Years", pays attention to the strength of the soft. He is about to enter the Hall of Fame, and he is willing to be an assistant coach. It is also difficult for him to cooperate with the black coach. Thinking that the black brothers around Mandela also cooperated with him and sang red faces, it was also difficult for him.

My favorite is the gang of big boys. Youth films, no cheating, no drug addiction, no one-night stands without condoms. Yes, in the end, it was said to be a free and dissolute youth, God. Yes, I was talking about Trainspotting.

"True temperament" is not doing what you want to do, but doing the right thing at the right time naturally. Black Julie and Bai Gary went from conflict to acceptance to close friend, and Gary kicked the white teammates who didn't work hard from the team. Seeing the big from the small, this is the friendship of the big boys, carefree but touching enough, although the main theme is bursting , but not at all! dog! Blood! Similarly, Matt Damon in "It Happens in People" also acts as a "national conflict adjuster". There are Mandela and fans outside, and his wife and teammates inside. He solved the racial problem in training and on the field, and finally won the World Cup. Win back respect from failure, and gain more respect from respect. Let me close my eyes and my mind is full of the shadow of the national football team~

I really like the attitude of the South African Springboks in "It Happens in People". If they don't have the best technology, they will train like crazy and have the best physical fitness. Dear national football team, how I hope you can enter the extra time with tenacious perseverance and abundant physical fitness, and make a lore with points. But...only the knockout games have extra time, but you're always out of the group. And at the same time as I write here, you draw India 0:0...

In fact, "The Glorious Years" and "It Happened to You" are both very good movies, both the neat script and the spiritual music are very classic. The bluntness of the former and the details of the latter are impeccable, but if I were to ask which one I prefer, I would still choose "It's All About People".

In the end, this is just an essay

    The racial conflict, the ideological conflict, the emotional conflict all melted into the football game, I was in tears.

    The youth, passion and fighting spirit of campus movies cannot be replaced by other genres.

  • Blue Stanton: Coach we need a water break, we been out here all day!

    Coach Boone: What did you say?

    Blue Stanton: Said, we need a water break.

    Coach Boone: A water break? Water is for cowards. Water makes you weak. Water is for washing blood off that uniform and you don't get no blood on my uniform, boy you must be outside your mind! We are going to do up-downs, until Blue is no longer tired, and thirsty.
