It's purely personal.

Today, I took 2 friends to the theater two to watch the Flying Eagle Eddie, because I was lucky enough to be selected by the official to go to the Beijing meeting, so this is the third time I have watched this film, but I still watched it with tears. , Moved deeply.
Everyone is sighing about the schedule and scheduling issues. It is true. There are very few people to watch twice in a row. The first time is equivalent to a charter, and today we have only 5 people. The two friends on the side watched very deeply, and one of them was nervously holding my hand all the time. The three of us laughed together, felt distressed together, moved together, cried together, and clapped together at the end. It feels like going back to the day of the premiere.
Inspirational sports movies, the plot may be clichéd but inspirational enough. The protagonist is one of our thousands of ordinary people, with mediocre qualifications and constant setbacks. But he is different from thousands of other ordinary people. He has dreams and is willing to fight for it. Even if his final grade is the last one, who is qualified to laugh at him?
The first time I watched it because I like to star in Taron, and I am willing to go through it like this, half of it is for Taron, and the other is for Eddie in reality. I still remember that at the meeting in Beijing, he smiled and answered the reporter’s question, saying that he was living in a mental hospital because the rent was cheap, and there was no money to hire a coach, so he could only get help from many people. Someone gave him food. . Such a hard life, and I think he must have fallen many times because of training, and he can feel the pain across the screen. He really suffered a lot back then. But he finished talking with a smile, as if these sufferings were insignificant, telling the truth how many people can persist like him. I'm so happy that he finally succeeded.
There are a lot of things I like in the movie: for example, the cookies sent by Eddie’s mother and the phrase where are you going? For example, the last sentence of the Finnish brother in the elevator: the whole world is watching us, if we don't go all out, we will know how to cut it, and we will all our lives. For example, the part where Uncle Hugh trained Eddie. There are also many very cute Talens: wipe the fog on the glasses, the BGM is very burning when driving the car, and he drank a sip of milk. When he fell asleep in the car, Uncle Hugh shocked him and he was awakened. , Wearing a small suit to the Olympic Committee to inquire about the situation of snow jumping on the high platform, said that it was a pity that and the cheering jump that came out from behind, I twisted my foot at the end. There are also many moments that make me want to cry, such as the close-up of the camera in the car after the failure, and the constant sadness on my face makes me feel distressed, such as when I am not qualified to be SAY NO, such as When he finally denied his intention to give up. Such as the last jump, when he called out. For example, at the end of the screen freeze the sentence: The important thing in the Olympic Games is not the winning but the taking part. The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
On the way back, the little friend said with deep emotion that if he can persist, he will achieve something now. I think this is also the charm of this movie. After you watch it, you can feel something, think about some problems, and learn something. All in all, this movie is really great! Suitable for friends of any age to see!

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.
