Eagle Eddie

This movie fully tells us that in order to be successful, you must not only have a strong interest, but also have a coach who can no longer be awesome to teach you. He never understood that a true Olympics was not just about a God-given skill set. It's about never giving up, no matter what. (He never understood that a true Olympics was not just about a God-given skill set. The best innate skills, but no matter what happens, don’t give up.) The same applies to other industries. In the end, Eddie did not win the Olympic medal, which is quite unexpected, but this is also Phoebe's perfect interpretation of Coubertin's "The most important thing in the Olympics is not victory, but participation; the important thing in life is not triumph, but struggle" is the phrase. Let me attach another thing I found, Eddie will not be able to participate in the competition in the future, because after this world, the Olympic Committee stipulates that the top 50 or the top 30% of the world should be ranked.

It's been a long time since I watched this type of heart-washing inspirational film. It's not bad to watch it occasionally.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Eddie Edwards: I just thought we could have a little chat about me being an Olympic ski-jumper.

    Bronson Peary: You've more chance of being a ballerina than a jumper.

    Eddie Edwards: Good one. I was juts after a few tips, really.

    Bronson Peary: Give up, there's one for free.

  • Bronson Peary: [showing Eddie the models of the different ramps] I felll in love with this sport, man. It started with this little baby. This 15 metre little vixen. You manage to land that because it's meant to hook you into the sport, right, so otherwise you wouldn't even bother trying. The 40 meter, when you stack you get bruised, which I don't have to explain to *you*.

    Eddie Edwards: [chuckles] Sorry.

    Bronson Peary: The 70 metre, you break bones and you're lucky if you can walk again. The 90 metre. The goddess. Let's just say in the Wild West we'd be measuring you for your coffin before you even reach the stairs. Never forget that, kid.
