Later I learned that this is indeed a good film. Wen Dao said that although this is a sports inspirational film, it is not simply about a game. Although the film must end with the end of the game, this film The wonderful thing is not the final outcome, but the process. I have rarely seen such a warm and touching black movie. In my impression, those warm family dramas are all white Americans, and black people always play some alternative, violent and funny, so I am not interested in this movie. There are also extra points.
After watching some people say that the plot is very old-fashioned, I think it is because you are watching it with the eyes of an adult. Instead, I think this movie makes me feel childhood, something that a 10-year-old child should encounter. I personally prefer such dramas with family elements. Sometimes people's lives are similar to each other. If you think it's old-fashioned and the story shouldn't develop like this, how should it develop? You shouldn't pay too much attention to the setting of the plot when watching this kind of film, because everything changes, you should see if it really moved you.
There are actually some meaningful things in the setting of the plot. For example, Akira's opponent is a Chinese player who is controlled by a traditional Chinese father. We can see the collision between American education and Chinese education. Think about it, we I grew up in the same way, seeing Zhao's father severely criticizing Zhao and seeing the first place as the only success, which is in stark contrast to the American parents' encouragement of "I'm proud of you" for their defeated children. Perhaps The director deliberately compared these two kinds of tutors, which is a bit mocking, a bit ironic, right? Maybe a little bit, but we can only laugh bitterly, maybe Zhao Dylan still finds a little face for Chinese children in the end, maybe the director is not good enough to deny it completely.
