The little friend's fencing coach recommended this unpopular movie. It is about an Estonian fencer who, in order to escape the pursuit of the Soviet secret police, returned to his hometown, overcame many difficulties in the red terror, and became a fencing coach and spiritual mentor for a group of children. story.
The whole film is immersed in a calm atmosphere from beginning to end. Whether it is the inspiration for competitive sports or the suppression of totalitarian politics, they are all expressed in a restrained or even conservative attitude. The expected conflict and climax have always been It didn't appear, and the male protagonist's emotions didn't fluctuate too much under huge pressure, which really made people a little discouraged. On the contrary, the girl challenged and persecuted the coach several times, and the scene where the boy's grandfather was taken away by the secret police was somewhat tense. The children living in distortion and panic, under the guidance of the fencer, picked up the sword made of vines and wore second-hand clothes. protective gear, find joy and dignity.
My little friend is a little squeamish and a little timid. Once, after a piano lesson, he passed by a fencing club and saw several older children training. She stood there watching for a long time. I asked her if she wanted to learn, and she Said to be. Before that, the little friend had never shown any interest in any sports, so I said: If you really want to learn, my mother will help you sign up, but you have to promise me to stick to it for at least one year, you can think about us and sign up again. The little friend answered me firmly: I want to learn! I think it's fine, then come and cure your princess.
The learning has started. It turns out that it is not like the little friend imagined that you can immediately put on handsome equipment and pick up a smart sword, but first you have to go through a long and boring coordination and basic skills training. In order to get the sword as soon as possible, the talent is not outstanding, and under the careful guidance of the coaches, the training is very serious. I am very touched that the coaches and the children are still able to keep training this summer. If there is anything Xiaoyou has learned since he learned to fencing, I think it is tenacity. Training itself is not necessarily happy, the sense of achievement brought by progress makes people happy; persistence itself is not a gift, but the patience and perseverance gained in the process of persistence are gifts.
Suddenly I understand the calmness of the film, when courage flows in the blood, when love burns in my chest, those difficulties become irrelevant, those dangers become insignificant. The squeamish little friend is not afraid of sweating during training, and the timid little friend dares to play with the boys. My little friend, may you be the toughest vine, brave as a sword, soft as a willow, grow up calmly, and live an elegant life.
