where dreams begin

Football, what is it? To put it simply, 22 people use their most clumsy parts to grab a ball on the grass that is 100 meters square. It is such a thing that makes most men in the world laugh for it, cry for it, and even more, there are those who forget to sleep and eat, those who abandon their wives, and those who die violently. And I am also one of its loyal subjects. Football + movies, I'm destined to be crazy about it.
This film tells the process of a player's growth, scouting, trial training, reserve team, first team, a few simple operations in CM, and emotions are integrated into this film, so this process becomes flesh and blood. The screenwriter of the whole film is a bit like a Japanese inspirational comic. Although it is old-fashioned, it can still touch people's hearts. In the end, Diego comforted his father in the spirit of heaven with a goal, which also pushed the film to a climax. In the handling of the game, a method similar to highlights or a piece of fancy was adopted, with a lively rhythm and climaxes. Emotions are contagious, even if you are not a fan, think about it, tens of thousands of people in the audience applaud, sigh, and sing together, can you not be infected? Especially the moment when the goal is scored, the feeling is absolutely unmatched in front of the TV. In this film, this feeling is restored very well through the fast switching between the stadium and the auditorium. At least, I watched it dancing in front of the computer. The soundtrack of the film and the scenery of Newcastle, a British harbour city, are also worth mentioning, which set off the atmosphere of the film very well. Especially when Diego just arrived in England and was about to go for a trial, he was smugly running on the beach. The combination of the passionate and rhythmic music and the turbulent sea in Newcastle was really wonderful.
Strictly speaking, this film is a youth inspirational film, after all, there is more attention to Diego's growth process. As a youth inspirational film, an important condition is that the protagonist must be handsome enough. The hero of this film can obviously get a high score on this point. I saw a very sunny and motivated football youth who is moving towards his dream. And some of the cameo stars in this film, although they don't have much playing time, are enough to make fans go crazy. Newcastle United was showing his face, and ALAN SHEARER was silent. I believe that after Diego's transfer to Real Madrid in the second film, the roles of the superstars in Real Madrid will increase.
EVERY DREAM HAS A BEGINNING. After watching this film, I am very much looking forward to the sequel. Even, I myself remembered the plot of the sequel, hurt? transfer? national team? World Cup? Everything in the football world, I believe will be presented one by one.
