      I don't love Beckham

        To be honest, I don't like this movie very much. First of all, he has a grandstanding name, and the movie has nothing to do with this name.
        Going further, I don't think it has much to do with football. Although he appears in football, it seems to be a clan and religious issue, perhaps a family issue.
        However, the male protagonist is still very handsome (of course not Beckham). In the end, even the heroine's appearance is also very charming. Oh, and the female number 2...

      My youth, I am the master

      [My youth, I call the shots]

      In 2002, a small-cost British film became a hot topic in the film industry that year. It was "Play like Beckham". The film tells the story of how Indian girl Jesse struggled by herself and bravely played football like her idol Beckham.

      As a descendant of a traditional Indian immigrant family, family, religion and gender seem to be destined for her future, but Jesse is not reconciled to becoming an Indian housewife who only knows how to...

      Just do it if you want.

      I like to do the same thing very much, and I am good at doing it, but it can't be achieved due to the pressure from all sides, which is really frustrating. I like a person very much, and he (she) likes me the same, but because of general reasons, he can't be together, and hastily married another person. This has to be said to be a tragedy of life. Doing things you don’t want to do, marrying (marrying) people you don’t want to face, are the saddest results in your life. Fortunately, the...

      Just look at it

      An Indian+British movie, but it’s a bit mentally confused. At first, I broadcast too much Indian stuff. I thought it was a story that happened in India. But until JESSE went to buy sneakers and I saw the London subway logo, I didn’t realize it was JESSE. The family moved to the UK instead of J. The family moved to India.

      This film is just a pleasure to watch. If you have to investigate what the storyline is, it will be too entangled. The plot that makes me feel impressed is...

      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...

      The shot is very good. The content page is richer than expected. Indian girls are stubborn but very beautiful. Knightley is a fledgling body suitable for playing football. But it is hard to imagine that women would be so fond of men's sports. The more and more the coach sees, the more familiar he is, the more charming he is. I used to be a Beckham fan~~ Really...

    Movie plot

    Jessie loves football very much, but as an Indian girl, running wild on the grass in shorts is unacceptable. Jesse's parents are very opposed to her playing football, but she can't control her love for football and her idol-star David Beckham.
    Once Jessie was playing football with a few boys in the park. Julie, a member of the Horst women's team, saw her. She thought Jesse was talented and introduced her to the coach. Soon, Jesse became...

    Background creation

    The British-Indian female director and director Gu Linda who directed "Out of My World" wanted to inject the vitality and charm of football into the movie, so she conceived this story and found a group of young and energetic young actresses to star. Lin Liangzhong designed Wego, which can capture low-angle and fast lenses, and brings a new vision to the audience, making the ball game in the movie more realistic. 
    The film is directed...

    Evaluation action

    "Bend It Like Beckham" does not have the function of social warning. He is very relaxed, natural and very interesting. He allows the audience to experience two or more different humanistic styles and customs. The final feeling after watching this film is that whether you are Indian or Muslim, whether you are American or Iraqi, whether you are Israeli or Palestinian, as long as you love football, as long as you love sports, as long as...
