GOAL?

Football - what do you think of when you see this little black and white ball? Is it the beautiful play on the narrow streets full of clothes in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, or the wonderful dribbling on the leafy land of Europa? Or is it the crazy cries of the Bernabeu fans? rogue? High salary? Beauty?

No, no, not at all.

is a dream.



I'm surprised the writers chose a Mexican background for San Diego, living in America - a country crowded with basketball, baseball, football, and even, football isn't even called football here.

Santiago, who grew up in this land, loves football madly. He has a beautiful ball, but here, it does not attract many girls for him. All dream inspirational movies start with a broken guy don't they? This guy who likes to throw eyebrows at beauties who drive Mercedes-Benz sports cars is in line with the talents of all the protagonists of inspirational films.

When I watched the movie, I made a big mistake. I was used to the protagonists in "Team Football" and "The Prince of Tennis" who said that he actually regarded this movie as a comic. You know this and inspirational There are too many differences in movies. To put it simply, the characters in the comics amaze the audience with their amazing skills from the very beginning, but in inspirational movies, you have to get used to the protagonists slowly climbing to that level. The height of contempt, in fact, Santiago is not contemptuous.

Such a character is more flesh and blood, plus his grandma, and that father - examples of this can also be found in countless inspirational films, brother, scout. His road to fame was bumpy. The director arranged several times of refusal to tempt the audience, but Santiago still stumbled to success.

The film also presents the corrupt life of the famous star, the car, the beauty, the party... everything is easy to drag from the stadium to the nightclub and then drag his legs. It's a pure dream show - Santiago has a choice - to stay with his father to take over his business - and the boy gives his dad this rant: it's your life , not mine!

And so, Santiago's road to fame began, and the good news is: it started to be known that he was an assist, then a goal; what drove him crazy was an assist, and then a goal. This Lengtouqing, who started to be a little sticky, grew up like this. Until his father said, "Look, that's my son!" Grandma said, "Look, that's my grandson!" Brother said, "Look, that's my brother!" And Mr. Scout said, "Look, that's my grandson!" , that's the player I signed!"


Oh


, the arrangement of these things has laid a solid foundation for the film, and Director Cannon made a very pure inspirational film, or, as an inspirational film, it lacks nothing.





It's just... using dreams to make bones.... a little




less shocking.
