After watching the movie, I have some questions. For example, did the white coach and the black player become friends? Can Jesse really avoid poverty after winning the championship? From my personal point of view, I think it is very likely that blacks will be used to win the championship. After all, the skin color at the time It is his true color, and his poverty has only been temporarily shaken off.
There is still a certain gap between the biography and Owens’ own real experience. For example, Owens has never been invited by the White House. The real Jesse mentioned that “Hitler did not neglect me. When I passed the rostrum, he waved to me. Compliments, and it was Roosevelt who had a big prejudice against me. He didn't even send me a telegram to congratulate."
At the end of the film, it is mentioned that Jesse Owens got a job as a policeman at his school after being unemployed for many years. The main reason for his brilliant achievements but not making money mainly includes personal factors: "He is a super old smoker." Gun, smoking for 35 years until his death at the age of 66, to some extent he killed himself alive; his thinking was a bit naive. After the Olympics, when other athletes were all relying on running skills to make money around the world, he returned to China for development. The so-called unformed personal career ended up in trouble; he was a poor worm, he was racing against cars, motorcycles, dogs, and horses to earn income in order to survive; he was even politically confused. As an American, he felt Hitler was better than Roosevelt. Okay, although Roosevelt did not send him a congratulatory message."
In general, there is a certain distance between the real biographical story and the movie, but Jesse's sportsmanship is also worthy of our admiration and learning.
Lastly, the main purpose of blacks participating in sports competitions is mostly to get rid of poverty.
