      Goal! The Dream Begins--Football Equals Film Equals Life

      I went to the test today, and when I was bored, I went to see which new players my beloved Juventus were going to buy. Who knew that when I opened the sports homepage of Sina.com, the picture of the Spanish derby came into view? I thought it was a close battle, but it was one-sided carnage!

      Talking about "Fame with One Ball" from the perspective of screenwriting skills

      Screenwriting skills are well used. There are several bridges worth learning. 1. In the opening part of the family smuggling to the United States, in addition to explaining the background of the male pig's feet, there is also the most important emotional basis, that is, the father-son relationship will be unhappy because of football. When Boy's Feet lost the football, his father sternly told him to leave the soccer ball alone, and a typical movie would show that Boy's Feet must get the ball...

      goal

      It's a very ordinary sports inspirational film. The big-name players are like vases in it, and they appear in a place that I didn't expect. The second film has improved, but I watched the tidbits of the first film and filmed their skills. Know something, so disappointed again.
      There are two details in the whole film that I have to talk about. One is the discarded football at the beginning of the film, which is spinning, and the second is the moment when he opened the cabinet door when he...

      Do you have a dream?

      Just based on this long list of football stars, this movie is enough to be my must-see and favorite, even if it's badly shot. Of course, this film is not bad, it can be regarded as a heart-warming and passionate inspirational film.
      Santiago, a teenager born in Mexico, loved football since he was a child and was very talented. When he was a teenager, he smuggled into the United States with his family, and the family lived hard in the United States, but this did not weaken Santiago's love...

      Only dreams never fade

      The story is actually pretty old-fashioned. A Mexican boy smuggled to the United States with his father, grandmother and brother. While surviving, he never gave up his dream, which is football. Maybe it's the genes in the blood, or the gift of God, he is extremely talented, and he strategizes on the court like a king.
         By chance, when he was playing football, he was discovered by a scout who came to Los Angeles to visit his daughter. The scout turned out to be a Newcastle player and a...
