This is the second time I have watched this 3.5-hour movie. Although I feel a little bit procrastinated, it does not affect the overall viewing experience. I still like it very much.

The film is the miserable life of the people under the colonial rule, and they are forced to pay double the tax even when there is no harvest. The earthy ground and numb people seem to be able to feel the depression across the screen. And hopeless. Under the humiliation and oppression, finally a young man bravely accepted the challenge of the cricket match and began to revolt. With a kind heart and firm eyes, Uncle Mi's shaping of this star of hope was very popular, and his deep eyes showed the light of self-esteem and self-improvement. A match, a bet, and a rebellion started in this way by this young man. The first half is mostly about the setbacks encountered by the youth and the difficulty of forming a team. The accusations of the villagers and the difficulty of finding the players seem to make the otherwise difficult game even more difficult. Fortunately, the perseverance and the help of the British girl Elizabeth, Finally, I successfully formed my team and started emergency training. The second half is the team’s increasingly good performance and the most exciting part of the game. Of course, I can definitely guess that the ending is happy, the end of the three-day fierce competition. With the success to draw a successful end, the last downpour and the withdrawal of the colony are probably the big eggs, adding icing on the cake to the ending.

I deeply remember a scene where a handicapped person could throw a spinning ball. Lafan invited him to participate in the ball game, but everyone repelled and insulted him because of his status as a pariah. When Lafan’s hand was on his shoulder, everyone All of them exclaimed. After Lafan's remarks, everyone embarrassedly accepted the so-called untouchables, and that is, he played a key role in the end. I remembered that rejecting untouchables first can reflect people’s narrow ignorance. They dare not resist the strong but only bully the weak. Sadly, and when everyone accepts him into the team, it is not only forced by the form, but also broken through the solidified thinking. This moment , It is more rare than victory. If there is an open mind to be kind to others, will victory be far away?

If people have self-respect and self-improvement, God will help them! Nothing can't be done, only unexpected. I think this can also be said to be a film that keeps digging into human nature and discovering that human nature is recovered. One person, two people, the whole village, the whole province, and even more, because the common interests break the prejudice. Eliminate prejudices, unite and help each other bravely to resist. An apology and a hug are glues that tightly connect each other's hearts. As a result, a person's determination and confidence gradually spread to each individual individual, and finally a large area of ​​anticipation and protection is formed. The success of sweating with all your strength is so precious. The awakening of human nature helps to increase national self-confidence. Perhaps the rising buds are quietly growing.
