We are faced with choices almost every moment, sometimes a choice. It can be said that one of the most fucking and exciting things in life is to make choices. No one knows, at such a junction where all temptations are traps, which way is the so-called "right". I actually don't like to use words such as "good or bad" and "right or wrong" with strong meaning, at least in my world, there are really not so many absolutes, especially to evaluate a choice. It's just that the state of a certain aspect of this person at this point or period of time is positive or negative, but what about a certain choice of a certain person? It is difficult for us to judge and characterize in a short period of time.
Just like the choice Billy made at the end of the film, whether to become the highest-paid general manager in history or stay where he fell. Billy's sentence clarified everything: "I really want to win here, I really want to" seeing this scene, my eyes are really moist. No matter what you face before making a choice, the temptation for money, the fear of the future, the doubt about yourself, and the pressure from the outside world, fortunately, Billy heard the truest voice in her heart and saw what she wanted most. Things: stay, where you fell, start again. .
I think that the last conversation between Billy and the little fat guy in the player lounge is the climax of the film, and it is also a fragment I read repeatedly when writing these words, carefully considering every word of Billy. Was it a choice made for the money? What did all the bold actions that I had done before putting aside the world in exchange for? Is it such a result? Is it a high-paying position? I think Billy's heart is more disappointed, and disappointment in losing after paying so much. These so-called high salaries are naked provocations. The little fat guy said you didn’t see the money talking, saying that this is a salary that players can’t get, but what does Billy think? What he wants is just a victory, not this high-paying position, if everything is for Money, he would rather repeat the same mistakes! Money at this time is really just a mockery.
I have to think of my beloved NBA player Lebron James. In 2010, he chose to leave the Cavaliers, and all the people betrayed their relatives. What's more sad is that he still didn't get a championship ring in the season after he left. At the beginning, the choice of the emperor became the focus of the war of words. In the face of doubts from the outside world, facing the misunderstanding and even cursing of his former teammates and fans, he chose to leave his old club. The reason could not be simpler. Now it has been 12 years and the emperor is still looking for one. Struggling for the championship ring, no one is qualified to comment on whether such a choice is right or wrong. Although I also look forward to him fulfilling his dream as soon as possible, I would rather see the courage of an athlete when making difficult choices for his true desires. That is the courage that moves me and not everyone will always have the courage. Kind of courage.
As in the film, Billy made more than one choice. Faced with the dilemma of the team’s main force being dug out and defeated, the decisions made beyond the general framework of thinking made the head coach and others shocked and resolutely opposed the decision. What kind of courage is needed for a decision that even surprised the audience. Billy doesn't know and no one will know what will happen after such a decision is made. This is simply a fight for the future with God! To be honest, I really envy people like Billy who have the courage not to run along the long river of time, because maybe no one can run through time. Billy just faces time, confronts time positively, and negotiates with the future. , He wants to win, this is the only purpose.
As mentioned earlier, when it comes to major decisions concerning their own future, not everyone has the courage to run against time and against common sense. And after the failure, he can still see his true desire in his heart amidst frustration and disappointment, and still have the courage to make decisions that make everyone puzzled. This least resembling but most inspiring inspirational film made me understand that at the end of the day, whether or not Billy wins where he hopes to win, such a life is enviable.
I suddenly thought of Jobs, who boarded the ship and returned last year. What he said in a speech at Stanford University was to make choices according to his true heart. Therefore, I sincerely hope that everyone can listen to the true desires in their hearts and make the choice to fight for the future with God, and run against time with firm courage.
