There is no principle in watching the ball

After a lapse of 44 years and a century, the Three Lions never dreamed that they would be in the cold South Africa, with an invalid goal, for their unsuccessful goal in 1966, and finally won the Remit Cup to pay the bill. . They faced the same opponent twice-Germany. At this time, the World Cup has been confined to the situation of World War II: France fell, Italy took the lead in surrendering, and England was finally defeated by the Germans in the struggle. It's just that the Germans have maintained their usual national gentleman demeanor, raising their right hand to pay tribute on the football field, which is a symbol of the cruelty of the Nazis.

English football in 1966 created their only glory in football history. After watching that goal that has been controversial until now was betrayed, their young captain Bobby Moore calmly clapped the dirt on his hands and took the Remit Cup from the Queen of England. The brilliance of English football. Turning to 1981, the retired England former national captain starred in the most beautiful football movie in film history-"The Great Escape".

When I was still playing waves, I watched "The Great Escape" and only remembered Stallone and Bailey.

Stallone would still laugh back then, with a hint of scorn in his laughter. Wear a tight-fitting white T-shirt, tight pants for the British Air Force uniform, with a covered trouser pocket at the front and no back pocket. Hungry, strong shoulders are thick. In the German POW camp during World War II, Hatch played by Stallone mixed with British, French and Dutch POWs and played football with them. He can't dribble and pass the ball, he can only hug the ball, he is an American and can only play American football. In fact, playing ball is just a pastime for him. He only has one thing in his mind, running away.

The German major in the POW camp is a fan, and he wants the Allied prisoners of war and the German Marines to play a game. As a result, the matter was expanded by politics and became a big event propagated by the Nazis to the whole of Europe during the war. Hatch is even more interested in the team. He has to join the team, even as an assistant coach or team doctor, because he knows the team can help him escape. Ghosts and gods, a lot of revolutionary responsibilities, human responsibilities, Hatch said that football has changed his life. He was arranged to flee to Paris to join the guerrillas, and then ran back to the POW camp to pass on the escape message. Because he was good at holding the ball, he also became a goalkeeper for the Allied POW team.

There was a lot of smoke in the ball game where Pele joined. Of course the black man in the movie is called Lewis and not Bailey. As he himself said, it's so troublesome to pass around, just need him as a little guy to get the ball This, this, this, go, easy! It's that way, it's that way, it's that simple. At the end of the movie, it was broadcast live. Black whistle on the court frequently clashes, and there are many stars joining. Seeing that dazzling, I only remember Stallone staring at the penalty kick with two drooping eyes and pushing the German aside: You lose! Remember Bailey really This, this, this, an upside down golden hook, go, easy! It's that simple! That luxurious goal made a great escape to victory. Instead of giving up the second half to go into the sewers, but surrounded by fifty thousand French fans, he broke through the German army's defense line and ran away.

When the smoke of the 2010 World Cup was in full swing, it was fitting to look back at this movie. The stadium is like a battlefield, and the winner is the king and the loser is the invader. The victorious are arrogant, and the defeated are downcast. When I was young, I watched a movie and watched a football game. The good guys in the movie must win, and we cheer. The game must be won by the side that we support, and we also cheer. However, watching a movie and watching football, I suddenly realized that I was a traitor, and I didn't even know which side to support. Of course, the good guy in the movie is still very happy when he wins, but a bad guy who has done his job so well will pay tribute to him in his heart. In the game, no matter which side scores, as long as it is wonderful, it will cheer. I'm such a bastard, being so unprincipled.

What is the principle? The principle is to play a beautiful football in the age of fear of war to achieve the state of politely winning with one shot and one shot!

    Although this film is a Hollywood-style commercial entertainment film, there is a real historical prototype behind it. The director adapts and beautifies the tragic events in the real world, integrates the superb skills of football players (most of the actors in the film are from real football players) into the compact plot, and uses this football game to reflect the shadow of World War II on the side, and The elements of prison escape and espionage have been added, which can be regarded as a certain entertainment. Although Michael Caine and Stallone have mediocre skills, they make up for the deficiencies with their tough guy charm. Similarly, real players such as Bailey are dazzled by them. The excellent ball skills make up for the rigidity of the characters and the weakness of the play.

    This is the best football movie I have ever seen, although a bit too romantic... it blends sportsmanship and humanity well.
