I don't remember when I saw the movie, but I saw it on CCTV. It's a middle-aged version of American Dream. When I was young, the male protagonist liked baseball very much. As a pitcher, he was very talented, but because of his father's work , his dream was shattered when he moved to another state before his high school softball game.
The time jumped very quickly. When he was 35 years old, he became a high school teacher, but the school team he led won the championship, and a new scout found the teacher. Dreams and now in his world, constantly rolling.
The few episodes that moved me the most, maybe when I saw it, I was still young, a teenager, and now I'm 24, I didn't realize the touching story.
1. When the teacher thought whether to go to the draft, he ran to the highway and used the ball to test its pitching speed, 78km/h. He was disappointed to see the test card of this highway, but he turned back and drove away from the truck. At that time, because the broken test card was very broken, the real speed dropped to 128km/h, which made me feel sorry for him and sad for him at that time.
2. When he decided to leave his hometown and go to a faraway place for the draft, there was no rice left at home, and his wife and children were starving at home. I felt distressed when I saw it, and in the end, my wife still supported him, which was very touching. When a person reaches middle age, how much responsibility and pressure does he have to understand one of your wives. This life is enough.
3. Another touching point is that when the team he played won the Grand Slam, he once opposed his father, and the white-haired father came to the court, and I saw tears welling up in my eyes. When watching the domestically produced "Sunflower", the painter's son opened an exhibition with his elderly father, and I was also in tears.

This movie is a very typical American Dream movie, a middle-aged inspirational movie, it will not let you down, let you ignite the most desire for your early dreams. When I wrote the film, I left it after watching "Dead Poets Society", and let your heart fly once. (The exact details may be wrong, many years ago

    I have been dreaming about this movie all night. A 35-year-old man can still realize his childhood dream. Family may not be a tie, but support, and his firm heart is the key to realizing everything. Of course, luck also matters. The most attractive moment of an old man is when the confidence that is not lost to age shines!

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.
