I watched "Those Greatest Games" a few days ago, very good story! Very inspirational sports movies, especially golf ones are rare!
I think that although it is an inspirational film, the director actually wanted to show a kind of contempt for the European aristocrats of that era through the experience of the protagonist and the legendary golfer Harry, so there is actually only one villain in the film, that is, the one led by the United Kingdom. Noble, show his discrimination against commoners to the fullest! In other words, the director tried to show America's pride in its modern civil society and contempt for the traditional British aristocracy through the victory of an American civilian caddie over a British professional golfer. Most of the people who came to the American continent were the poor in Britain and even prisoners, and they naturally had a contempt for the nobility and authority! And from the current point of view, it is indeed worthy of American pride! But the dragon slayer finally grew into a new evil dragon with his dragon slaying skills!
Going back to the movie itself, the protagonist is a caddie who just keeps an interest in golf, but golf in those days was not a civilian game, so his father, as an ordinary low-level man, thought it was not a proper job, and hoped that he would rely on hard work. And trying to support a family, doesn't agree with that! But there is always a dream, especially when someone takes you, guides you, and helps you, of course you have to run hard! In fact, the protagonist also gradually matured through this kind of discussion. From the initial vanity, to the tension in the middle, to the final firmness, he himself also grew up in this process!
The other protagonist, Harry, is a talented golfer, but he always has the nightmare of being demolished by nobles to build a golf course when he was a child! Therefore, in the previous competitions, I wanted to prove that I was good enough, and that ordinary people can achieve unparalleled results! But in fact, he didn't enjoy golf itself, but the movie made him gradually enjoy the charm of golf itself through this U.S. Open!
I don't think any movement that is created can survive without the participation of the masses! There is no sport that should be crowned as an aristocratic sport. All cultures and sports should be designed to allow more and more people to participate in it, enjoy it, and let more and more people know about it! All pure aristocratic sports have no vitality!
Of course, the most touching thing about watching this movie is not that the protagonist won the game, but the last-minute encouragement from his father who did not support his participation in the game!
