What is basketball? a sport? a hobby? Or a game? What I want to say about basketball, past, present and future, is more than just a sport for those who love it. "Uncle Drew" is a comedy sports film directed by Charles Stone III and starring Kyrie Irving, Shaquin O'Neal and Reggie Miller. The film takes the contradiction between the characters as the main driving force to promote the development of the film's plot, among which the contradiction between the black coach Dax and the white coach Munch is the main contradiction and runs through. It is also because of the contradiction between the two that leads to the protagonist of the film, the street basketball player Uncle Drew, who has disappeared for decades, and promotes the plot of the film to go to Uncle Drew's life, and also explains the secondary contradiction of the film, Uncle Drew conflict with his teammates. The film is also relatively detailed in terms of characters. For example, through the process of getting along with Dax and Uncle Drew, the two are completely different on the conflict issues such as what music to listen to and whether to turn on the heater. Different characters. Dax is impatient and rigid, while Uncle Drew is optimistic and calm. Watch the film carefully and you will find that there are many details in the film. For example, O'Neal's character, the big man, asked Uncle Drew to feed him the ball, and the first reaction to the old fans was Kobe Bryant. There are also scenes of several old men dancing in bars. As we all know, O'Neal is famous for dancing in the NBA, and there is a famous scene of dancing with James on the court. In the final battle of the film, there is an arm dunk, and this dunk pays tribute to Vince Carter's iconic move. There are many truths behind the film, such as unity, love, persistence, overcoming difficulties and fears, etc. As Uncle Drew said, basketball is a symphony performance, and the lead singer is nothing without backing vocals. This is unity. The film also shows that age has nothing to do with hobbies, as long as you love it enough, Drew and the others are not playing basketball, but memories of their youth. It's love and persistence. At the end of the film, Dax threw a key three-pointer lore game, which announced that he had overcome the demons and fears in his heart for many years. Losing is not scary, what is scary is that you lose your fighting spirit. A dollar of mineral water, sweat all over, baskets without nets, bad concrete, worn basketballs, worn-out sneakers, what a starting point for how many people. Regarding the basketball spirit, I would like to say that it is a commitment, and your hard work, bravery, and persistence, not because of a few words from others, Just because of your truest wishes. As Boots says in Uncle Drew, you can't stop playing because you get old, you only get old when you stop playing.
