Winning is not the ultimate goal

I thought it was a sports inspirational movie, but after watching it, I found that the film expresses far more than the topic of sports, but also has a noble will to save lives and redeem children. Reminds me of "Dead Poets Society", the good movie that once made me cry.

Basketball has been my love for many years, and I can deeply feel the tense atmosphere in the film. The wonderful showdowns, comebacks, lore and other good scenes are also staged. The coach's coaching method is also unique. First, the rules are established before the teachers and students are discussed. The role of the coach's son is a bit superfluous, too deliberately arranged, and sometimes you don't even feel the father-son relationship.

The short-sighted team members and some of their parents, the principal who is in the interest of the immediate interests, represent the secular faction. They believe that winning can solve problems, winning can get honors, and winning can be crazy to show off and open a party. But the coach didn't think so. He was thinking about the children's future, how to let them enter the college campus, avoid repeating the mistakes of their fathers, follow the old path of his former friends, and ruin his own life. I think this is a good coach who really cares about the students and really wants to help them. But it is often that kindness cannot be fully understood, because to do better requires more hard work and sacrifices more time to enjoy the worldly joys. This pain cannot be endured by all people, but those who have endured the pain can Taste the sweetness of the long-term future. Giving and rewarding are completely disproportionate at some point, because a little can be rewarded infinitely, but not everyone realizes this.

If you have youth, you will be rebellious. Fortunately, you can meet an elder who can change your paranoid, radical, and short-sighted vision, and you can grasp the future and avoid becoming inferior in society.

    To educate a person, first change his life. Only when you are really old will you understand this. When you think that the brightest moments of your life have stayed in the past and will never have highlights, you will understand that Coach Carter must learn self-discipline at the expense of pleasure when he is young, and become an adult. How important it is for life to be possible to continue highlighting afterwards.

Coach Carter quotes

  • Coach Ken Carter: [to the people in attendance at the board hearing] You really need to consider the message you're sending this boys by ending the lockout. It's the same message that we as a culture send to our professional athletes; and that is that they are above the law. If these boys cannot honor the simple rules of a basketball contract, how long do you think it will be before they're out there breaking the law? I played ball here at Richmond High 30 years ago. It was the same thing then; some of my teammates went to prison, some of them even ended up dead. If you vote to end the lockout, you won't have to terminate me; I'll quit.

  • Coach Ken Carter: I end up taking a road trip to the suburbs where I find my drunk-ass point guard on top of Daddy's little princess.

    Worm: Actually, I was on the bottom, coach, she was on the top.
