A goal to become famous is the passion that football brings to people, the flash of the flash, the cheers of people all over the world, the worth and fame and fortune of hundreds of millions, this is the hegemony of the king who only relies on his own strength.
When the people watching the game all over the world shouted and cheered on the sidelines, perhaps this is the king's dream hidden in everyone's heart.
The film "Fame with One Goal" tells the story of a Latino young man named Santiago chasing his dream of football and becoming famous with one goal.
Accompanied by the passion of Brazilian music and the restlessness of the drums, the protagonist Sandiago appeared. Football has an unusual meaning for people in Latin America, as both a culture and a belief.
In the feast of sports, raw talent and physical ability are the only existences above worldly privileges, which is what inspires football.
Santiago Munez, a 10-year-old boy who smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border with his father and grandmother, brought only a football and a photo of the World Cup. This is a boy who loves football since childhood.
Growing up, Santiago's poor family lived on the fringes of Los Angeles society.
At the age when he should have been studying and growing up, Sandiago had multiple jobs: cleaning the gardens of the rich, being a car wash, cleaning the streets, and working in a Chinese restaurant, even among the equally marginalized Chinese community, Sang Thiago was also discriminated against and could only wash dishes in the back kitchen.
In such a desperate situation, Sandiago had a dream he dared not realize: to make football the whole of his life .
A brilliant performance in a football was discovered by British football scout Glenn, who pointed him to the direction of Newcastle Club in the United Kingdom to realize his football dream.
Newcastle St James' Park
The reason why a dream is a dream, the biggest challenge in realizing it is the questioning from reality.
"There are two kinds of people in this world, one is those who live in garden houses, and the other is us, who cut grass and wash cars for those who live in garden houses." "If I become a professional player, this can all change". "You're just following the car wash of the team, you're playing football, you're just playing in the park." "I don't know. Going to meet those people (football agents) will change everything."
- A conversation between Sandiago and his father
Sandiego's father is an ordinary man with a bit of sadness. It is still difficult to escape from the situation of poverty, and he shoulders the responsibility of a family.
For a man, there is nothing worse than the frustration of being abandoned by his own woman. Over time, the color of life became monotonous in this man's eyes. When there were more things on his shoulders to resist, the harder it was to look up at the illusory clouds in the sky.
"I know how to get better, buy a car, open my own shop, and everything else is a fantasy." The role of my father in the film represents everyone's choice when faced with a heavy reality.
The way to make a living said by my father, who is carrying the pressure of reality on his shoulders, is to be down-to-earth, and don't always dream and float to the sky.
For most ordinary people, dreams are buried deep in the heart or left behind forever. In the face of a compromised life, have another bottle of beer and get drunk on this fucking life.
After all, dreaming is a young person's business, or the beauty of youth lies in dreaming . When you know that you should wake up from the dream, you throw away the distant and unrealistic dreams and turn to the busy adult life.
In the working life after that, the only consolation is the ordinary things that I have in reality, and the pleasure of hating my dreams.
The pressure of reality is an impermeable wall . The longer you compromise on life, the thicker it becomes between you and your dreams. After the dream is realized, the brilliant light is too dazzling and close to illusory, like a mirage, out of reach.
Pursuing dreams or accepting reality, some people in this confusion do not realize that they are middle-aged, looking back and sighing with helplessness; some people are even more extreme and become the slayer of their dreams.
The father in the film, who suffers from the oppression of his responsibilities as a man, desperately hopes that his grown son can help him share this pressure. However, his son's dream shakes the stability in front of him, and challenges his belief in survival that he has endured over the years.
He is selfish to his son, or another man in the family. He ruthlessly suppresses his son's dream and deprives his son of hope. If there are more people to endure with him, he will feel a little pleasure in the identity of salted fish narrowly.
Dreaming is a joyful and daring thing . For the young Santiago, everything has just begun, and various factors of hope are lurking under the surface of a peaceful life.
His football dream, not only can be done, but also beautiful, and hopefully drag it into reality.
For ordinary people like San Diego, when the opportunity to realize a dream comes, you need to do your best to seize it. Just like San Diego to London, you need a train ticket to San Diego, a bus ticket to Mexico, and a plane ticket from Mexico to London.
Santiago is lucky. On the road of chasing his dreams, some people appreciate it, some people encourage him, some people overcome difficulties for him, and some people give him firm confidence.
The British star scout Gran, who has long since been dismissed, is undoubtedly a Bole in Sandiego's life. When you doubt that you dare not move forward, someone tells you with firm eyes: I believe you can do it ; when you are temporarily frustrated and want to go home, Gran fights for you a faint hope.
Gran set sail with Sandiago's dream, and assisted Sandiago into the sea when the ship ran aground .
The blow of growth is to constantly drill out of the original comfortable cover and have the courage to challenge your weaknesses in order to become the person who ultimately controls the ball on the court.
The pain of growing up is painful and happy, and Sandiago enjoys it. When football can justifiably become his whole life, that is when his dream will come true.
The protagonist of the movie will always prove himself at a critical moment. At the end of the movie, Santiago helped Newcastle successfully advance to the playoffs at the most tense moment and became a hero of Newcastle.
This is a pure dream-chasing movie, perhaps a little less inspirational. Chasing your dreams is simply overcoming external resistance, while inspiration is challenging your own insurmountable limits.
Santiago's obstruction by external forces is also with the help of external forces. Thanks to his athletic talent, he became famous with one goal. This is a carnival of geniuses, chasing dreams, and not letting one's talent disappear from the crowd, and the word talent is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Perhaps it is more practical for people with mediocre qualifications to run their lives on the ground. And what is the dream?
People still have to have dreams. When you cheer for Messi Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch in front of the screen, this may be the difference between you and the salted fish.
