This may be the reason why many people like movies and sports

[If film is a dream-making machine, then the pursuit of higher, faster, and stronger competitive sports provides a steady stream of material for this machine. From "Chariot of Fire" to "Escape to Victory", from "Rocky" to "Angry Bull", outstanding sports-themed movies have come out in every era. ]

Despite the film's creative background sports theme is different each time, but the story reflects the universal values of humanity is interlinked. The last moment of the lore, the reversal of the soul-stirring, and the courage to challenge the boxing champion, these have become the reason for the audience to boil in front of the big screen.

It's just that most sports-themed movies, especially those with teenagers as the protagonist, the director prefers to complete the shocking reversal through the last-minute lore. The prince and princess have lived happily ever since and have become the routine of many youth sports movies. However, this is not the case in the real world, because you can't win the game with your best efforts, because there is no such thing as it should be in this world. Therefore, it is very lucky to be able to see a movie like "Victory Light". The protagonists of the story who entered the finals as dark horses still lost the game after they ran more distances than their opponents, were beaten to the head by their opponents, and were exhausted. A movie that seems to be about losers, in the end, everyone has never failed.

Among many ball games, American football is most suitable for filming. Every time you pause, you can make a wonderful segment. When these wonderful elements are combined, it forms a perfect movie-watching experience.

Choosing the American football theme, "Light of Victory" is half of the success, although the shaky shots will make the audience a little dizzy, but it adds a bit of the taste of live events. The director's new approach to focus the story on the growth of the protagonists and the relationship with family and friends has really made the film stand out from many sports-themed movies.

From our daughter’s inquiry, we learned that the head coach Gary Janes and his family have been living in an unsettled home, and they should have been fired many times before coming to the town. From the cries of Bobby Miles in his uncle’s car, we learned that this seemingly arrogant boy was playing hard because he wanted to buy a house for his uncle who grew up. From Don Billingley's crazy search for the championship ring, we learned that this boy who often cries, always cares most about not letting his father down. From Mike Winchel’s inquiry about the distance from the university to the town, we learned that the team captain was most concerned about the neurotic mother. It is such a small-town high school football team with a lot of troubles that almost won the championship in Texas. They faced an opponent with nearly ten quasi-professional league players.

The pursuit of victory and championship is the driving force of competitive sports, but there is still a little time that belongs to the loser. Because being able to stand in the final arena and fight to the last minute with an opponent several times stronger than yourself is already a victory for our protagonist. And the best story I've heard is this way-the princess is dead, and the young man who slays the dragon is still burning.

Many years later, some people became surgeons, some became truck drivers, and some became lawyers. For the rest of their lives, they would hardly have any intersection with rugby, but the memory of the 17-year-old is the most perfect existence, because "the pursuit of Perfection has nothing to do with getting high scores, it has nothing to do with winning or losing. It is the relationship between you and yourself, your family and friends. The pursuit of perfection means that when you look at your friends’ eyes, you know that you have not let them down. Because you The facts tell them. And the fact is that you have done your best and you have spared no effort. At that moment, can you face your friends with clear eyes and sincere love? If you can do this, Then you are perfect."

    7/10. The sports theme is very well-organized from the characterization to the plot arrangement, the color of the face painting is exquisite, the sound cuts are boiling intense, in short, the thick popcorn blockbuster has a visual sense, but as a non-rugby fan, it did not make me watch it very enthusiastically, although the ending Finally let the protagonist sit on the bench for a while, but the theme is still about unity and growth. The stylized routine makes the key moments such as tossing a coin to be eliminated without suspense, and the sensationalism is just enough to be used as a propaganda advertisement.

    A typical American football inspirational film, giving it a 5 because it suddenly resonated with the film. The goal of our life's struggle does not necessarily need to be achieved, just like a burning candle, not just to burn ourselves, but to illuminate others and bring warmth. Our lives should be accumulated and buried, so that after many years, it can be tasted as an old wine.
