I always thought that Nick Hornby's "Extreme Fever" only had an American film adaptation, but in the process of collecting materials for the annual meeting, I found that there is also a British version. British adaptation of novels is much more reliable than Americans anyway, so I read it online without hesitation.
The protagonist can tell from the beginning that the director and screenwriter are loyal to the original work. Even though I haven't read the original, Hornby's leading man must be a little somber, smart and childish. This is very different from the American version of the protagonist. The story Hornby describes happened during that magical season of 1988-89, when Arsenal fans know the final game of the season, when the Gunners could only win the title with a 2-0-plus win over Liverpool at Anfield. As a result, the Gunners completed the feat in the final stoppage time of the game. The heroine in the story is wandering near the hero's house at this time. The male protagonist set up his home next to Highbury. He was watching the game at home. At the 89th minute, the female protagonist knocked on the door. Minutes (referring to Arsenal's goal in the last minute), please don't disturb him, get out as soon as possible... Fortunately, the extremely depressed heroine did not choose to take a taxi and leave, so the good news of victory came a few minutes later , Gun fans around Highbury gathered to celebrate another league title after 18 years. This festive scene takes away all the unpleasantness of the heroine and finally finds the hero who is also celebrating in the crowd.
Around the hero, an avid gun fan, countless people are infected by him, his mother, the heroine, and even the heroine's roommate, the mother of his student. They both witnessed that historic moment in England in front of the TV during that game.
Football affects their lives. And Hornby is just right for that. His "Love Broken Ranking" shows all the little emotions of the protagonist who loves music and listens to sad songs longer than an unhappy life. Even if you haven't read the original book, you can see from the movie that Hornby's portrayal of the hero of "Fever" is also vivid (although the actor's performance is not really good), such as listening to the news about Arsenal. I don’t care about the words, for example, every time I fall into deep thought, I actually think about the Gunners. For example, all the worries are for the Gunners. For example, I buy a season ticket for Highbury every season, so as to arrange my own schedule and self-report life. It starts in August each year and ends in May of the following year.
Well, let's stop here, and then write it down, it's Hornby's hero and LF's PK.
Wait for "graduation in the summer of the European Cup".
