Can a running type that doesn't show one's personality really look good? "McFarlane" completely exceeded my expectations. First of all, let’s talk about the category. Running can’t catch up with the excitement of racing cars, nor the excitement of basketball and football, but the director can still make it exciting. Seeing this wonderful sport without confrontation makes you clench your fists. What's more difficult to present is the group in the story. Want to shoot running? It's simple, just shoot a person's growth history, add some family frustrations and emotional entanglements, and at most some social level sublimation can make a satisfactory film. But this film shows a group. It is not easy to fully show the group in a short film and add various elements, and "McFarland" not only shows the team of McFarland, but also shows their Family, it not only shows the place of McFarland, but also shows the admirable spirit of the people here. From the beginning of the old lady who led the coach to give a chicken to the coach, it can be seen that the people here are kind and harmonious. Yes, each team member's family finally chose to trust their children because of financial and cognitive difficulties. They got up at dawn to work in the field, and continued to work after reading. These children even connected to the sea over the mountains. I haven't seen it before. The people in the town celebrated the birthday of the coach's daughter enthusiastically. The team members used their bodies to block the face of the gangsters in order to protect his daughter. It's McFarlane, it has many elements but not too many elements, and the director has subtly blended these elements into a story that is not necessarily soul-stirring but absolutely touching. Of course the most moving part is that this is a true story, and these players are almost still at McFarland, and they have admirable guts and self-esteem. These children have never seen the "sea" on the other side of the "mountain", so they understand "the twists and turns in the mountains" better than the "seaside" people. When they see the "sea", they cheer loudly and play freely, but they never Forget they are from "the mountains".
