To live, anything is possible. "The Killing of Munich", an explosive sports movie based on real events

No one but the coach thought they could win.

But a miracle just happened.

The 1972 Munich Olympics in Germany was an extraordinary Olympics, with tragic incidents of casualties caused by terrorist attacks, as well as many exciting events and records. The Soviet team defeated the 36-year undefeated American team to win the basketball championship. , is one of them. The film is based on this event.

I don’t want to spoil the viewing experience of the film, so before watching the film, the author didn’t check too many introductions in advance, but I generally knew that this was an adaptation of a real event. I have heard about the last three seconds of the final dispute, no matter what, the author I believe that since it is an adaptation, there must be artistic processing elements, which are fundamentally different from documentaries. You don’t need to care about these. It is better to watch movies from the film itself.

I have watched very few Russian movies, and I am very uncomfortable with the Russian pronunciation. Moreover, the author has a certain degree of face blindness for these foreigners who are big and three thick. With so many characters, I thought that the clouds and mountains and fog masks that I would watch would affect the understanding of the plot, but I actually watched it. , but found that these concerns were superfluous.

Two hours of video, the content is very compact. After the first few minutes of confusion, I was quickly brought into the rhythm of the film, and I quickly understood what the film was talking about.

"When did they become your brothers?"

"It's always been, it's just me trying to figure it out."

Friendship, family affection, and love have not been drawn down in this film. There are multiple characters and multiple angles of narrative interspersed outside the main line, but it is commendable that they are handled very well, without being sloppy, and the stories of each character are told clearly and clearly. The dramatic conflict is well laid out, and although there are exaggerations, it is not very strange.

Most of the performance on the court uses a far overall lens, without too many close-up close-ups, which truly shows the effect of the stadium. The display of some ball skills is also very brilliant. The coordination is very beautiful. Although it is slightly different from the actual game, the advantage of the movie is that it can make the stadium show more levels, which makes up for these shortcomings to a certain extent. In the final part of the final, the film gave a share of nearly 40 minutes, which can be said to be rich in color. Although the game has always been in the lead, the game process is full of twists and turns. The whole process is high-energy, with all kinds of wonderful shooting and cooperation like performances, and even the plot of shooting with eyes closed, which makes people have a sense of sight and nostalgia watching "Slam Dunk".

The last 3 seconds, which is quite controversial, seems to be going backwards in time, and it is also like reading a game file. Although the controversy is huge, the reality is often so magical. Relying on the last three seconds of the three replays, the Soviet team finally won the game, which also expressed the central theme of the film:

To live, anything is possible.

There are many unsatisfactory things in life, and many people are facing a desperate situation, but as long as they don't give up and work hard for survival, there will still be hope.

After all, in life, anything is possible.

    There really is your old Maozi, who made a real sports game in history into "Shaolin Basketball". In the two-hour movie, not a single character stood up, and a complete plot could not be found. Everything seemed to be for the last three. Seconds serve instead of the story itself and the characters themselves. In essence, it is still an anti-American drama with the main theme of the Soviet Union. It is full of chicken blood for two hours, and a lot of MVs, advertisement-style pictures and upgraded scenes are annoying to watch. Can sports films have some respect for the sport itself?
