A story that changed fate

It seems that successful people have certain characteristics. As far as Fiona is concerned, she has the backbone, is unwilling to be ordinary, persists in hard work, believes in herself, and constantly breaks through the thinking mode. Fate gave her a poor background, and she used practical actions to show that fate can be changed.

The role of the coach in the film is very big, and he exists almost in a perfect image. That's what this type of movie is all about. Always give the protagonist a full sense of justice. He gave Fiona a full range of coaching, not only in chess, but also in life and psychology. In turn, think about whether there are such people in real life? There is a small part of the video that touched me a lot.

In Africa, where there is little rain, it suddenly rained heavily and flooded. Fiona's 4-year-old brother was almost washed away by the flood, and her sister who had an abortion with the gangster still didn't learn her lesson. The flood washed away everything, and the family was in a trance. homeless. Confused, she ran to the coach and said: Coach, you told me to plan ahead. But without a roof, how do I prepare? Without a wall, the flood doesn't care what my plans are, it washes away everything. Can you tell me how to play this chess? Soon men will come to haunt me, where is my safe space?

A few short sentences express the core problem of the whole film, when everything in life is not going well, as if fate should be so. what should we do? The people in the slums live a life of family members, do they still have hope? Thousands of girls go astray, who else can save them?

These questions in the film use the coach's own experience to tell us the answer: we create our own path, and we can change our destiny by ourselves.

The chicken soup-style answer is worth pondering, is it really so? How much of what is right and wrong in life can we control? How many people in the growth stage can give accurate teaching about right and wrong?

In fact, watching this kind of inspirational movie is easy to feel single, not rich enough, and not attractive. But watching "Queen of Cards" has no such concerns at all. Because of the richness of its characters.

For example, their eldest sister, although young and beautiful, lacks accurate judgment, is short-sighted, and follows a small gangster. Only got the money and scenery in front of me. In the end, tragedies like abandonment and abortion await. In order to improve the drama, no wonder the actor of the big sister kneels to the prototype at the end of the film? Hehe...

Fiona's mother is the most eye-catching in the film. One word summary is HOT! She has a hot body, is unforgiving and cares about others. However, he always protects his children. Although life is hard, he does not give himself to men to share the hardships of life. Show her greatness.

The place where the story takes place is also where the film was filmed - Africa with a very humanistic style. When watching, I was always deeply attracted by the exotic scenery. After seeing what the people there were doing, what they were eating, what they were wearing, and what the scenery was like, I decided to visit there one day.

    In ordinary life, we need inspirational movies like Disney to encourage us, never give up in adversity, and play a good card even if a bad card is played. You can say it's too good and too routine, but I'm still done with this bowl of chicken soup. At the end, when each actor and the prototype of the story collided and embraced, it felt that the dream and reality intersected.

    Very inspirational story. It's cheesy, but it's still pretty.
