Can you seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

This is a very melancholy movie. It is not like many other inspirational sports movies, which excites the audience like chicken blood. It is very real. The scene is not fancy, the music is not sensational, it seems very ordinary, but these days, ordinary people can often move people.

A small town that is extremely enthusiastic about rugby, a small town with a little run-down but a very beautiful stadium, a small town where people watch the game every Friday even if they are not working. You can imagine how much it would be to play rugby in such a small town. With great pressure, people in the town pin their hopes on a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school boys, hoping that they can win the state championship and win glory for the town. Under this kind of gaze, these high school students can only work hard and work hard, but if these are not enough, what will happen?

Probably because it was adapted from real events, the style of the film is a bit gloomy. Those who dominate the field often will not have the chance to stay in this circle. For example, Tang's father, even if he won the state championship, still failed to get out of his life. This small town. Those boys who sweat constantly for victory have basically nothing to do with football. The disproportionate pay and return make people like me feel incredible. Is it just for a ring to be worth the effort?

But for those boys, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They really love this high-risk sport. The bright lights on the field, the cheering crowd, and the teammates they can rely on are all precious treasures and worthy of Memories of a lifetime.

The most impressive thing is the ending. They tried their best and still didn't win, but everyone was perfect. They could look into the eyes of their teammates and tell them that they had done everything they could. They have no regrets. In the end, the three iron buddies bid farewell to each other outside the stadium. The audience in the arena cheered for the new players, with the picture of the coach taking off the famous brand and the sound of the guitar, the fact that once in a lifetime was fully emphasized. The era belonging to these still young young people has passed. Even if their glory has only passed a few months, it is hard to say that this kind of scene is not lonely, just like burning all the passion and hard work for something, and all the dust When it is settled and will eventually exit, it seems to be hollowed out, but no new ones are given.

Mike, this holds up the soul of the entire team and threw the ball to the next generation, intending to pass on this spirit, and with a turn of the sunset, it feels a little healed. They worked so hard for a glorious moment on the field, who can't be replaced? This is the norm in the world.
