Eagle Eddie

At the Winter Olympics, Eddie broke his personal record with the worst result, and excitedly twisted with the so-called "Flying Eagle", which was actually a "chicken". It's really silly and cute, but then there is a strong sadness, because this is not a story that hard work pays off, so it is more real. We can't afford Eddie's embarrassing way of making a fool of himself, ordinary like you and me, we are very similar to him, but not as good as him, so we sincerely hope that Eddie can make a successful jump. If Eddie can express anything, it is "win or lose is defined by you, I only pursue the original intention of love".

There is a philosophical part of the Finnish trapeze in the film: we are like eleven o'clock and one o'clock, the distance between us is shorter than the distance with other people, winning or losing is a nobody to consider, people like us, we are Jump to free yourself. This analogy is simply not too apt, but forgive me for digressing, we are like eleven o'clock and one o'clock, very close, but far away. It gives me the feeling that I met the right person at the wrong time. It seems to be very close, but the distance is very far. If both people are unwilling to stop and wait, they will go further and further. So what if you really encounter such a situation, then you have to run hard before the hour hand takes a step, even if it takes a long time.

    3.5 Both the subject matter and the way of expression are the opposite of "Point Break". Therefore, it is especially suitable for ordinary people such as me to watch, which is very inspirational.

    Very old-fashioned script and filming method, vulgar and irresistible tears. BGM is much better than the plot. I don't like the setting of the father's role in similar themes. It is always a mean attack -> silent concern -> a successful reconciliation, very powerful, very narrow and very unreasonable. On the scene, Taron loves to flirt with girls. When others are interviewed, he uses his mouth and movements to interact with the audience; Uncle Wolf is really handsome.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Matti Nykänen: You and I... You and I are like one o'clock and eleven o'clock. You see, we are closer to each other than to others. Winning, losing, all that stuff is for the little people. Men like us, we jump to free our souls. We are the only two jumpers with a chance to make history today. If we do less than our best with the whole world watching, it will kill us inside. For all time.

    Eddie Edwards: Good luck, Matti.

  • Official Speaker: [At the Closing Ceremony of the Calgary Olympics] You have broken world records. You have established many of your own personal bests and some of you have even soared like an eagle.
