on the road of glory

As a post-90s generation, I really could not have imagined that the basketball world, now dominated by blacks, was so crowded out in the 1960s. In the 118-minute film, we see that black players are constantly being sidelined, even if they are faster than white players, they can only be a bench player; the audience is insulted, and even worse, the hotel they live in is in a mess, and the white man is pressed on the head. In the toilet, even the families of white coaches endure intimidation from extremists. But all this is not enough to let them quench their desire for basketball and prove their determination. The film restores the history at that time, interspersed with historical materials at that time, which increases the sense of heaviness and strength of history.
A lot of metaphors are used in the film to show that this group of blacks will finally realize their dreams and break the discrimination against blacks by white players. Especially in the championship match between the Miners and the University of Kentucky, the ball grab at the beginning of the game gave a close-up, and it was an upgraded shot. A powerful counterattack from the white players and the sideline commentator, or a slap in the face. Immediately afterward, Latin of the Miners team made a powerful dunk on Riley, the main force of the University of Kentucky, which made people even more excited. This shot was taken with an upward shot to show that Latin was particularly dazzling under the illumination of the spotlight, and he It's more like a rising star, and it also shows that Latin's dominance of the basket is not something that white players can shake. What I have to say is that within a dozen seconds of the end of the game, Joe broke the ball of the white team wildcats and fell uncontrollably on the side of the Kentucky coach. This scene used a close-up, and Joe was condescending. Looking at the coach, with confidence and arrogance, he was completely different from the one who was downcast the day before. A flash of light flashed at this time. This is a historic moment, which is worth remembering and proud of.
The music of the film is roughly divided into two types to set off different atmospheres, one is the fast-paced music on the court, and the other is the lyrical music when the coach and the players communicate privately. Although the music played on the court has no beginning and end, it is purely a climax, but it does not feel abrupt, and when combined with the picture, it feels more complementary to each other. Until now, the music played on the court is basically the same, which is very realistic.
The film showed the discrimination against black players at that time. Coach Hudgens said that self-esteem is in his heart. As long as we don’t admit defeat, no one can take it away. It can be seen from this that they are not only for dreams at this time, but more for dignity. As small as a person and a team, as large as a country and a famous family, they are all invincible when fighting for honor and dignity. This is a glorious road.
