Phoenix, reborn from the ashes; Manchester United, also, rebirth from the ashes.
As for the crash of 1958, you who care about the history of football must be aware of it. This film reproduces that scene again in the form of a BBC TV series!
The focus is on the fledgling Bobby Charlton at the beginning of the year and the then Manchester United assistant Jimmy Murphy (Jimmy Murphy).
As one of the young players of "Busby Baby", Bobby Charlton carried forward the spirit of other outstanding players who died in the plane crash.
Looking back at the plane crash, 23 people died in the plane crash. Twenty-three people, including Duncan Edwards, who was nicknamed Jaguar, Tommy Taylor, the most valuable of the year, and captain Roger Byrne, all died in the crash. Of the ten people who survived, only four can continue to play. Faced with the tragedy, Jimmy Murphy was not defeated. He quickly formed a new Manchester United team to participate in the next game and the FA Cup final in 1958.
Reappearing the history of the Red Devils:
For Manchester United fans, the Munich air crash in 1958 was the darkest day in the club's history. But coach Busby and Charlton, guard Fox and other young players who crawled out of the ruins reorganized the team. Ten years later, Manchester United defeated Benfica led by Eusebio 4-1 and won the Champions League for the first time. After the game, Busby raised the trophy he fought for eight times-representing the eight players who died in the air crash. He read the player's name aloud every time.
Such an inspirational and struggling story touched everyone-including the film's starring and producer. David Tennant, who played Jimmy Murphy in the play, said: "I am not a fan, but when I got the script, I knew it would be a script worth reading. Because I worked with the screenwriter, The directors have worked together. Unsurprisingly, this is a great script. In the story, we followed Manchester United to unfold an incredible history of revival. I think the whole story is inspiring and magnificent. Moreover, Such a story will not receive any bad reviews, because the outlook on life and values in it are positive. After reading the script, I decided to join the crew."
In fact, Manchester United has a very long history of revival. It took the team ten years to get out of the quagmire of the plane crash. It is obviously not realistic to talk about the revival of a team in two hours. The film’s producer, Julia Stannard, said: “This is a story about how a team regained confidence and came out of disaster. And that Manchester United back then had too many legendary players. Survived. Charlton and Duncan Edwards, who were killed, were all superstars. If these players weren't killed, I really don’t know what the current world football situation would look like. We made this movie not to remember the players and the plane crashes. . But I hope people can draw strength from it and regain confidence. We filmed it to express our praise for the courage and confidence of Manchester United at that time. The history of Manchester United deserves our respect. "
Faced with this drama that demonstrates the British people's tenacious struggle and unyielding spirit, the media gave a very positive evaluation!
"The CGI version of Old Trafford Stadium looks more real than the real one. The performance and skills of the young actors are very good. Especially worth mentioning is the performance of David Tennant. His performance is enough to shock. everyone - daily Mail
filming very delicate, but also exposed the many differences between then and now football is football the whole film can be said to be an exciting, of course, if it is moving. You didn’t cry, that only means that you are a more cruel guy than me. —Guardian
critics did not regard this film as an authentic “sports film” because we hardly saw the director filming it. A scene where the game is restored.
Because what the British want is to portray the spirit!
Director James Strhuang said: "The theme of this movie does not take place on the court, so it is not a sports-themed movie. What I want to tell is the growth and maturity of a group of young players, of course. , And the painful journey between them and the elderly. I think this is a more meaningful thing. If you want to watch the history of Manchester United and the story of Manchester United, you should watch the documentary of Manchester United. And the movie must have the theme and A touching plot. The way I use is to focus on two people and use their relationship and mentality changes to show the story of the team in this big era and the big background." Szhuang chose the team assistant. Jimmy Murphy and young Bobby Charlton. He said: "Charlton is a well-known big star, and Murphy is regarded as a behind-the-scenes hero. After the air crash, Murphy did a lot of effort for the entire club. It was his determination and persistence that made Manchester United The team continues to operate. The relationship between him and Charlton is not well-known, so we focused on digging out their relationship and using the changes in the relationship between these two individuals to show the fate of the entire team. I think this can be called a From this perspective, the theme of the film is not too much connected with football. It tells an inspirational story. "
Although the BBC only invested 2 million pounds in the film, the ambition and motivation aroused, Hundreds of times this!
We also hope that seeing familiar events around us can be so spiritually inspired by shooting!
People need a spirit too much!
