Another sports inspirational film

Every year there is such a sports inspirational film in the United States. Last year's "Millions of Golden Arms", this year the United States launched "McFarlane", the true story of the 1980s, these coaches and athletes are still alive, and the end of the film appeared. This one set aside the popular American football, baseball, basketball, golf, boxing, racing and other sports, and chose the unpopular subject of cross-country running. The coach is also a half-way monk. It turned out to be an American football coach and the students are all Mexican. The two-hour movie is not dull, not preaching, bright, and touching. It's really not easy. On the other hand, we have so many good themes, the older women’s volleyball team, Ma Jiajun, Li Ning, etc., the newer Ding Junhui, Li Na, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, etc., which will all be inspirational stories. Learn from others without the correct leadership of the party and the people. The care and so on are all from the coaches and the athletes themselves to dig out the connotation, in the choice of personal gains and losses, how to choose the players with a discerning eye, how to do ideological work, let the athletes trust the coach, etc., there are family concepts, races, etc. Contradictions, honours, rich and poor, problematic teenagers, etc., are rich in content. Slowly use details to convince and move the audience. How can such a film not have a high box office?

Maria Marisol: [reading Jose Cardenas's paper] We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves, floating on a warm wind. When we run, we own the earth. The land is ours. We speak the birds' language. Not immigrant no more. No stupid Mexicans. When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods. When we run, we are the gods.
