Snow Jumping to Liberate the Soul

Eddie's dream is to participate in the Winter Olympics, but his skiing skills are despised by coaches, and no one has signed up for high-altitude snow jumping. According to the rules, as long as he learns to ski jump, he is eligible to enter the Olympic Games, so Eddie is determined to sign up for high-altitude ski jumping. After the adventure of almost breaking his neck, he finally got the advice of the frustrated retired genius Pete. After the successful 60-meter platform jump, he should have qualified for the competition according to the existing rules. The officials of the sports department saw that the result was humiliating and expensive, and urgently raised the threshold, but Eddie broke through the threshold again with Pitt's help, and the officials regretted that the threshold was still set low. Anyway, Eddie finally qualified for the Olympics.

I think the most important sentence in the movie is at the back of the movie. In the 0-meter platform competition, Eddie, who ranked the bottom, and the Finnish snow jumper who ranked first, were in the elevator together. The Finnish boy said to Eddie: "Actually, we It's like 1 o'clock and 11 o'clock on the clock, it's very close. Losing and winning are vulgar things, and we snow to free our souls."

    Such a hard-working film was not released overnight.

    Special routines, no surprises, of course no mistakes, I really like the retro electronic soundtrack.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Eddie Edwards: I just thought we could have a little chat about me being an Olympic ski-jumper.

    Bronson Peary: You've more chance of being a ballerina than a jumper.

    Eddie Edwards: Good one. I was juts after a few tips, really.

    Bronson Peary: Give up, there's one for free.

  • Bronson Peary: [showing Eddie the models of the different ramps] I felll in love with this sport, man. It started with this little baby. This 15 metre little vixen. You manage to land that because it's meant to hook you into the sport, right, so otherwise you wouldn't even bother trying. The 40 meter, when you stack you get bruised, which I don't have to explain to *you*.

    Eddie Edwards: [chuckles] Sorry.

    Bronson Peary: The 70 metre, you break bones and you're lucky if you can walk again. The 90 metre. The goddess. Let's just say in the Wild West we'd be measuring you for your coffin before you even reach the stairs. Never forget that, kid.
