However, after reading it, I found that it is basically impossible to see various debate skills and wonderful games in it; however, I can see that in such an era, such a group of black people, for their freedom , their rights, and continue to fight.
It is a typical American inspirational film, but it still gives people a strong feeling.
There's a line in it that I love, when they're training, and when they trust each other.
"Who's the judge?"
"Judge's God."
"Why's God?"
"Cause he decides who's the winners and losers, not my opponent."
"Who's your opponent?"
"He doesn't exist."
"Why doesn't he exist?"
"Cause the truth exists in our speech."
ps: Uh. . . Because it was written down by dictation, I didn't hear the last sentence clearly, so I translated it according to my general awareness and my understanding. . . Interpreting and listening have been stupid these days.
Whatever the focus of the film, I still see that kind of trust and support among teammates in the debate. Even if they are constantly arguing and insisting on their own views, they still cannot shake their friendship.
I hope that when I become a coach next year, I can feel the joy of debate again.
