Vitality is not in age, but in mentality.
The old boots in the film said: You don't stop playing because you are old, but the moment you decide not to play, you are really old.
In this age of premature aging, everyone is exhausted. Although young people may not have experienced any big winds and waves at all, and life is full of different situations, but repeating the boring work and life day after day, mechanically brushing Douyin, Weibo, and Moments are enough to kill the spirit of the whole person. Energetic. Under the delicate face that people take great care to maintain, there is a vicissitudes of life and a tired heart.
Far away from dreams and passions, it is like old boots sitting in a wheelchair. Even if the sun is shining outside the window and the birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, it is another world separated by glass.
When Drew threw the basketball to him, the old boots caught it subconsciously, and the reaction and speed were top-notch. At the moment when he got the basketball, the audience could even see the colorful rays of light from his empty eyes.
It is not the wheelchair that confines him, but the difficulty of being away from the stadium. Similarly, what imprisons a person is never an external obstacle, but an inner barrier.
Although "Uncle Drew" is a basketball-related movie, in the final analysis it is about life, dreams, youth and passion. It's just that he goes deeper than the average youth hot-blood film.
Will the dream of opening and closing your mouth when you are young still have value when you are old?
In order to see through this theme, there are not only the confrontation between the young and the elderly in the film, but also the collision between the elderly and their own hearts. Uncle Drew taught opponents how to behave with a few beautiful passes, rebounds, and three-pointers, and also broke the "old people's uselessness" that hit their heads.
Even if the back is sore, the eyes are dim, the urination is frequent, the heart is not good, and you have to take medicine before playing, as long as you stand back on the court, they are still the best team that dominated the basket. As Drew said: "Basketball is so instinctive, you can't forget it."
I saw an Indian movie a while ago called "Dad 102". It is also a film about how old people find themselves.
As the world ages, life for the elderly seems to be a world issue. Is it a peaceful sunrise and a sunset and a quiet walk for the remaining few years, or a free and easy life in the last person? As far as these movies are concerned, the answer is biased towards the latter. It seems that only being unruly and full of vitality is the manifestation of an old man's disobedience to the old.
Uncle Drew is different.
Although the entire movie is about how this old team teamed up, reunited, regained their passion, and beat the young. But the background color of the film is really quiet and gentle.
Uncle Drews do not play games to be competitive, but to reminisce about their youth and relive their dreams. Winning or losing is not important. What is important is that several former comrades-in-arms, after being separated for decades, can still use the connection of basketball to clear up the past, find the meaning of life today, and re-emerge the hope and fun of life.
I remember seeing an advertisement before, called "Dream Knight", about a group of old Taiwanese who are dying. At the funeral of an old friend, they suddenly decided to ride a motorcycle around the island and relive the three or five friends of their youth in the last moments of their lives. memories together.
After several times of support and exercise, I finally felt the reason and joy of living again at the end of my life.
Although the body is old and friends are gone, the memory in the heart will never dissipate. The pursuit of passion is to live a life without regrets and to gain greater inner peace and serenity.
Uncle Drew is.
