Strictly speaking, "Bronze Medal Superstar" is not a pure sports movie, invincible vulgarity, fancy gymnastic sex, suicidal fattening training, wicked girl, daddy, blinking, beer belly gymnast, alternative character set And the plot has long moved the focus of the narrative away from the arena, but we still can’t deny that perhaps this is the coolest sports movie this year, and it’s a difficult sex scene. It’s only natural that this movie won the gold medal.

Sports movies are definitely not a prolific and best-selling genre in the world of cinema. Sports movies that target women are even less popular. For a long time, sweaty players and full-faced boxers have almost taken over. All screens have become a symbol of sports movies.

With the rise of the feminist wave, the female athletes walked out of the boudoir and went to the front of the screen, such as "Million Dollar Baby" and so on. However, in the film, women still play a secondary role. Even if they are the protagonists in the arena, they will inevitably be accompanied by male coaches. "Bronze Medal Superstar" is really valuable in this respect, and it thoroughly gives women enough voice in the film.
"Bronze Medal Superstar" completely subverts the gender power in traditional sports movies. The three most important roles in this film are set as: waste material father, winking dick, and scumbag with a devil in his body. In any case, these three characters can't lead the development of the plot. The female characters are really cool in the film, and they are too addictive.
As a sports film, "Bronze Medal Superstar" shows the deviation of this type of film in recent years. Comparing the Japanese sports film "Hundred Dollars of Love", which also takes women as the protagonist, the traditional sports film from which both films are separated takes the arena as the main scene, and the classic narrative mode of the narrative context is the victory of the game. Both films focus on the depiction of female characters and life, and they coincidentally show the same inspirational story of diaosi counterattack.

Unlike the messed up Ando Sakura in "Hundred Dollars of Love", Melissa Rauch, the "Bronze Goddess" in "Bronze Medal Superstar", is punk all the way to the end, perhaps this also shows that the East and the West are "non-mainstream". Understanding of this vocabulary. The "Hope" in the film is simply a gymnastics version of "Deadpool". The beginning of "F" is flying all over the sky. It is a must-see film to popularize swear words abroad.
As a sports film, the protagonist is not the athlete who will be on the field, but the coach. The film’s performance on the stadium is mostly “freehand” treatment, and the upgraded shots are not lacking in aesthetics. In the final analysis, they are deviant from traditional sports movies. Most of the film's time is used to show Hope's idleness and bad conduct at the scene. If the whole film was a competition process for Hope, then it was discovered that her real stadium was the difficult gymnastic sex scene in the hotel. I don’t know how many people rushed to watch the movie. I have to say this. It is definitely the dream of countless boys and girls.

This is a deviant film, and it is also a film that rectifies the name of the "blonde" in American movies. The blonde Hope is not a vase, but the hammer that broke the vase. Compared with the brilliant and dazzling characters, the film's narrative is slightly old and stale. I thought that Hope could break the inspirational routine of traditional sports films with his own power. Same as "Hundred Yuan of Love", although it is not like a conventional inspirational film, it finally succeeds. In the end, it either loses the game or loses the bet, but it still reaps love. The narrative is inadequate and weakened. The tension of the film.

"Bronze Medal Superstar" also has one of the most shining points. The "Stars and Stripes" has become a ubiquitous visual symbol in the film. I have no intention to point out that this is a manifestation of American will. I just lament why Americans can make an extremely politicized one. The symbol of "is so fashionable in the film, so undisturbed. From team uniforms to cups, from tattoos to bed sheets, the stars and stripes have become a decoration, a code word, and a bright visual language. On the contrary, we can't imagine how our national flag can participate in the film without any sense of disobedience. The transmission of national ideology in the film is already a cliché that everyone scorns, but we still haven't achieved perfection. In this regard, just like in "Bronze Medal Superstar", Maggie defeated the Chinese team in the game to win the gold medal, we are convinced that we lose.

As a film supported by a "blonde girl" with the story of winning the Olympic "gold medal", I am willing to award it a gold medal.

  • Stan: Hello?

    Hope: Hey, it's me. Guess who the new team coordinator is. Lance The Fucker Tucker.

    Stan: Who?

    Hope: The guy who popped my cherry.

    Stan: Don't give him that power, honey. Remember, you're a gymnast and your hymen broke without the help of a man.

    Hope: Fine. The one who was the first to fuck me. He said he's gonna take Maggie away from me 'cause the little cunt blew her routine.

    Stan: No. What? Why did she blow her routine?

    Hope: Because she sucks!

  • Dominique Moceanu: So, Coach, Maggie's heading into her final signature event. And although it's a tight race, it appears as if a spot on the podium is Maggie's to lose.

    Hope: Yep.

    Dominique Moceanu: Well, it was 12 years ago when you yourself were here. Both of you from the same small town, it looks as if Amherst, Ohio, will have a new hometown hero. How do you feel about sharing that legacy? Coach?

    Hope: We share a few things, right, Dominique? Right? Like that Brazilian javelin thrower? He knew how to throw a javelin. You were an animal that night.

    Dominique Moceanu: Um well...
