——No! This
film is changed based on real events, and there is a real interview at the end of the film. Similar to "weakness", the same football, the same inspirational film, and different touches.
Sean, the protagonist played by "The Rock", made a mistake when he was young and was at odds with his father. It was football that saved him, rekindling his fighting spirit and loving life. Now he works in the juvenile management office. The prisoners here are some minors who made mistakes, including robbers, murderers, etc. They think they are abandoned by everyone and God, they think they are losers, and they don’t understand the team. Cooperate, don’t know how to care for them, only know that they are ganging up and fighting, until they meet Sean, a person who changes their lives...
Sean faces these astray young people every day and is troubled by them. He feels that juvenile delinquents are there. Under such an environment of imprisonment, it is impossible to change their minds and re-behave. What should be done after the expiration of the term and release. It is said that 75% of the juvenile detainees here will return to prison, and many will die on the streets. So Sean decided that they couldn't continue like this and let them fend for themselves, and had to do something. Encouraged by his elderly and seriously ill mother, he decided to train these juvenile delinquents into a football team.
Of course, this is a tricky task, self-defeating, aggressive and provocative, frustrated in the first battle... A series of setbacks tempered Sean and his "team", but Sean never gave up. He firmly believed that they could be changed, cheering again and again. Sparring training again and again. Finally, the team named "Mustang" (wild horses) made it to the final. Although they lost the game at 14:17, they gained something more important than victory-to change themselves. They no longer give up on themselves, they have goals, they have learned to teamwork, help each other, and change their minds. The end of the film shows that only five people have returned to prison for the team built by Sean, and most of the others have started a new life and embraced the world. What about Sean? Has he changed? Yes and no. He becomes more determined, and at the same time he will continue to change the life of juvenile offenders.
In addition, Dashi Johnson's performance in this film is very good! ~ Tie Han Tenderness
