Seeing a lot of film critics questioning the credibility of the film, my thoughts are this:
First, one of the two players in the film is the No. 1 pick of the year, and the other is the youth core of the team. Their influence is still very large in the United States. It is conceivable to imagine if Zion is selected by the Lone Ranger, and doncic pushes. There was a special war of words, and then had a one-on-one appointment. What kind of sensational effect would...

The first thing to say is that although this movie is set in the NBA and invited several NBA stars for interviews, the description of the inner workings of the NBA is basically unrealistic. Please do not substitute the perspective of prying into the inner workings of the NBA It would be better to see this movie as an alternate-world sports movie.
1. Negotiation of labor-management agreement
In the movie, the reason why the NBA is shut down is because of the breakdown of the...

Nolan and Soderbergh: The film versus digital battle

Steven Soderbergh and Christopher Nolan have been friends for nearly two decades. So there's no psychological barrier when they laugh at their respective film preferences. Soderbergh attended the 2019 Slendance Film Festival, where he had the world premiere of his new film "High Flying Bird" and was awarded the "Founder of the Slendance Film Festival"....

Film Review: The Business Mechanisms of the Sports Kingdom
By Mark Asch (Film Comment)

The translation was first published in "Iris"
In "High Flying Bird," Steven Soderbergh explores a new career in his wildly inventive way. The practitioners in this type of film he shoots all serve some kind of "gig economy" by "selling" their bodies economics): in "The Fighting Shot," he discusses professional female killers who are proficient in combat; in "Call Girlfriend" and "Magic Mike" he discusses sex workers; and in...

Loss of objectivity, lost in Soderbergh under time constraints
Steven Soderbergh's films can be divided into two types: "commercial films" and "stylized author films". The former, like Eleven Arhats, is a very sophisticated and neat standard Hollywood commercial production. The latter, which this article mainly discusses, is known as a "pseudo-documentary" style. He is good at taking a large-scale system or event as the object, showing the operation of every link in the system and the reason and motivation of every change in the event in a detailed...

A major product of the assembly line network, Iphone shooting is a selling point but not a bright spot. Backdoor borrowing so in-depth can only lead to disgust, I may have watched the NBA on vacation for 20 years? Downs laughed so hard at me, he was stiff, didn't...

I just wanted to watch the basketball clips, but there were basically no results. Looking drowsy, forced to watch it. The ending is too beautiful. It is not realistic to plan so much to end the lockout by one person. But is this taken from an iPhone? The camera cuts are smooth, and the actors' natural acting skills are still a good...

For NBA fans, or non-fans, it is very difficult to enter the play. There is almost no manifestation of professional level, and there are no relatively popular elements. The only thing to watch is the name of the director of this film. Two...

It turns out that this is the legendary iPhone movie that was first cut three hours after the film was finished. Soderbergh has always been very strong, whether it's the Rohan series with dozens of big-budget stars, or it's filmed on this mobile phone, if you think about it carefully, there are many things in common. It is about disputes and contradictions within the NBA industry, but the whole film has no game scenes at all, and a lot of dialogue is indeed difficult to keep up with...

The rhythm is quite tight, but it seems to take the sports industry for granted, although I don't know much about the NBA...and Netflix really likes to add advertising money to itself in the...
