director's microphone is changed, the style of the film is quite different. In the first episode, Danny Jane Lun explained how Lai Menis was discovered by Bole and how he was discovered by New York. The team leader Casu is persuasive, and through his unremitting training, he finally got the opportunity to play in the first team, and finally became famous with a goal in the key battle for the Champions League ticket. The portrayal is more realistic. As a Latin, the difficulty of getting a foothold in a traditional powerhouse in Great Britain is obvious. Being rejected by teammates, the style of fighting alone is not suitable for the team, the climate is not suitable...Outlander in a foreign land The various difficulties encountered are explained in more detail in the film. On the other hand, the director made a clever arrangement on how to arrange the young man of the reserve team to appear in the key battles. That is, as the season begins to enter the white-hot stage, "Magpie" "The forwards of the 2019-2018 have been injured one after another, and they have to use young talents as a last resort. If it is not designed in this way, it is difficult to imagine that a reserve player who joined after the winter transfer window can triple jump as a key player for the team. In short, "Fame With One Goal" objectively tells us the hardships of growing professional players, but at the same time, it also encourages every aspiring person to put their dreams into action, which is really commendable.
But Zume Golesela, who almost ate the golden raspberry for "Fright in the Wax Museum", is obviously a hotheaded person. In "One Goal Fame 2", Menis switched to Real Madrid and became a super substitute (especially in the Europa League). In the film, the coach of Real Madrid basically does not need to design any tactics, nor does he need to instruct Menis how to play like the Newcastle leader (because Menis is already omnipotent like God), he only needs to send Menis when the situation is stalemate, then He will save the team with a volley or an upside-down hook in more than 80 minutes and return the trust of the coach. Of course, Menis also has "difficulties", such as the departure of his girlfriend, tabloid harassment, two months of injury, a red card on the first start, and an unexpected reunion with his biological mother... But these seem to have no effect on him continuing to play the role of savior on the European battlefield. Whether it's Andrezhi's tofu defense or Lyon's impregnable soup, Menis is always in a no-man's land near the penalty area, strolling in the courtyard, looking like a mighty Terminator. It seems that Joumey Golesla, who started out as a thriller, should not have directed such a film that reflects sports with a high requirement of reality - it is hard to imagine a dignified team of galactic warships, every time It is up to a rookie who only plays after 60 minutes in each game to turn things around; the sharpness of the six superstars was overshadowed by a furry boy who was cleaning garbage a year ago; With Ronaldo and Robinu in the lineup at the same time, it was really appalling that Real Madrid played a two-inner striker in retro mode.
The director's lack of football knowledge is a professional problem. But there are some more serious level problems in the film! What is the essence of a sports inspirational film? It is the rise after setbacks! Classics such as "Rocky", "Million Dollar Baby", "Road to Glory" and even "Shaolin Soccer" are probably taking this route. According to this principle, "One Ball Famous", although cliché, is also among the excellent. I remember that Menis was heartbroken after losing the opportunity to go to England when his father took away the hard-earned money he had earned; he also remembered that Menis was training in heavy rain and mud, and stood up again and again after being intercepted by strong Anglo men; I remember that Menis was given the opportunity to appear in the reserve team for the first time, but because the respirator was maliciously damaged by his teammates, he had an asthma attack, and he behaved like a wandering soul and lost the team leader's discernment... With these tribulations that Menis encountered when he pursued his football dream. Rendering, the audience will feel joy and comfort from the heart when Menis pierced through the gate of Liverpool, happy for him to finally find his dream. But in the sequel "Fame With One Goal 2", Menis and his lost friend Harris are addicted to parties, famous cars, mansions, and beautiful women, enjoying a luxurious life in Madrid. Any action that continues to work hard for the ideal of football. The director, surprisingly, did not explain how he integrated into the superstar-studded team and how to overcome all kinds of difficulties on and off the field, but let him easily dominate the field. Although the director created so-called setbacks for him, those "setbacks" did not play a role in making him grow further, so they were not like setbacks at all. So, what we see is a messy off-court Maynis, who is nowhere to be found on the court, just like George Bass of the year - but it is clear that Universal will not take Maynis as a genius. , short-lived.
In this way, "Fame with a Ball 2" lost its most fundamental inspirational flavor. In the first episode, Menis was a promising young man with both talent and diligence. To become famous with one goal was a reward for diligence; in the second episode, he was a arrogant playboy, capable of turning the tide and holding the big ear cup, which is really a director's dream. The director's low level of directing makes people feel that this is a dynamic star portrait. The stars are of course the two fictitious stars Menis and Harris, but the more eye-catching are the real Madrid big names such as Leo, Shi Dan, Beckham, Ronaldo, Casinas, Goody and so on. Joumey Golesla relishes the personal life of the star, but ignores the more important elaboration on ideals, hard work, and sportsmanship, and abruptly destroys a sports inspirational film into a film about two rich families, young and old. Let's make a documentary about horses singing their praises! FIFA originally wanted to use this film to show the poor people the dawn of changing their destiny with football, and to call on everyone to spend their blood and sweat with determination to pursue their dreams. However, after watching "Fame With One Ball 2", the audience not only questioned the fact that a yellow-haired boy who was struggling on the poverty line had been kidnapped and deceived since childhood, but relied on an extra football star brother, and from then on, he was prosperous and rich; he also questioned What is the positive meaning of this rotten movie that is full of luxury goods on the screen, other than advertising for Samsung, Adidas, and Lamborghini?
The subtitle of "One Ball Fame 2" is "Living The Dream". It seems that Joumey Golesla wants to tell us that reality has nothing to do with hard work and struggle, but only the right of a very few people made in heaven. In fact, I think it's more appropriate to change the title - "Leaving The Dream". What was shattered was not only the audience's dream of seeing an excellent sports inspirational film, but also the dream of thousands of poor children looking for their ideal "ball".
