"What victory is there? To hold on means everything." Austrian poet Rilke once said in his poem. A popular sentence on the Internet before, "We ordinary people, we have to do our best just to live" is actually somewhat similar to this poem, and it reflects the high pressure of young people nowadays. The general anxiety state of mind. Some people have a fluke mentality of living by themselves, hoping they can escape from the harsh test of life, while others have enough courage to face all the problems, go against the current, and finally blossom out of the dust tenaciously. Come. The movie "The Birth of a Legend", which will be released on September 7th, shows the audience the birth of the legendary Pele on the green field through an objective and cold narrative perspective. I believe that many people have heard more or less inspirational stories about Bailey when they were children. For example, because the family was poor, Bailey had the idea to tie socks into the shape of a football, in order to thank the coach for giving him a real In football, Pele ran to the coach’s yard on Christmas Eve and dug a Christmas tree pit for the coach... These stories are full of innocence and joy. However, the real reality is far more bleak than a few sweet short stories, especially when poverty is as entangled as a bone gangrene, and people are unable to breathe. "The Birth of a Legend" first focuses on Pele's childhood in a slum. Children from poor families are always precocious and sensitive. Little Bailey has been a shoe shiner since he was a child to subsidize the family. In his spare time, he and other friends play "sock ball" barefoot. But even if he was obedient and considerate like Pele, he suffered from the humiliation of life and the cold ridicule from the children of the rich family. Even his parents tried to make him give up this extravagant dream. Being soft and accepting one's fate are actually the helpless normal in life, but Bailey in "The Birth of a Legend" happened to hold on. He slowly and patiently picked up the scattered pieces of self-esteem, and continued to persevere without a sound. How many capable people in the slum children can conquer the sky? Bailey certainly understands this, but when a person makes up his mind without hesitation and chooses a long and irreversible road, there is actually no God who can shake his will and ambition. Before watching the movie, I originally thought that "The Birth of a Legend" would be an inspirational film that simply portrays the passion of a teenager, but the deep and rich family love scenes in the movie make people feel full of warmth. When the camera is switched to the perspective of the parents, you will see the poor man who was once smug, but is now defeated by reality: his father was disabled because of playing football, so he could only make a living by cleaning the toilet and other odd jobs, while his mother was in Japan. In the process of doing housework day after day, humility and meekness are sharpened. Character. After such a long time, it is inevitable to suspect that some of their own brokenness has caused the unfair treatment of fate, but despite this, after understanding Pele's football dream, they still choose to unconditionally and firmly support. The backing of family affection is so solid and warm, and even has the tenacity to inspire unlimited potential at the critical moment. "The Birth of a Legend" is definitely not done overnight. On the way to chasing dreams, everyone will experience countless small collapses and heartbreaks when they dream back at midnight. Bailey chose the right path and tried it. Lived, so he became Bailey and created a legend.
