A lot of film critics think that this movie is preaching, but I think it should be viewed from a different angle. The most important thing for Americans to make movies is cultural export. Inner peace, American Dream, Patriotism, etc. are all eternal themes. In China, the movies made by famous directors and screenwriters with large-scale architecture and large-scale production, but your three The view is like shit. From this point of view, the theme of "Facing the Giants" is very clear and worth learning. At least people can clearly say what they want to say. This is human ability.
1. About Faith
When the male protagonist is on the verge of collapse, at this time we know that it is time for him to create a miracle - in martial arts novels, you get a martial arts secret book, and after pig's feet practice, you will continue to write the story of his bitterness and hatred - But he relied on faith. Some people say that I don't believe that God can bring miracles at all, which is too evil. In fact, no matter what you believe in, Buddha, God, Allah, Renquan, Marxism-Leninism, Zuxun... They are your inner strength and the driving force that supports you to move forward. When you are desperate and helpless, they make you think, Bring you peace, take you out of the haze, towards the light. Under the power of faith, you will gain unprecedented courage and conviction, and face your own fears and unknown destiny gently and firmly. In contrast, people who have no faith and who do not know that they do not have faith are the most terrifying. They do not understand what to do and what not to do. Those who obey me prosper, those who disobey me die, and finally dig their own graves. Please refer to Criminals, Dictator, king of the country.
It is not shameful to have faith. For many years, many people have always written such an equation in their hearts: Faith = Religion = Superstition = Nonsense = Nervousness = Far away. In fact, they completely ignored the power of faith before it was demonized. Bring love, change, purity, light, and peace to people. This is the meaning of "firm and lofty ideals and beliefs" often said in the Eight Gugu of Party Building. Unfortunately, GCD only allows Marxism-Leninism and other guiding ideology as beliefs , while instructing countless writers to make difficult and obscure words to whitewash them, and at the same time use "atheism" to suppress other beliefs-because beliefs are exclusive.
2. About love
All beliefs point to one word: love, love yourself, love your parents, love your family, love your friends, love life, love everything around you, even if it is as difficult as Marx and Lenin, I hope everyone will love the revolutionary cause and colleagues. After the transmission of faith, most people have a common consciousness. When you bring love to others, others also give back to you in the same way. How can such a world not be beautiful?
Grant saw the team's poor performance and roared in disappointment: I'm fed up with you indifferent people! Apathy, no love, is not a qualified team, a team without faith, no goals, no love, no chemistry, how can it be good? In the past, it was only a high-level player who maintained the team. Relying on him, the team’s record was still lingering, and Grant’s crisis was not so serious. When this person left, the whole thing collapsed. How is it so similar to the 2010 Cavaliers. A coach is the soul of a team, his thoughts, his methods, his encouragement, his support, his decisions and his deployments affect the entire team. The weight of the team without a win, layoffs, and infertility made him feel the pain, and he changed his way of thinking through a dialogue with God.
Grant's previous failure was that it did not pass love, but directly provided love (I couldn't find the right word at the moment). Although trust and encouragement are useful, they have little effect, and the concept of faith is not deeply implanted. In everyone's mind, the team lacks core cohesion. Later, the core players left the team, and through the successful "death crawl" of designated players, they directly established their personal prestige and successfully shaped the team leader, and then aroused the love in everyone's heart through the preaching of missionaries, and the team began to take on a new look. The team has fresh energy, the players are full of fighting spirit, and everyone trusts each other to make the playoffs all the way to the championship - so we finally know why insurance companies are so good at demagogic people, it turns out that they have a set of brainwashing and Marketing system - Based on the above reasons, we can reasonably look forward to the Lakers after Kobe Bryant's retirement.
As a digression, James' "decision" in 2010 caused him to leave the Cavaliers and join the Heat. In the finals of the first season, he lost. He endured the criticism that lasted from 2010 to the summer of 2012. In the 2011~2012 season, James finally won the first championship and finals MVP of his career, so the verbal criticism became an overwhelming ode! His unremitting efforts enabled him and his team to win consecutive championships in the 2012-2013 season. In an interview, James said, in 2012, I played with hate, the more boos on the road, the harder I shot, but in 2013, I played with love because I wanted me and my team. can get better.
3. About Love and Faith
Everyone has a Grant Taylor in their hearts, but not everyone can praise God when they succeed and praise God when they fail like Grant. There are many hardships in human life, and they are destined to end up before they can leave. Some people have no faith and no love, so they did not persevere to the end just because of the hardships in front of them, and they missed the beautiful scenery of life, which is very regrettable. Grant has a wife who loves him. No matter whether he is poor, sick, suffering, or down, he will never leave him. When Grant bows his head and is depressed, his wife's affectionate "I love you" resolves everything - love is one This kind of belief, I hope that every couple of lovers can eventually become dependents, and I hope that every couple of dependents can grow old, staring at each other in the morning light, and hugging each other in the sunset.
With love, with faith, friends, I wish you happiness!
