This is a British film detailing the inspiring and true story of Michael Edwards, the most famous ski jumper in British history, known as "Eddie the Eagle". The protagonist has dreamed of participating in the Olympic Games since he was a child, and has been trying all kinds of possibilities. The climax is that he finally stood on the field of the Olympic Games as a ski jumper, ready to attack the 90-meter platform that he had never tried. He turned fear into motivation with the doubts and ridicule that filled his ears. Bravely slid to the track. He succeeded. Although he didn't get a very good ranking, he was undoubtedly successful. Just like the Dutch teenager told him before he entered the stadium, I won the gold medal, but I didn't give my best. If I did my best, I would be happier even at the bottom. Winning or losing is just a vulgar thing. We ski to free the soul, so give it your all. If we don't do our best, we will all suffer like a knife and suffer forever. Eddie's master, Peary, is a ski jumper who is extremely talented but not very passionate about the sport. Abandoned himself as a snow plow driver in a ski training camp, and was addicted to alcohol. It was not until he saw Eddie who was "one-strand" that he understood why he was expelled by the coach. Eddie's Olympic spirit of not giving up woke him up. , he also became Eddie's coach. Peary's former coach saw Peary's change, and as a result removed prejudice against him and re-approved him. This movie is an adaptation of a real life story. In reality, he had no chance to participate in the Olympic Games later. But at the end of the story of the movie, he and Peary agreed to work together for another four years to compete in the next Olympics. I believe that at that time, they will definitely achieve better results. The blank at the end is also an affirmation of Eddie's precious spirit of never giving up on the sports arena, praising his extraordinary perseverance and optimism in the face of huge difficulties and challenges. The original protagonist of the film, Michael Edwards, said in an interview in 2016 that I actually very much hope to participate in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics as an athlete, but I will be 59 years old by then. If I can't participate, I also hope to be able to watch the Winter Olympics. This is also in line with the sentence in the movie, the Olympic spirit is not a genius-like skill, but a spirit of not giving up, nor a medal, but a focus on participation.
