We are all like this, half the perpetrators and half the victims. ——For Beauvoir’s
title, it’s more appropriate to express it in practical English——“Don’t let anyone dirty your time.” I have always had the idea that it’s okay to waste my time by myself, but what else It's really annoying for people to waste my time. Because I have nothing but my own time.
You can see that I am a pessimist. So I like Woody Allen very much, "Annie Hall" is my favorite, and "The End of the Match" is the second-obviously not everyone's happy story. I also like "Coach Carter" because this coach not only taught his children how to win, but also taught them how to face failure-this is obviously the hardest lesson.
You might think that before Carter came to the Richmond Oil Wells, the best thing this team was good at was losing-they only won 4 games in the past season. But in fact, knowing how to deal with failure is not the same as having to lose. Every great player has experienced a tragic defeat, because in this defeat, they learned how to deal with it so that they can achieve excellence. The same is true for great people.
In fact, it is unnecessary to mention "great players" and "great people" separately. In fact, the so-called great players must be produced among great people. Therefore, in addition to playing skills, what a coach has to teach players is to be a human being-the conditions for "becoming a human".
So the film can be roughly divided into two main lines. On the one hand, coach Carter's training of the team at the technical and tactical level. He emphasized that running is a prerequisite for playing ball, and only excellent projection skills can be displayed, so cruel physical training is essential. At the same time, Coach Carter has almost 400 sets of tactics, each set is named after a woman-from his countless "sisters" and "ex-girlfriends." With a good training foundation and full preparation for changes in the face, it is not uncommon for the team to be invincible.
The other line is much more complicated. Although at the end of the film, Carter said that it was an accident that he made these "boys" become "men", but in fact, from the first training session, Carter used the standards of a man to request these high schools from the bottom. pregnancy. As the film repeatedly shows, the high school that the Richmond Oil Wells belongs to is actually the school that is willing to accompany the last-just like the people who live here. The only thing they are trying to do is to accept the "so-called reality" that they are a waste. Seeing this is very important for the development of the theme.
In the first training session, Carter brought his players a "player contract." He requires his players to train on time every day, and to attend classes on time, and their academic performance must meet the standard. The price he used in exchange for his players to do this was to make them "victors." This seems to be a fantasy for a team that was at the bottom of the last season.
An interesting detail is that Carter always used "sir" when calling his players-to show respect. This is obviously also unusual for children living at the bottom. They actually prefer to use "nigger"-"nigger" to refer to themselves and their companions. When the word first appeared in the training class, Carter stopped it. When the word appeared again, there was a line like Coach Carter:
"You are using this word and you are teaching others to use it." It
must be like this. If someone looks down on you, then the first person here must be It's yourself.
Although what you fear most is being looked down upon.
If a person chooses to fall willingly, the first thing he will lose is dignity-he will start to choose the so-called self-deprecating and accept the ridicule of others, as if this is magnanimous and wise. When these things gradually became habit, even he himself believed it to be true.
This is the first crisis faced by these children. So what Coach Carter tried to do was to get rid of their laissez-faire. And with their victories on the court, they seem to be more confident-even arrogant.
That's why such a plot happened. When the team was victorious, Carter became angry in a training class, because in his opinion, the self-confidence accumulated because of the victories is becoming conceited.
"Why can you use swear words and provocations to tarnish the game I love?" Unbearable, he finally said such lines.
From humiliating himself to humiliating others, it seems that his players have made great progress. But for a basketball player like Carter who has won countless honors, there is always something in his heart that cannot be tarnished.
Sometimes it does feel that if a person has something in his heart, things will become very difficult to handle. For example, Carter. His biggest crisis is almost brought about for this reason-he wants the team to win and respect the opponent; he wants his children to be outstanding players and also makes them better students, because it is about themselves Future. So he found that his players did not follow the agreement and study hard, and gave them a penalty of suspension, but this caused other people's dissatisfaction. For the locals, it is a miracle for the locals to have such an invincible team in a city that always lags behind others. Mortals always hope that the miracle will exist forever, so that they will not be short of after-dinner talk.
In fact, they only considered the existence of these children as players. The children play, they watch the ball, and they all seem to take what they need. But someone can watch the ball for a lifetime, but no one can play it for a lifetime. Being a player is just a short period in a person's life. But for the public, what they can see is everything-they only want to use a player as a tool. A basketball game is the best time for venting and nonsense.
As for the children's future, it seems to them that it has nothing to do with them.
If a person exists as a tool, it may be in a good state to others-his value on one side will be valued, and to give full play to his role value, it seems to be the "best contribution" to others. But for individuals, this means a kind of lack. What's more, life as a "tool", after no one uses it, or no longer works, will obviously fall into a dilemma that can't be added.
As a sports film, "Coach Carter" can be viewed as an inspirational film. But in fact, what it reveals contains many levels: about the crude social division of labor mechanism, the hypocrisy of the people and the self-defense of individuals. Everyone is playing their role, and for good or bad, they seem to enjoy it. You will occasionally hear complaints, but each role actually comes from the individual's willing choice. Because there is no such "identity", or to give up it, it seems to be more difficult because it requires courage.
In order to cater to what everyone else is doing, you can only pay for it yourself-they mess up your time and make you what they want to see. But the reason for this situation actually started with your acquiescence.
What would happen if you didn't meet my dear Coach Carter?
