The English name of the film "Miracle" comes from a famous broadcast phrase by the famous American sports broadcaster Al Michaels: "Do you believe in miracles? .Yes! (Do you believe in miracles?) Yes, you should believe it!)"
Similar to "The Rookie" in 2002, "Miracle" is also an inspirational sports film that promotes the main theme. It is also starred by a second-rate action star, and the backstage team is basically the original cast of "Rookie". Centaur, the script was adapted from the first draft of the newcomer Eric Guggenheim by Mike Rich, the screenwriter of the "Bon" film. Back then, "Rookie of Baseball" used a mere $16 million in investment and recovered 75 million in the box office, which allowed Dennis Quaid, who had already been close to a dead end, to rise again. I don't know how lucky Kurt Russell was this time.
Kurt Russell, who plays the male protagonist Brooks, is a tough guy action star that fans are very familiar with. Few people know that Russell was a popular child star when he was a child. Film director John Carpenter discovered a successful transformation. His works include "Escape From New York" in 1981 and "The Thing" in 1982, although Russell has also acted in many literary works. Films, such as "Silkwood" with Meryl Streep and Chel, and "Tequila Sunrise" with Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer. ) And so on, but generally speaking, the action movies he has played are the most popular, such as "Soldier", "Highest Crisis", "Backfire" and so on. In the past two years, Russell, who is getting older and older, is facing transformation again. Last year he played the role of an old-fashioned middle-aged policeman in "Deep Blue", which was a successful attempt.
With the exception of Kurt Russell, a film veteran, most of the "Miracle" are young handsome guys who made their debut on the screen. Among them, Michael Mantenuto, who plays the lead attacker Jack, is a college student majoring in drama. He is also the main player of the school’s ice hockey team; another star, Eddie Cassirer, once played Rachel’s assistant Tiger in the series "Six People". Most people who have watched this series will think he is familiar.
In order to truly reproduce Brooks and his miracle team on the screen, the crew specially invited Herb Brooks himself as a special consultant to provide a lot of valuable details for the film, but it is a pity that Brooks was in a car accident in August last year. Unfortunately, he passed away, and this film became the best memorial for him.
In the history of Hollywood, there are not too few movies about ice hockey, probably this is also related to the American enthusiasm for ice hockey. From 1992 to 1996, Disney filmed the popular "The Mighty Ducks" trilogy, and actor Russell Crowe also filmed "Mystery, Alaska" in 1999. , But the box office was miserable.
