Director: Ken Lodge
Starring: Steve Iverts
This is of course not a masterpiece by Ken Lodge, but it is fun and friendly and friendly This is also a rare commercial success in Ken Lodge's directorial career. No one will complain about his good box office results. ———Peter Bradshaw ("Guardian")
Ken Lodge perfectly captures the feeling of football and the need for hope, a dazzling work that touches people's hearts and is cheerful and lively. —— Nev Pierce ("Empire Magazine")
This is a comedy made by Ken Lodge, a standard healing movie, and a wonderful movie that supports Cantona and belongs to Manchester United fans. The ending is even more complete. Unexpected.
First, Kusturica teamed up with Maradona, and this time Ken Loach teamed up with Cantona. The veteran director and the big-name star have the same temperament and passion, and football movies are full of charm. "Looking for Eric" (Looking for Eric) is different from the previous works of Ken Rocky. It can be said to be a comedy, but there are still union groups and social conflicts in it. This is another standard healing movie. With the help of the non-existent mirror image, the protagonist finds himself. In the end, it is still a wonderful movie that supports Cantona and belongs to Manchester United fans. It contains classic moments on the green field, and the ending is completely unexpected.
Eric Bisop is a frustrated old postman, bleak; he can't face his ex-wife, can't manage his adopted children, and his family life is incomplete. The beginning of the film is that he was spinning around in a drag racing, and he had a car accident. Eric was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and became irritable; he was so angry that he put "f××k" on his lips, but rough words could not solve any problems. On the contrary, he was deep in cowardice and helplessness, unable to extricate himself. . Eric worshipped Manchester United star Eric Cantona infinitely, the "king" with mixed reputation but omnipotence in the eyes of the world. One day, when Eric muttered to Cantona’s poster on the wall, a voice came from behind: What about you?
Born from fantasy, a person who is impossible to appear suddenly enters another person's life. This kind of movie is really not new. "Looking for Eric" does not deliberately disguise Cantona's identity, everyone can understand that he is just an illusion. Cantona's words are only Eric's imagination. By looking for another Eric, Eric Bishop finally found himself. Cantona asked Eric to be bold, say No to things that are uncomfortable, and not always live in self-blame, difficulties will always pass. Eric followed his advice, changed his image, exercised, loved his work, and treated his relatives well... He reached a reconciliation with his ex-wife, and his adopted son also understood his father’s painstaking efforts. The story stepped to the envisioned vulgarity and a happy ending. It seems to be about to appear. I don't want to leave a clue about the possession of guns in the front, leading the movie to a highly dramatic ending. It can be said that more than half of the praise for "Looking for Eric" is completely derived from this. When everyone started to take action, we vaguely saw the familiar Ken Rocky, his indignation and jokes. It is innocent and acceptable to use the human way to treat the human body. Such teasing and violence are harmless and acceptable.
"Those who foresee all dangers will never be able to sail", "Those who are afraid of throwing dice will never be able to roll six points", "The noblest revenge is forgiveness"... Cantona continued his simple and concise style and said many proverbs, for a time. It also caused Eric to respond angrily: I haven't recovered from the seagull's bird problem, don't always use your proverb to talk about things. I say this to remind everyone that after the subtitles are released, do not walk away. Ken Lodge will reproduce the classic scene of Cantona's "Flying Incident" conference --- Do you know why seagulls follow the fishing boat? Don't worry, Cantona will give you an unforgettable answer.
