Baseball is a relatively unpopular sport in China, but in the United States, baseball is indeed a popular sport. In this popular project, the legend of No. 42 may be known to most Americans, but for most Chinese, it is unknown. It happens that this movie records the legend of No. 42 of the American Baseball League.
The script of the film is extremely good. It intercepts the most glorious period of Jackie Robinson's life and tells us how a black athlete fought against fate and times to gain everyone's respect, and thus changed the world. For an era, the story of the legend of No. 42 was created. Compared with the 2011 baseball-themed "Moneyball", Jackie Robinson's story is not inferior to the latter in terms of quality. The two baseball movies are also based on true events, Jackie Robinson's story. More "kind, interesting and informative". In the finished film, it seems that "Legend of No. 42" is obviously inferior to "Moneyball" in terms of directing talent, but I also believe that the connotation that Helgeland wants to express in the film is clearly expressed, and The temperament achieved by the film, in my opinion, is also in line with Helgeland's consistent taste.
I didn't know that in the mid-20th century, racial discrimination in the United States was still so serious, there were toilets for white people, bleachers for different colors, and so on. However, what is most presented in the movie is the discrimination and abuse of the black athlete by the audience, players and referees on the court. Just like the story told by the team owner Blanche to Jackie Robinson later, the talented player was rejected by the team. To give up, to degenerate, to become depressed and finally to collapse, but all of this is just the skin color on the body is different. This kind of unfairness exists in the game, but what you can do is not to stand up to scolding, sparring, using your own violence or evasion to face these problems, but to use your home runs and stolen bases to prove it Own.
In the face of all kinds of adversities such as doubts, opposition, abuse, and insults from most people and the so-called "mass" who do not know what is right or wrong, the movie explains very well how we should respond to them and face such "enemies" , use our achievements and our score to tell them that your actions can only prove that you are afraid of failure and that you are timid and cowardly. Jackie Robinson's life and the game are faced with various tests and challenges; in the movie, when a player received a threatening letter and gave it to the boss to give up the game, the boss dug out three whole books in the bookcase. Threatening letter to Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson is infested all the time, but all you see in the movie is his resolutely silent face and his hard-hitting home run!
right! This is the attitude! ! What I have done, what I can do is to do my own duty, be meticulous and go all out! !
Of course, in addition to telling us these, the movie also has a scene that conveys another kind of message. In one game, when Jackie Robinson came on the court, white people cursed and asked Jackie to get out of the court. One of them was a little white man. The boy sat in the auditorium and heard the abuse from the white adults around him. Finally, he also shouted the slogan that the niggers get out of the stadium. This kind of racial discrimination was passed on to the next generation. Perhaps this is resentment. For the childhood when the concept of right and wrong is immature, the resentment of the previous generation was unreservedly conveyed to the next generation, and it was preserved in their ideological imprint. When we face the next generation, about education, perhaps about things, more than telling them what is right and wrong, but giving them the criteria for judging right and wrong, so that they can think about right and wrong. Don't let our taint be passed on to the next generation's fair minds.
