What is the "shock" of the shock effect

In fact, I still want to talk about the Chinese translation of "shock effect" first. Since the film has not yet been released in China, it is unclear whether the final Chinese translation is this. However, I personally think that the literal translation of "concussion" will be better. Although "concussion effect" sounds a little bit higher, it will give people a feeling of unclearness, including when I didn't read the original English name. The so-and-so effect is thought to be a science fiction movie like the "butterfly effect". I feel that this movie has basically nothing to do with the "effect", so I think this Chinese translation is still open for discussion.
Talking a bunch of nonsense, it's time to get to the point. Concussion effect is essentially a biopic, adapted from real events. To be honest, it is really not easy to make a good-looking biopic. There are too many details to grasp, and the director's skill requirements are very high. The director of this work personally thinks that his skills are limited, and the work he produced cannot be said to be unsatisfactory. First of all, the overall plot of the movie tends to be dull. Although it is not drowsy, it is not fascinating. Originally, the male protagonist received a threatening call. I thought that he would be kidnapped next, but the result was just a threat. Are they really naive to think that a threatening call can make the male protagonist give up? Or they think that the male protagonist alone cannot make a big storm. Let's talk about the main line of the story, the male protagonist finally gave up Washington's hospitality and chose to stay in California. But everything he did was not in vain, the NFL eventually had to admit the connection between CTE and rugby. From this perspective, everything the male protagonist does is ultimately "shocked" the NFL. Therefore, in addition to the concussion, the concussion of the concussion effect also expresses the concussion of the male protagonist on the entire NFL. However, as concussion means, this is only a small change. As he saw in Washington, there are still many People are engaged in the sport of rugby, and he has not changed this trend. How to completely change? The vague answer is given in the film. Just as frequent concussions can cause CTE, if you want to cause a qualitative change, you must first change it quantitatively. It is not enough to rely on a shock point of the male lead. When more and more people in society become like the male lead, they become one shock point, which triggers a qualitative change, and society will change because of this. This is the so-called trend of history.
The director inserted a line of love in the film, which in my opinion is a failure. Having said that, I'm going to take out Xiao Lizi's "Blood Diamond" to talk about it. Both biopics have a love line, but in horizontal comparison, the love line in the shock effect is simply flatter than plain water. Also boiled water. And the most important thing is that this love line does not contribute to the main storyline (of course, if you think that the heroine’s one or two words of cheering and encouragement can be regarded as a boost to the plot, when I did not say it), it is free from the plot. Chicken ribs outside. I think it is possible to remove the line of love and talk more about what happened to rugby players. For example, taking the doctor as a main line, and then a specific rugby player as the main line, and finally the two lines meet to push the plot to a climax. This film does describe a lot of rugby players, but they are all soy sauce-playing roles. The portrayal of them is very simple. I admit that I can't remember any of this player after I watched it. The so-called elite is not too expensive. I think if the director can capture a specific player and describe it in detail, the effect may be much better.
After talking about the film, let's talk about the actors. In this film, Will Smith speaks a Nigerian accent of English (the time for practice should not be less) and dark skin (WS's skin is not so dark, the film should be makeup), as much as possible to restore him The role to be played, this kind of professionalism is also one of the reasons I have always liked him. For a three-star movie, I give one extra star for Will Smith's role. You can think of it as feelings.

    One of the best movies I've seen in years. The fact that the story is based on real events gives the movie a lot of extra points. As the title of the film, Concussion not only refers to the action of the players' heads hitting each other in rugby, but also alludes to the protagonist's persistence in the truth despite the impact of his career and life. Finding the truth in the scientific world requires seeking truth from facts, while finding the truth in the real world requires a brave and persistent heart.

    Pay attention to athletes, pay attention to neuroscience. What impressed me most after watching the film was this incident. Will Smith did not have a sense of existence. Perhaps this is a good movie, and it has achieved its fundamental purpose.
