Tireless teaching on and off the field - "Coach Carter"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Coach Carter".
The title of the film is Coach Carter (2005), alias Jagged Coach / The Severe Winter of the Cattle Class.
"Coach Carter" is an inspirational film based on true events.
The film is based on the true story of Ken Carter. Born in Finwood, Mississippi, in 1959, Ken Carter grew up in a close-knit family and community. During his youth from 1973 to 1977, he played on the Richmond High School basketball team, setting records for points, assists and steals. As mentioned in the film, these records remained unbroken until 20 years later, when he became Richmond High School basketball coach.
Twenty years later, Ken Carter opened a sporting goods store, a barber shop and a hair salon in Richmond. Carter is quite successful in business, and he also has a desire to chase his dreams and help children grow by training them to play basketball.
In 1997, Carter was hired as the coach of the Richmond Middle School boys' basketball team, and in order to achieve his goals, he asked for full management of the team. During Carter's coaching period, a training suspension occurred. Carter voluntarily closed the basketball hall and stopped all training and competition activities. This caused an uproar in a small town and even attracted national media attention, and Carter became famous because of this. noise.
Using an analogy with something most familiar to our generation, Coach Carter's Richmond Middle School is like the Xiangbei High School in "Slam Dunk." Before Carter came along, Richmond Middle School was like a weak chicken, serving only as a backdrop for the star players of other schools. The players are not skilled, temperamental, not united internally, blame each other for mistakes, and even fight.
All this was reversed after the appearance of Carter. With his iron-blooded methods and his love and persistence in the basketball career, Carter abruptly transformed these simple-minded and well-developed children.
The subsequent competition process of Richmond Middle School is also the same as that of Xiangbei. A weak chicken that no one is optimistic about has undergone great changes in a short period of time, and entered the national competition as a dark horse, just like Xiangbei who entered the national competition in "Slam Dunk".
The finale of "Slam Dunk" is that Xiangbei encountered the defending champion Shanwang team for 16 years in the top 16 of the national competition. After the hard battle, Xiangbei won the victory, but his vitality was also seriously damaged, and Sakuragi Flower Road was injured on the back. In the third round, against Aihe College, all members of Xiangbei threw too much physical strength, and lacked Sakuragi Flower Road, regrettably stopped in the top 16. But winning Shanwang is equivalent to winning the national competition, and the Xiangbei team has no regrets.
The same is true for Richmond Middle School, who fought the national champion until the last minute, and even saw the final victory, it was just a breath away. To achieve such a result, Richmond Middle School will naturally have no regrets.
It's not easy for Maja Fake to become Maja Carter.
Although Samuel Jackson looks like a teacher here, he is still a man at the top of the food chain. The recalcitrant Iron Man and the American spiritual leader Captain America were both submissive and obedient. What a group of high school brats.
Richmond High School had a thorn in Cruz. Cruz is an athletic three-point shooter, Latino, who likes to hang out on the streets and think he's cool. Relying on his own ability, Cruz was very reluctant, left the team many times, and asked to return many times. When Cruz was covered in blood and cried and shouted that he was coming back to play basketball, the audience seemed to see Mitsui Shou in "Slam Dunk".
"Coach, I want to play basketball." If you have to choose between a basketball court with rules and an orderly street, people with normal brains will make the right choice.
The most successful part of "Coach Carter" goes beyond the scope of ordinary sports inspirational movies. Carter needs not only the performance of these children on the basketball court, but also their performance as a person.
The United States spares no effort to promote happy education at the bottom, leaving most people in a state of being exploited and unable to change, and blocking most people's upward passage through their studies. Coach Carter looked at the essence through the phenomenon and saw that learning is more important for these children. He is not only thinking about winning or losing a game, but more about the future of this group of children.
Under the circumstance that the class is solidified and there is no way to ascend, studying and studying is the only chance for these poor children to turn over. No one believes that they can have their own future, even these children themselves, who have been living at the bottom of their lives, and subconsciously regard drug use, fights, and jail time as the norm in life.
Part of growing up is making your own decisions and living with the concerns.
Basketball is not just basketball, but also a human being.
A highlight moment in high school does not represent a lifetime. The future life is long, and you must not only see the past in front of you. Winning yourself and winning the future is more important than winning a game.
Meeting a life mentor who wakes you up is more important than winning a basketball game.
Be a person before you do it, and be a person first.
Coach Carter educated these children through basketball and infected the families of these children.
Coach Carter often asks: "What are you afraid of?"
At the end of the film, these children finally realized the answer: "Our biggest fear is not because we are not good enough, our biggest fear is beyond our imagination; what we fear is our own light, not the dark side; A cowering attitude doesn’t change the world, and hiding your inner potential doesn’t make those around you feel more secure.”
This dialogue full of dialectical thinking takes the whole film to a higher level.
Tireless teaching on and off the field,
Life mentors build morality.
