The most classic football movie in history

I like "Escape to Victory" because it is an eternal football legend. This 1981 sports film jointly shot by the United States and Britain tells the story of a football team formed by a group of Allied prisoners of war during the Second World War, defeating the Nazi German team and crushing its conspiracy to thwart the morale of the Allied forces. This football blockbuster brings together a large number of stars: Michael Kane, Sylvester Stallone, the king Bailey, the football emperor Becken Bauer and a large number of football superstars who were so popular in the 1980s. As long as you like one of these factors, it is the reason you should watch "The Great Escape".

Hatch played by Stallone understands modern football based on the concept of American football. It sounds absurd, but it does not prevent him from becoming an excellent goalkeeper. Pele's joining has added a lot to the film. Although the king has retired for many years at the time, when it comes to the most familiar football in life, we still see his skilful skills and footwork. The biggest names in the film industry and football are clearly gathered together, and the film will remember this historical moment for a long time.

The Stade de France in Paris, France is destined to be a legendary place. Not only is it the filming location of the movie, but more than ten years later, it also witnessed the host raising the Hercules Cup here. Except for the supporters at the scene, all factors are detrimental to the Prisoners of War Alliance. This is a game of great disparity in strength since it seems. From a professional point of view, there was not much technical content in the first half of the game. The referee turned a blind eye to the rough German foul (the referee arranged by the German) and Stallone picked up the ball from the net four times. Fortunately, before the end of the midfield, the Prisoners of War United scored a goal, and the French people on the scene cheered.

At halftime, the resistance organization had dug a tunnel, which meant that the players could escape, but their determined eyes told the Stallone team to defeat the opponent and defeat the powerful Germans. Not only on the court, but also on the battlefield. If you leave now, you will lose more than just a game. The second half. The POW team appeared on the field as they wished, and they used their actions to tell the arrogant Germans that they were the real heroes. The next step is the time for the stars to perform collectively. Their cooperation and super personal abilities seem so magical to this day. The slow motion expressed everyone's respect. At this moment, it was in the psychology of German coach Schmidt. He was also a former player and loved football very much. When Bailey played with injuries and practiced several players, he hit a signature barb to tie the score. At this time, Colonel Schmidt couldn't help standing up and applauding, and the Nazi officers beside him were dumbfounded. At this moment, he transcended nationality, politics, beliefs, and religion, and sincerely admired great artists from the heart.

The German-controlled game is definitely a victory, and the referee gave the German a penalty at the last minute. The audience shouted "Victory" to cheer for the team and sang the majestic and passionate "Marseillaise". This is a belief and a spirit of resistance, no less than our "March of Volunteers." At the most critical moment on the court, everyone will be excited when they hear such an aggressive song. I finally understand how the French team sang this song in the finals and played the invincible Brazil team without a temper. From the head of state to the common people, with the backing of the entire country, why are the players not extraordinary? Play. Stallone withstood the pressure and saved the opponent's penalty kick. In terms of momentum, the POW team defeated Germany. The delighted players were as excited as having won the World Cup, and at this moment they told the Germans that they were fearless. The out-of-control French people broke through the layers of the German guards, flocked to the stadium, covered the heroes in their hearts and left the stadium. The players escaped in victory, the film ended, and their hearts were surging.

There is no other gorgeous special effects of similar themes, but the most sincere emotions are expressed.
