Football forever

"Where should I stand when kicking a corner kick?" Hatch asked.
"Don't worry about it," the coach said.
Yes, Hatch, no, it’s Stallone. He doesn’t have to worry about how to play that game, especially in Pele, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Adiles, Kazimierz Dina, etc. By the side of the star, he just needs to be his goalkeeper and don't attack easily.

"The Great Escape", like many World War II movies, set up a performance event (in this case a football match) arranged by the Nazis to "boost morale", as well as rescue by the Allies outside. There are masters in this (like the many stars above), and there must be a "rookie", such as Stallone's role. The most important thing is that in the core event of the story, the protagonists must show color, not simply run away, but also defeat their opponents in the performance. Many real superstars in the movie show extremely smooth cooperation, they are dancing, and they are surrounded by fierce knives. The first half fell behind 0:4, then the Jedi counterattacked, evened the score and overtook it. Bailey scored a real barb, and then Stallone saved a penalty. Tens of thousands of spectators poured into the arena, surrounded by players, and rushed to freedom. This is really a heroic escape. The real performance gave the audience an almost real game. In such a game, the audience really felt the courage of the players.
Bailey said when everyone was about to flee, "If we run away now, we will lose more than just one goal." Yes, what we lose may be our hope for victory and freedom.
Football is amazing. It is only a sport, but it has never been only a sport. The ball that people play with their feet is really a great way to challenge and surpass oneself.

Victory quotes

  • [Hatch has been told he has to return to the prison camp]

    Hatch: What am I supposed to do, break back into the camp?

    André - The French: No. You get captured.

    Hatch: Get captured. All right, suppose I get captured? And then they send me to the wrong prisoner camp. What about that?

    André - The French: No, no.

    Hatch: Now, what about that?

    André - The French: [tsks and shakes his head] The Germans will take you to the same place again to show the other prisoners you are not a success.

  • Renée - The French: [Hatch has asked how she feels about sheltering him] How do I feel? I feel responsible. Hopeful. When I get word that someone I sheltered is safe, then I'm happy. I can forget them. But when I hear that they've been caught or killed, then I remember everything. I remember their face, their voices, what they said about their parents, their child, their pets, and I mourn for them. I don't want to mourn for you.

    Hatch: Well, you're safe with me, Renée.

    Renée - The French: How?

    Hatch: Well, I'm, uh... an orphan, a bastard. I have no parents, no money, no wife, no children. I don't even have a pet. Anything I say in my sleep to the contrary can't be held against me.

    [Renée smiles]
