Anyone who knows me knows that I have an almost fanatical fondness for Spanish movies, not only because my favorite director, Almodóvar, is Spanish, but more because I have a passion for Spanish football that I don't even know myself. understandable worship.

The Spanish movie Contenders about football brings together two things I like.

After watching the movie, an intuitive feeling is that for football, Banya really loves it! my country is known as the kingdom of table tennis, but how many people love to play table tennis? Is it like football, in groups of three or five, regardless of age or gender? The answer is of course no. We are known as the country of table tennis, and the big reason is that we can get more gold medals and honors in this project - as for whether the people love it or not, no one cares.

The whole movie "Challenger League" is different from Hollywood movies. The biggest feature is the color. The movies in Spain and Latin America always have a colorful energy. Whether it is a live-action movie or an animated movie, just take a look , it can be clearly distinguished from European and American films. There is also the appearance of the characters, which is different from the animation in our country, always trying to get closer to the aesthetic taste of foreigners. The people in this movie can see that they are people from Spain and Latin America at a glance, and whether it is the way they speak or the way they speak. The tone of voice can make people feel that kind of enthusiasm. After watching these movies, I can't help but wonder, are the people over there all friendly chatter?

The Challengers make a seemingly impossible fairy tale come true, a story of family and innocence wrapped around the passion and dreams of football. There is a very beautiful scene in the film, that is, listening to a tune similar to "Blue Danube" on the football field, watching the people playing football on the field in slow motion, they seem to be dancing on the field, and I suddenly think of it. "2001 A Space Odyssey", there are also tribute paragraphs at the beginning of this film.

The moustache of the villain is very similar to my favorite star Villar. Although he is the villain, the face of the agent at the end still feels distressed for him.

    Narrator: At the dawn of time, a profound discovery was made about our planet. It was boring. But boredom makes you think. And thinking gives you ideas. And what was the first idea? I'll tell you what the first idea was. "Must... kick... ball." Soccer made us compete. And soccer made us work together. More or less. In other words, it made us... human. Soccer isn't just a game. It's who we are.
