The first time I saw this movie was on Douyin, it was just a clip of some clips of the movie, but I was deeply attracted by the following reasons: firstly, I was also a basketball lover; secondly, From this short clip, I saw the American society at that time and saw the division of classes; the third time is what we often say about unity, which is strength. Because of these three points, I watched the whole movie. Path of Glory tells the story of white coach Haskins leading a mostly black college basketball team to an NCAA championship. After watching this movie, I immediately thought of Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, and LeBron James, the NBA's first active player. Which of them is not a black player? And in my opinion, black physical talent is more suitable for this sport, this film will give most of the space to the court, it is a part of sports inspirational film, but for a fan like me who is keen on the NBA, it brings me Spiritual encouragement and life guidance. This time watching the film made me feel a lot. There are many things I need to learn and understand in the film. Basketball is my favorite sport. I will spend a long time to play during the holidays, but I find that I don't have the spirit of their persistent pursuit. When I encounter difficulties, I will complain, run away, and lose. I don’t look for reasons from myself, and I also complain about my teammates’ incompetence. I never thought about making myself stronger, working harder, and improving my ability with the sweat I put in. I feel deeply ashamed from this video, and I didn’t understand it. When it comes to the reality of basketball, I lack teamwork, lack team spirit. If a team wants to become stronger and go further, only everyone must work together and work hard. They don't care about personal interests or personal data. They just need to make the team win. In times of difficulty, they did not choose to give up, and did not choose to surrender. Instead, they became more united, and their profits cut gold. I should have the courage to shoulder my responsibilities and do what I need to do. When I am a sophomore, maybe I have grown up. For the truth that I didn’t understand before, it is all right now. my own responsibility. Who can't do without the basketball game? This is a team game, just like the night before the finals in the film, when Huggins unites the players and announces that all blacks are on the court, the words of the white players inadvertently unite the entire team. This is where we need to learn. I think we live in society and don’t want to be ridiculed and abused by others. Each of us has our own dignity and personality, and we must never be ridiculed and defiled by others. Many people often backfire, their self-esteem is violated again and again, I feel sorry for them when I see this, in order to get rid of these, only the strength of the team can defend their spirit. Just like the black players in the film, they are so incomprehensible by outsiders, even discriminated and hurt by people, but they have a coach under his leadership, and only for the purest basketball, they and the white players have gone from being strangers and disgusting to each other. In the end, we will share weal and woe, and no one can leave the other. In the end, they got the respect of the white people in the school, and they exchanged their actions for their dignity. Therefore, it can be said that they are playing basketball with their lives, which is not an exaggeration at all. It is self-evident that it is difficult and difficult to achieve the middle of the college league from a small team that is not well known. The background of the society has made this path of glory narrower. But intimidation, beatings, cynicism, and sarcasm are nothing compared to dreams? Black players deeply understand that losing their dreams is like losing their lives with cruelty and powerlessness, so every game and every struggle of theirs is the burning and splendor of their lives. From the bottom to the top, this is not a smooth road. But they walked forward step by step firmly, without stopping, without turning back, and walked out of their glorious road.
