Brog McEnroe

7.0 points

The first half of the plot is very exciting

Borg is obsessed with his tennis career like a religion

He repeats boring training like a clockwork machine every day.

He hates the media and hates attention outside the arena and hates dealing with fans

Even publicity based on public training will be uncomfortable

He only lives in his own tennis world

Love, social wealth, etc. are just his secondary considerations

McEnroe looks like a typical bad boy in the media

Scolding the audience to spray the referee and throw the racket

In the beginning, tennis was not all of him. He wanted to be recognized and paid attention to. Constantly defeating opponents on the tennis court was his source of motivation.

The two-line narrative unfolds very well. The personality contrast and psychological game between the two people form a kind of open and secret fights outside the stadium. Very compact and wonderful, giving people a feeling of 8 points.

It’s a pity that the middle part of the movie was so poorly processed that my impression of it fell to 5.5 to 6 points.

As the audience, when they see the middle of the movie, they want to see the plot go smoothly and continue to spread the contradictions and conflicts with the previous rhythm.

Because Borg’s paranoid character setting has been very successful in the front, McEnroe’s image of a bad boy has also been explained clearly.

But at this time, the film turns the contradictory sides into Borg and the coach and it covers the conflict between Borg’s childhood and the coach.

Not only that, it also brought out the question of why Borg was able to focus so successfully on tennis courts and why he could be as cold as an iceman through his childhood experience.

Finally, the coach simply reprimanded "you want me to teach you to play tennis in the future, you have to promise me not to be angry casually in the future, and to express feelings, I must calm down on the court and turn my anger and unwillingness to the racket" to answer the question.

It’s better to not shoot this part if it’s sloppy. It’s just a flashback. Borg was as impatient and irritable as McEnroe when he was a child.

Perhaps it is the problem of actor fit. It always feels that the coach played by Strand can’t form a good chemistry with Borg. The coach’s preaching seems very convincing here.

When the movie was also here, I was down in the front row. People stretched and beaten. Hitha...

Fortunately, the second half of the duel saved the viewing experience and the wonderful experience can reach 7 points.

Although the details are not as precise as the work done in the first half, for example, Tie-break (tie-break) needs to be explained through the on-site commentary and read the dialogue, and it is also drunk... It is possible to pass the training in the front like a wrestling dad. If the game explains these terms, these terms will be better than this. Way to deal with is much better

But in the end, Borg and McEnroe got a sublimation in the character's character through this duel and they also named the film title Brog McEnroe.

Faced with losing points, McEnroe no longer complained casually. Learned to be calm and calm just like when Borg grew up. Borg regained his confidence in the face of McEnroe’s rise and no longer doubted his abilities in the past.

The final result is no longer important. They have become very good friends after the game.

Finally, I really want to praise the performance of the two male protagonists. The eyes of the Swedish brother can bend everything!

    The cruelty of competitive sports is that the focus of the audience is always "who will be the champion of the next game"

    The growth of the two behind a world war, but LaBeouf's McEnroe seems to be a supporting role, with insufficient drama and depth

  • John McEnroe: You can't be serious! You can not be serious! The ball was on the line! Chalk flew all over, man. The chalk flew up! He saw it. That's why he's walking all over it. Everyone saw it was in. You cannot possibly call that out.
