      Some commonalities of inspirational films

      1. The film revolves around a certain activity, such as football, violin, etc. Make a game or show the central event of the entire movie.

      2. The protagonist must have been unknown in the beginning, and his identity/qualification/physical condition brought huge difficulties and obstacles to his or her participation in this competition.

      3. There must be a Bole-like life mentor who has discovered the great potential of the protagonist and made the protagonist qualified to...

      The Greatest Game Ever Played - The Inspirational Road of Diaosi America

      Golf seems to really be able to exercise. It's nice to see how they play. Give strength, but restraint.

      Talking about gentleman, mainly likes the pursuit of talent, and treats talented people with unrestrained appreciation and respect. I love America because things normally are fare here.

      A microcosm - the inspirational road of Diaosi America. The pride of the United States has also gradually risen in the challenges to Britain little by little. The US open?!...

      class theory

      Disney is the main theme education base in the United States, producing various inspirational films every year, of which sports is the most important category. All kinds of sports competitions are inherently contingent. The weak wins the strong. It can be said to be a fluke or a miracle. Disney gives people the feeling that it is systematically collecting the miracles in the history of sports, and then all those American players have won. Made into a movie, huh, it's quite selfish....

      greatest game

      On June 1st, I watched an inspirational movie "Those Greatest Games".
       
      In the early 20th century, golf was a sport that could only be enjoyed by the upper class, while Wimet was born in a poor family, but he had a talent for golf.
       
      During his caddie career he gradually showed talent.
       
      However, social obstacles and the prejudice of a working-class father have delayed his dream.
       
      His father said: "I had dreams too.
       
      However, Weimet's mother and...

      JUST FOLLOW YOUR DREAM

      A story about chasing your dreams despite resistance. After watching "Challenge on the Greens", I was moved by Francis. He has enough talent and love for golf, so he can be afraid of resistance and dare to challenge on the road of pursuing his dream. Do what no one else has done, and do what no one else dares to do. Such a character is destined to be a successful man in the future. After all, he did become a successful businessman in the end.
             I admire him very much, he has his own...

      The first half is a bit slow, and the second half is getting better. For a movie like golf, which has no physical contact and conflict, the director's shot scheduling has made golf very interesting. It is said that it is a sports movie, but it is actually a family movie. The father finally raised his hand and made eye contact with his son, and was about to cry. Shia LaBeouf is so small, she really looks like a minor. ....

      Adapted from real events, the miracle of the amateur golfer's counterattack. The routine of getting out of alignment when you're nervous is boring. The cute little ball boy is really a lucky star. Good photography and editing, wide course, swing in the rain, small ball in motion. I prefer the role of Harry Vardon. He sees his own shadow in Francis, breaking through the hierarchy and proving himself in the so-called high society movement with serious exclusivity. Handsome...

    Movie plot

    In the United States in the 1910s, when golf was a highly exclusive, "high and rich" aristocratic sport, a young man named Francis Omit ( Shia La Beouf ) came from a poor economic background. From a good working family, as a caddie on the golf course, he has a very special passion for golf, and also has a very rare talent. It can be said that he is a natural golf genius. But due to his background, he can only be an amateur golfer in...

    Evaluation action

    "The Greatest Game Ever Played" truly restores the golf world more than 100 years ago, and is loved by many golfers. There are many golf elements in the film, all of which are about real events. The film is not only an inspirational golf competition, but also a heart-warming family and love. The audience can also see the classical swing of the early 20th century and Harry Wharton's Classic grip position. Despite its flaws, the film is...
