      They were shot for winning the German team

      1

      In the World Cup in Russia, the German team was kicked out by the South Korean team.

      The defeat of the German team gave the writers inspiration.

      For example, "Champion Curse":

      There is also the "Mexican Curse":

      In addition to all kinds of curses, some people pointedly...

      Football war

      It would be great if the war could be ended in a football game.
      If victory is not all-round, it will always make perfectionists a little uncomfortable. Friends who know some German football history will know that the German football team's record against England at that time set in the film is really bad enough, so It seems reasonable for the arrogant German to make concessions in such a game.
      The Americans showed the film in a very humorous way, but fortunately, the high degree of...

      Football forever

      "Where should I stand when kicking a corner kick?" Hatch asked.
      "Don't worry about it," the coach said.
      Yes, Hatch, no, it’s Stallone. He doesn’t have to worry about how to play that game, especially in Pele, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Adiles, Kazimierz Dina, etc. By the side of the star, he just needs to be his goalkeeper and don't attack easily.

      "The Great Escape", like many World War II movies, set up a performance event (in this case a football match) arranged by the Nazis to...

      The most classic football movie in history

      I like "Escape to Victory" because it is an eternal football legend. This 1981 sports film jointly shot by the United States and Britain tells the story of a football team formed by a group of Allied prisoners of war during the Second World War, defeating the Nazi German team and crushing its conspiracy to thwart the morale of the Allied forces. This football blockbuster brings together a large number of stars: Michael Kane, Sylvester Stallone, the king Bailey, the football emperor Becken Bauer...

      I see the stars

      Recently, as a football fan, I can’t miss this film. It seems that the film is a bit longer and a bit boring in the middle. Of course, this is the requirement now. Generally speaking, it is a classic and good film. .If you are a little disgusted with the excessive movie stunts on the screen, it can’t be more appropriate. All the action scenes basically have no stunts, and they are completely personal performances of the stars. In particular, Pele’s barb shot is only professional. Players can do...

      The first half was so boring, the second half was so happy! It would be much better without the first half, and the overall style needs to be...

      For the first time, I feel that Stallone can have a handsome moment in addition to Rocky. In addition, in addition to Bailey's upside-down golden hook, other football scenes are too poorly filmed. ....

      On rewatching, I found out that it was directed by John Huston. The POW camp setting is a bit whimsical, but the whole show is great. This is a real sports...

    Movie plot

    American-born prisoner of war Hatch ( Sylvester Stallone ) originally only knew how to play American football. Later, after unremitting efforts, Colby ( Maurice Joseph Micklewhite ) let him serve as the team's backup goalkeeper. But as soon as he joined the team, Hatch got a task: to go to Paris, connect with the underground organization, and help the entire football team escape on the day of the game.
    Hatch arrived in Paris with great...

    Evaluation action

    The background of the prisoner-of-war camp set up by "Victory" makes this movie divorced from daily life, so there is no need to pay attention to fine details. This allows many fans to enjoy in a fictitious world without having to consider the actual club. Nevertheless, the plot is still a bit ridiculous. Although it was shot in the 1980s, it is more like a 1950s movie with a classic narrative structure and stylistic conventions....e

    • [Hatch has been told he has to return to the prison camp]

      Hatch: What am I supposed to do, break back into the camp?

      André - The French: No. You get captured.

      Hatch: Get captured. All right, suppose I get captured? And then they send me to the wrong prisoner camp. What about that?

      André - The French: No, no.

      Hatch: Now, what about that?

      André - The French: [tsks and shakes his head] The Germans will take you to the same place again to show the other prisoners you are not a success.
