I love Beckham: theoretical issues and reality

Before I watched the movie, I always thought that the protagonist was Keira. In fact, to say something unkind, I also

said that this is a small-cost movie that explores the relationship between humanity and reality. There is no dazzling starlight, no ups and downs. The plot is just using Beckham as a gimmick, and after removing the gimmick, only a pure examination of human nature is left.
Ah, let me examine two more prominent issues,

race issues and reality
The real protagonist of the film is actually the Indian baby girl named jess. Her father had won the East Africa Cup when he was in India, but after coming to the UK, because of the racial discrimination of British Xiaobai, this honest and honest Indian uncle vowed not to play. The ball, that is, such a decision almost (note that what I said almost) ruined the ball of his genius daughter. There are two main Xiaobai in the film, one is juse and the other is coach joe. In order to highlight the impact of racial issues, the film deliberately magnified it, especially emphasizing that coach joe is an Irish (to avoid the conflict between joe and jess in the subsequent love), and tried to help her out of the skin since jess entered the team The shadow of difference, this echoes with the Juse family. As a native of the British people, the Juse family did not discriminate against Jess’s Indian identity. The director seemed to intend to show that the racial problem could be alleviated, but then when playing the game, players of the opposing team pulled Jess’s jersey and caused it to fall. The referee blows the black whistle, and hears the opposing player’s rebellious words "bucky", which seems to imply that the racial problem is a long-term problem that can never be solved. This is a sharp contrast. Contrast makes the issue of race a major thought-provoking issue in the film. Because although there are many people in this world who are doing their best for the unity of all ethnic groups, there are still extremists who think that their skin color is supreme. So to be honest, we cannot deny that many great people (such as Lincoln) including the ordinary people (such as the Juse family) have used actions to solve racial discrimination, but personally think that such problems can never be solved, only to ease but not It will be reconciliation. This still has a considerable connection with the cultures of various ethnic groups. We cannot ask other ethnic cultures to assimilate with us. Of course, other ethnic groups have no such rights. For such problems, we can only say that we are doing our best. , "Definitely" is obviously not suitable for a problem that has been intractable for thousands of years. If it is as easy as eating tofu, this problem should have been solved long ago, but contact the recent parents. Judging from the attitude of the police on the arrest of a black professor, it is naturally easy to get the result (I personally think that the incident was a personal grievance and revenge).

Homosexuality issues and reality
As the joke of this film, I personally think that the three-time homosexuality problem is an absolute 0-degree joke (I mean a cold joke) and the second most worthy of discussion. It was the first time that Juse and Jess kissed each other at the bus stop, but they were seen by the parents of Jess’s sister’s fiancé and mistakenly thought that Jess was a gay... Seeing as a man, sweating to death) So the parents decided to cancel the marriage contract between sister Jess and his son. After that, Jess went home and was inexplicably scolded. In fact, this is understandable, because the people in the jess phalanx are all Indians. As a people with religious beliefs, their attitudes towards marriage and life have been rigid and regulated to a certain extent, not to mention homosexuality, which has not yet been accepted by modern people. But the strange thing is that Jess seems to be more open-minded than anyone else. She can abandon tradition and chase her dreams and love (off-topic), and she is more able to accept homosexuality. People expressed shock with such thoughts), so the second time they involved jess and her good friend tony, a simple and honest Indian guy. Tony said that he "likes" Beckham or "really likes", I really don't understand this. Does the director here want to express whether this guy is gay or what? According to the conversation between Tony and Jess, I still understand him as a homosexual. Jess was not surprised when he heard his "like". Instead, he was calm, as if "I knew you this little mess". He didn't care, I really didn't know what it was like that poor young man saw that the person he trusted was like this. So the dramatic third time appeared. Juse’s mother saw her daughter fighting jess and thought that her daughter was gay... (totally speechless), she was sad for a long time until Juse was really angry and worked hard towards her mother. After explaining that they were just good friends, her mother was very shameless and found herself down the stairs. She felt suspicious and felt like she was looking for something. In 107 minutes, the topic of homosexuality appeared 3 times, and there was indeed a test point (thinking point). Both the Indians and the British are so sensitive to this topic. It can be seen that it does not mean that modern people living in the city can accept it. It is also a hot topic that is still in dispute. I personally think that it is absolutely impossible to eliminate homosexuality, at least it is unfair to some people, although they In terms of physiology, they are different from ordinary people. After all, they are still human beings with thoughts and feelings. None of us has the right to deprive them of the right to pursue feelings. If all homosexuals can find someone they like willingly, how can it not be a good thing? Everything should be about fate. I always believe that what is forced is not the best. Even if there is fate, there is no difference. How can it be called a good marriage?
Speaking of letting the flow go, Juse's interpretation clearly shows that the relationship between himself and coach Joe has never been clearly seen. Seeing the love between joe and jess, I felt resentment and jealousy in my heart, but in the end I could afford to let it go. It is the perfect answer not to force it, and to let go, and it is also a freedom for myself. Everything needs to be seen clearly. "Understanding" is the meaning of life, because we must understand what we pursue, what we gain, what we lose, what we love, and what we hate while we are alive.
