      Find your own little story

      When I planned to watch this movie, I
            looked at the word "Manchester United" . The artistic content became less and less, but it was a little more plain and real.
            A decadent man, through the hero in his heart. Infected, re-faced the story of standing up in life. Many domestically produced stories of this kind
            mentioned "searching". I first thought of "Looking for Jay Chou". Gui Lunmei’s fantasy idol in "Bad", these two are both domestic films.
            Why,...

      Say no now! !

      I suppressed it for too long and lost the desire for optimism.
      I struggled and wandered into the muddy set by others and myself.
      I was misunderstood and copied other people’s misunderstandings of myself.
      My heart was sleeping because I will love and the person who will love me has not yet met.
      If you can, please give me an Eric Cantona.
      That's me and the king on the road to self-salvation.
      In fact, this is the life I love deeply.
      No matter how muddy it is or...

      King Cantona

      Following the great success of "Wind Blowing Rice and Waves" in Cannes in 2006, the 73-year-old director Ken Roach won the Palme d’Or with his new film "Looking for Eric". Although it was unsuccessful in the end, the film still maintained a better performance. High standard, the story is humorous and funny, but with a little sadness, the actors act naturally, and the final dramatic ending is very interesting. . .
          The ending subtitles are also interspersed with Cantona's classic press...

      ken loach~Cantona~Man United~

      Yes, this kind of ending is natural,,,but
      why are there tears in my eyes? And I clearly remember that not long before the end of the film, watching Operation Cantona made me laugh continuously~ Yes, as the great Old Trafford King Cantona said, this film makes people laugh Want to cry and laugh...
      It turned out that this is what Ken Rocky calls a comedy, which is nothing more than a tragedy with a happy ending...

      Looking for faith-oh! Fake (avoid harmony, please read along with the pronunciation)

      Oh! Fak (avoid harmony, please read along with the pronunciation)
          This is the word with the highest frequency in the whole movie, everything is Fak! why?
          Because he couldn’t deal with it, because the room leaked rainy nights, and because he was living in trouble, he had been silently enduring the trouble of life. However, it turned out not to be the case. He was also a person who dreamed of this little third, and he was troubled. It's the junior, and the dream is the main...

      Be led out of the predicament of life by your idol. The whole film is full of British flavor. The use of fxxking is free with a little dark humor. While happy, I also see how an embarrassed man ushered in the second spring of his life. Anyway, I actually came to see Cantona, the king of Manchester United. This film should be of great significance to Manchester United fans, because if I am not a fan, I will be shouting for those flashbacks of classic...

      The truth is a little unreal. Relying on the idol Cantona's "successful enticement", it is actually self-liberation after repeated review. The football sentiment runs through the whole film, full of British flavor, black humor mixed with ramble dialogue, career, feelings No matter how dull the expansion of the conflict between children and self-psychology is, the last group drama is even more warm to the bottom of my heart. The portrayal of the character's shaping environment is very good, and...

      Ken Loach will always give you the real angst of someone's life in the UK before giving you a dramatic warm result, a tribute to Manchester United, even though I don't know Eric Cantona at...

    Movie plot

    The postman Eric Bishop ( played by Steve Evets ) has lost his way again. It is no longer known how many times he has gone the wrong way. He always goes round and round in the same place, and then completely can't distinguish the north, south, east and west . His colleagues at the post office are very anxious about his situation. They have never seen him like this-so look down on himself, and get upset at work, it's a mess.
    And the...

    Evaluation action

    "Looking For Eric" is a tragic comedy, an inspirational story full of fantasy little characters, and an elongated sketch. The "old boy" under the lens of Ken Loach is stubborn in front of the two sons. Stephen Ivents plays a father who has lost his dignity. He once lost his confidence in life, numb in his memories, and polished the years in idol worship.
    At first glance from this calm perspective, I think this is another real tragedy...
