I always feel that the Chinese translation of this name is wrong

English called rookie, the meaning of rookie! American movie titles are not as esoteric as Chinese old ones. It may be better to call the oldest rookie in the clouds!
The movie is based on real events. The 35-year-old rescue pitcher doesn't know anything about baseball, but he played baseball on an 8-bit machine when he was a child. The operating mechanism, the minor league is divided into three levels, the income is very low, but all the people are constantly working hard for a dream.
The film itself is very bland, and the shooting is also very bland, little by little, there are not as many ups and downs as the blockbuster, but it still attracted me to watch it slowly for two hours.
Parents, couples, children, friends, students, and residents of the town finally share it with everyone. This may be a real american dream!

    The background is more divine, and it is the talent to realize the dream realistically

    The middle-aged uncle played by quid got the opportunity to enter the major league because of his natural arm. As a former teacher and coach, he has many children at home to support his family. Chasing the dream! The overall look and feel is good, the plot is somewhat similar to Rudy of Mark Wahlberg's oath, but it is the football version

The Rookie quotes

  • Jimmy: What do they think, I'm some sort of publicity stunt? That I'm taking some guy's job away? What do you think, Brooks?

    Brooks: ...I think you're too fast for me. That's what I think.

  • Olline: Hunter told me you went to see your father.

    Jimmy: Yeah.

    Olline: You know where I'm going with this.

    Jimmy: Yes, ma'am, I do.

    Olline: Rachel says he's trying really hard to be a good grandfather.

    Jimmy: [coldly] Yeah...

    Olline: Oh, Jimmy. I swear the one thing you got from your father is his stubborn side.

    Jimmy: That's not true!

    [Olline gives him a look]

    Jimmy: Well, what you want me to do, just pretend everything was okay?

    Olline: You've been blaming your father for too many things for too many years.

    Jimmy: I just call 'em like I see 'em, Mom.

    Olline: Now, Jimmy, you can sell that story somewhere else, 'cause I ain't buying. You had your shot at baseball, you got hurt, simple as that. It had nothing to do with your father... you don't think he didn't have dreams?

    Jimmy: Is that why it didn't work out with you two?

    Olline: I'm gonna need a longer street for that talk.
