I wrote a film review for the first time because the number of words in the short review was too few. Sorry for my tears.

This is the last words of the coach to encourage the players, which is very touching. "They don’t get up at dawn and work in the fields like you do, do they? They don’t have to finish a day of school and then go back to work in the fields, and like you, you run 13 kilometers, 16 kilometers with me, and you bear it. More painful, these children are not like you. They can’t imagine that they went to work in the fields with your Diaz’s house that day. To be honest, it was the hardest day I have ever experienced. I said to myself, “No matter. What a bad job I do will not be so difficult.’ You live like this every day, and your parents hope that they can live like this every day, and if it means that it will bring you a better life, they will live forever. It's all like this. You are superman. Everything you have experienced to come here to compete and fight for the championship, and this advantage is taken for granted by people like me. With such strength and courage, there is nothing we can't do. Yes, you have the strongest heart I have ever seen, Now go run your race." (Hand-strike)
I think this sentence can be summed up as the best ladder of tribulations and difficulties to success. I have been moved time and time again by the American dream and by the brilliance of human nature. Ironically, the Chinese dream that is hung in the mouth of leaders and hosts every day, I feel that it is far away from me.
McFarlane, said in the film as the poorest area in the United States, is full of warmth. Longing.

McFarland, USA quotes

  • 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.

  • Maria Marisol: Welcome to McFarland, Blanco.
