This is the second time I watched this film. The last time I watched it was five years ago, and I was still moved to tears twice after watching it this time.
The genre of the film is a sports inspirational film, but the theme is about love and understanding to resolve racial conflicts in the United States.
The writers used a season of high school basketball as the main storyline. The first episode happened when the black coach arrived and the white coach stayed behind. What resolved this contradiction was the white coach's love and understanding of the white players. Later, the story enters the devil training camp, from the confrontation at the beginning to the understanding and tolerance after the end of the training. Two small plots are introduced here. The first one is that the captain's friend and players still do not understand and do not accept black players, and the second small plot is that the captain's girlfriend still does not understand and does not accept black players. The progression of the main line of the story includes the victory of the first game, the victory of the second game, and then the nine-game winning streak. At this time, as soon as the small plot comes to a conclusion, the white captain takes the initiative to clear the team out of the white friends. However, the contradiction in the second subplot was further intensified, and the third subplot was also added. The white captain's mother also did not accept the black player friends who did not understand her son.
Later, there was a small climax of the second episode. Although the white and black people basically accepted each other, and the white captain and the black coach became heroes, disaster befell the white captain. He was paralyzed from the lower half of his body due to a car accident! The small climax at this time also resolved the contradiction of the previous small plot 2, and the white girlfriend understood him.
Later, it entered the climax of the film, the last championship battle! The two previous episodes were also concluded before the game started. The white captain's girlfriend took the initiative to shake hands with the black player, which she owed before. When the white captain's mother came in, everyone stood up and applauded. This is everyone's encouragement to her and her son! It is also the culmination of love and understanding of the subject.
After the game started, the team was in trouble because the opponent already knew the tactical arrangement of the black coach. At the end of the first half of the game, the black coach in the locker room had obviously given up, but the players and the white coach did not give up. In the end, when the white coach changed to attack, the black coach changed to defense and completely disrupted the opponent's defensive arrangement. Winning is not only an inspirational performance on the theme of sports, but the core is the understanding and tolerance of the theme. This is the climax of the sub story line of white coaches and black coaches. The front is white coaches' understanding and tolerance of black coaches, but at this most critical moment, black coaches also gave understanding and tolerance to white coaches! The team finally wins! This is the third episode of the main storyline.
In addition to the main story line and the small plots mentioned above, the screenwriter also added many ingenious arrangements. Adds a lot of color to the video!
For example, the daughter of a white coach, this little loli appeared as a professional audience commentator, which increased the professionalism of the film in terms of sports themes, enriched the perspective during the game, and added a lot of drama to the film! For example, when she was dancing with anger when the players didn’t perform well, when she was angry when she was dancing with the black whistle, when she was so nervous about the last ball that she didn’t dare to watch, when she faced her father being told by the black forces The sadness of not being in the Hall of Fame, the joy she had in her father after the last team won, and so on.
In conclusion, this is a very textbook story! To say the disadvantage, maybe it is all-inclusive in all aspects, but not deep enough, but this is the distance between greatness and excellence, so this is an excellent movie, not a great movie!
