First of all, let’s briefly describe this film. The film is adapted from the true story of the Spanish Aderes Burjassot disabled basketball team. It tells that the assistant coach of the Spanish University League came to a team composed of mentally retarded and Down syndrome players. The story of the basketball team being a coach and leading the players to fight together. (When the editor watched this film, I thought it was the cast, because when I watched it, I only felt that some people had some defects, which would increase the effect of the film. However, I didn’t expect it to be the film’s "Actors" are completely real disabled people, let's not talk nonsense, let's review this touching and inspirational film together)

"Basketball Champions" starring coach Marco Montes is the assistant coach of the college basketball team. The first shot of the film review was that Marco was facing a ticket for parking overtime, and the person who issued the ticket was a disabled person who was doing it every day. Community service work, of course, this disabled person is also a basketball player in the play later~ It's a bit dramatic, and it's a coincidence~

Because of a few quarrels with the parking lot manager, Marko drove away to the basketball game of the college students at that time, and it happened that the players had been in a state of being beaten by the opponent, and Marko and the head coach were even more anxious. Uneasy, the two also had a dispute over strategic deployment. After that, the small flames finally broke out under the strong dispute. The dispute between Marko and the head coach rose to physical movements. At last, Marko was named and kicked out of the game in the name of beating the head coach, and it was also on the news.

Marco was in a very bad mood at this time, so he went to the tavern for a few drinks. I have to say that wine is a good thing. It really makes people feel happy, but happiness is happiness, drinking and driving.. ....No, drinking and driving is not right. Prompted by alcohol, Marco indulged himself and his car on the road all the way, and then accidentally knocked off the rearview mirror of the police car due to the high speed. He could only speed up and park in front of Marko's car. Marko did not hesitate to crash into the police car. After this series of events happened, Marko was directly locked in the police station and faced prison. Finally, with the help of a lawyer, Marko was sentenced to a suspended driver's license and three months of community service.

The story is finally about to begin...

Marco came to this community service job and found that it was a community group composed of people with intellectual disabilities, and Marco's task was to build them into a real basketball team and play in various team games. Seeing that the players are always denying that Marco is not able to play a group of disabled people who can't even play, let alone participate in the game, even people can not be regarded as normal people, Marco collapsed several times.

But Marco couldn't refuse this special player. He could only start teaching from running and became their coach. One day, the community manager called Marco and said that because we have a coach, we signed up the players to participate in the National League. Marco was even more confused when he heard it...

The house leak happens to rain overnight, whether it is career or emotional, Marco is really bumpy all the way...

Out of desperation, Marco began to re-understand his players. There were people who had unfortunate childhoods and those who did not develop well when they were fetuses. Seeing that although the players had defects on their bodies, they were still living a normal life independently. Marco has also changed for the players.

Marco began to devote himself to the training of the players. When the first game was approaching, some players left the team, and some did not give leave because of the boss's meanness. Yes, but everyone signed up and couldn't give up, but in the first game, everyone lived up to expectations and won the game.

Later, another little girl joined the team, giving the team more hope of winning. In this way, Marko's "friends team" has won several games along the way, and Marko's confidence in the team has become higher and higher. Even when the team has the green light all the way, it is also among the best, because this special team, Marco and the team also won everyone's attention. When they finally entered the finals, the community managers decided to retire. The reason was that the match point was far away and they could not afford the air tickets and hotel expenses of the players. I was indulging in the joy of the basketball game and fell to the bottom again.

After learning about the funding situation, everyone went back to their old lives, everyone lost their love for life, and seeing the conditions of the players, Marko decided to act with his wife and find one of the team's workplaces that were abused by the boss As a police officer, he accused the boss of abusing the disabled and wanted to arrest the boss and put him in jail. The boss was frightened to death. In the end, in the name of sponsoring the team, he escaped the accusation, and the team finally had the funds to participate in the game.

In the last championship game, the only person who can really play also returned to the team, and everyone went to the court happily. During the game, because the opponent was a "dwarf team", all of them were actually very strong, and their skills were also very good. Very good, in the first half of the game, I was always behind, and Marco started to get anxious again. We came to other people's home court after crossing the mountains and rivers. Naturally, we came to win the game. After adjusting the tactics, the score was gradually tied. In the last ten seconds, the player ran under the opponent's court. Everyone thought that the handicapped person was going to score a shot for the opponent. However, no, the player threw the ball hard from the opponent's court with his backhand. At their home court, do everyone think this is a nirvana, do they want to get three points... Obviously, this ball will not be scored, and the ball will rub shoulders with the frame. After that second, Marco collapsed, but at this time he got the cheers of the audience......

The players cheered and cheered with the opponent's players. Marco was even more stunned when he saw this scene. He thought that we lost. When he saw the happy state of the players, the players said, a friendly runner-up and a lonely champion , when which is better, Marko gradually understood...

What everyone pursues is not fame and fortune, not that I must be better than you, not that I must be the best team, but that it is more important for us to live a happy and happy life. Everyone in this world is chasing fame and fortune, but they forget that the most essential meaning of people living in this world is to spend every day happily.

In the end, Marko's community service was full, and the players also won and changed. Marko was about to bid farewell to this special team, but Marko was too sad to say goodbye, so he chose to leave silently, with sadness He left silently. In the end, Marco stood up and planned to turn around and say goodbye to the players before leaving. When he turned around, he found that the players were behind him. The players were not sad, but wanted to say thank you to the coach. Giving and caring during this time, caring for each of us like a father, and helping them out of their inner fears.

The last scene is a group of people hugging, crying, laughing, and singing toast together!

Well, let me introduce to you again, every defective person in this film is real.

It's hard to live with a group of people who are really mentally handicapped, it's even harder to teach them to play basketball and go to the next game and win championships, and it's even harder to teach a group of people with intellectual disabilities to learn It is even more difficult to play basketball and make a movie. It is really very difficult. Not only to make a movie, but also to let them learn all this and cooperate, both actors and directors. is a tough thing.

    Instruct a group of mentally handicapped players who will cross the street, wear reverse shoes, attack personally, and ignore all the rules. But he never realized that he was the same type of person as them, arguing with the administrator in the parking lot, arguing with the head coach in the arena, arguing with the female partner in the love field, and he was clearly the one who needed interpersonal guidance the most. Some people are afraid of water, some people are afraid of the dark, and some people are afraid of loneliness. Some people are afraid of following the rules, and some people will break the rules.

    I beg high-end movie fans to put away the critical thinking that you have nowhere to put. How mean you are, the more we need this kind of movie that conveys the warmth of the world.
