hold on to the dream

The technique of the film is very comfortable, and it is so comfortable that one does not feel the existence of the technique. It was difficult to shoot a few times, but the director was able to distinguish these clips, and they were all very catchy. It was really not easy. The emotional flow of the script was also very suitable, either tense or relaxed, including the rise and fall before the climax. The short-term stability specially arranged in the ladder is very standard. In terms of the quality of the overall presentation of the film, it is even better than walking in the cloud.

This film is boring without guessing the ending. When Eddie jumped 90 meters, I was really worried. After such hard work, with such courage, we must succeed... Sure enough, when Eddie got up again in a position where he almost slipped, he finally... (no spoilers) I believe everyone has dream. Some people have given up, but there are still many people who are struggling and working hard, in adversity or prosperity, just like you and me at this moment. In front of your dreams, if that person says no to you...if everyone laughs at you and says no to you...if you are afraid and doubt yourself...can you persevere when you add them together?

At that time, it is possible to think of these words of encouragement: I am the only ski jumper in the UK, I am the holder of the UK world record for platform jumping, and you actually say that I cannot represent the UK? No. No matter who it is, hearing such No is definitely a heartbreaking moment. But precisely because under such circumstances, he didn't give up, and yes, I didn't want to give up either. I'm still looking forward to my moment of honor.

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.
