Always blood, always MLB

Just after the end of World War II, the United States established its world hegemony, and everything in the country began to flourish. Except for the racial issue, the civil war between the North and the South did not fundamentally solve the inherent discrimination. After World War II, the United States began to implement racial segregation. As the favorite sport of Americans, baseball is not one of them. The MLB baseball league has such a pivotal position in China. Everyone loves baseball and prefers to watch a baseball game in their spare time. In this way, these two eternal topics meet in this film. As a small biopic, this film tells the story of Jackie Robinson, the first black player in the history of mlb, from being discovered to entering the top competition and enduring all the way. Under the pressure of racial discrimination, the story finally changed people's perceptions. Since then, No. 42 has become a legend, and his jersey has become the only retired jersey in the history of mlb. When watching this video, I also made a little bit of bad stuff about baseball knowledge, such as baseball play, mlb league, and some proper nouns such as stealing the home plate. When I was crazy about Baidu, I felt that Jackie was too powerful! Baseball is a fast and furious sport, and the addition of Jackie makes the entire league more dynamic. Of course, what is more important is that Jackie's joining has broken the tacit racial segregation in the baseball field, and in the American baseball major league, prejudice has been resolved little by little. At first glance, this movie is not a hot-blooded theme of youth, but a trickle-like refreshing. In the film, a young boy watches the game and sees that the adults around him are insulting Jackie, and they are also insulting. The young man was originally clear, but he was polluted by the world. May there be no more racial discrimination, no gender prejudice, and no disgust for other sexual orientations. May everyone be a teenager.
