      Jamaicans on ice

      The most famous people in Jamaica should be Bolt and Bob Marley, but how much do most people know about this country that was once colonized by Britain? Astrafa & Cannabis? Or is it an endless stream of sprint elites?

      Today during the winter solstice, I watched a sports movie "Light Ride on Ice", which was adapted from real events. It was about Jamaica, a tropical island country, where a group of great guys went to participate in a four-person sled race in the Winter...

      Inspirational comedy

      Jamaica, a tropical country, even participated in the Winter Olympics competition. It seemed like an incredible thing had happened. Three athletes who lost in the Jamaican sprint and a champion in the Jamaican cart competition, plus a United States that won the Winter Olympics twice 20 years ago but was notoriously degraded and depressed because of cheating in the competition. coach. This is how tropical countries will participate in the Winter Olympics.

      Sanka, are you dead? Yeah man...

      In fact, it is a very simple story. It tells that Jamaicans participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1988. After reading the synopsis, I can roughly think of the content and routines. Although the subject matter is very simple, the shooting is exceptionally humorous and inspirational. It made me cry and laugh, and once again felt it from the bottom of my heart. That kind of pure sportsmanship and patriotism. I think if any domestic director came to shoot the subject of...

      Excellent template for sports comedy inspirational films

      It can be regarded as a classic template for sports inspiration. It is also the subject of snow sports. I guess that Jin Ronghua must have studied and analyzed the film carefully when he made "National Representative", because in the process of watching this film, he really saw a lot of similar elements and settings between the two films. ,for example:

      Character setting: Among the players, there are a pair of brothers (but the national representative is a brother, this is a good...

      These few days coincide with the Beijing Olympic Games. After 40 years, the Jamaican ski team is once again standing in the Winter Olympics. A country that has never seen snow has seen cultural differences, racial discrimination, and competition gaps in the snow country, but the brave are not afraid. Worth watching during the Winter...

      Sanka Coffie: Ah, will you shut up about the damn Swiss! I mean, it was all that "eins zwei drei" nonsense that got us all nervous in the first place.

      Derice Bannock: Hey, man, look here, I'm just trying to get us off on the right foot.

      Sanka Coffie: Well, the right foot for us is not the Swiss foot. I mean, come on, Derice, we can't be copying nobody else's style. We have our own style.

      Derice Bannock: Kissing an egg is no kind of style. It's the Olympics here, it's no stupid push-cart derby.

      [Long pause]

      Sanka Coffie: Let me tell you something, rasta, I didn't come up here to forget who I am and where I come from.

      Derice Bannock: Neither did I. I'm just trying to be the best I can be.

      Sanka Coffie: So am I, and the best I can be is Jamaican. Look, Derice, I've known you since Julie Jeffreys asked to see your ding-a-ling, and I'm telling you as a friend... if we look Jamaican, walk Jamaican, talk Jamaican and IS Jamaican, then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican.
