"GOAL.II": A typical road to superstar growth

The anticipation of "GOAL.II" and some gibberish about football inspirational films,

as the sport with the most fans in the world, is surprising in the coldness of the film industry. Since the day modern football was born, the stories that have taken place with enough weight to keep fans nagging for decades are definitely for those who change the real time to dig a good memory. However, unfortunately, most of these fans are in Hollywood. In this country where it is difficult to hold a World Cup and make a few money from the pockets of its own citizens, it is normal for football to be ignored by the football blindness in Hollywood. However, fans and movie fans have a lot of intersection after all, so we have to face a very sad reality - it is difficult for us to see football movies that make our blood boil on the big screen. Americans who hold a strong voice in world cinema will only happily sell us football, ice hockey and other team sports they are familiar with. So much so that I, a sports inspirational film lover, have roughly understood the rules because of their American football films. In today's increasingly developed computer technology, it is definitely not a satisfactory excuse to find tens of thousands of enthusiastic extras to fill the stadium.

We have reason to ridicule Hollywood, but we also have reason to believe that if Hollywood movie giants can pay more attention to football, they will only worry about how to find suitable people to play these superstars one after another.

Before "GOAL.I", my deepest impression was "The Miracle of Bern", but it was a German work (I don't see many European movies about football, I hope it's just because of my loneliness), There is also a film made by the Americans a while ago based on real events, about the American victory over the English in a friendly match in the 1950s. However, this film was quickly popularized by countless Overwhelmed by inspirational films.

It was enough to surprise me when I saw the guy who was playing CSI in America suddenly pop up to play football, but I was even more surprised that GOAL.I was still playing well. Although there are still some common-sense bugs in the film (the most typical one is that San Diego can play in England without a labor certificate, of course, my understanding on this issue is that a foreign player of unknown origin should join the national team. And it's going to take years to get a labor certification as a mainstay and then get a labor certification, oh my God! Do you want to make a movie? Danny "Cannon understands it's not "CSI"), but that's Hollywood. The methods commonly used in inspirational films, coupled with a standard inspirational story of an ugly duckling turning into a phoenix, have brought tears to my eyes.

"GOAL.I" is a qualified inspirational film, and it can also discuss fans, which also gives me a full The reason to look forward to "GOAL.II".

"GOAL.II" is finally seen. There is

more than passion, but lack of family affection.

In "GOAL.II", the problem of reality making way for the plot still exists. It is different to put an "alien" It is the main force that played 14 games with a scoreless Harris. I can only understand the importance of the starring role, or the producers could not give "Alien" more appearance fees.

But Real Madrid appeared in the movie after all As

it was advertised before, Santiago went to this Spanish giant, and the superstar in this giant has become the biggest attraction of the film. Beckham, who doesn't have a line, is the first supporting role. This is the film The only Real Madrid player that appeared on the British version of the poster. The director edited the footage and the video of the actual game, and it was difficult to see the flaws, which is really not easy. The passion of the game can still stimulate the fans' nerves happily.

It is a pity, however, that the film is full of passion but lacks sensationalism. Sensation is a word that is hated by Hollywood hated groups. But sensationalism is indeed an essential element in a suitable inspirational film. Without sensationalism, the inspiration of the inspirational film will be nowhere to be found - the finger reaching to the sky in "Miracle on Ice", in "The Strong Man" The friendship of different skin colors, and seeing his father's children in the cheering crowd in "The Fight for the Green"... and the sensational point in "GOAL.I" comes from the father who is thousands of miles away. The point of this film is sensational. When my father pointed at the trance child on TV and excitedly said to his friend, "This is my child," I had no reason not to be excited with him.

In "GOAL.II", the director has shifted the focus to Spain. The love depicted in heavy ink makes me even less interested in love movies. The mother-son reconciliation that could have been an excellent sensational point was described as an understatement. .

The growth path of a football superstar and a little conjecture on "GOAL.III"

To sum up, the growth of a superstar is always accompanied by the following keywords: winning goal, bench, degeneration, reflection, red card, injury, penalty kick Missed shots , penalty kicks...

We have already seen the above in "GOAL.I" and "GOAL.II", so if nothing else, in "GOAL.III", Santiago Will he miss a crucial penalty after going to German soil? It took Beckham four years from sinner to hero. Did San Diego complete this shell change in just two games? Oh, by the way, in "GOAL.III", the child of San Diego should be born, we may also see him in the film and pull up his coat after scoring a goal, let us see him on his t-shirt For his love for his wife and children, maybe he can do a cradle dance like Bebeto?

We will wait and see.
