perfection means try your best

I don't claim to be wise and capable, but the phrase "I tried my best" is so understandable, I already said it in high school.

The so-called I tried my best is not an excuse, not a self-comfort when you can't get the results you want.
Rather, it is a fair evaluation of what you have done after you have really struggled, after hard work, and after exhausting all means and everything you have.

Everyone has their own limits. There is a comic saying that children are happy because when they look up, they see the sky, but when adults look up, they see the ceiling. That is your limit.
They are not perfect in the film, which is the advantage of the reality adaptation of the story, everyone has shortcomings. Whether it's an invincible but arrogant run, an excellent quarterback who lacks self-confidence, or another run that's unstable with the ball but has a good pedigree, it's such an approachable combination that makes people feel sympathetic to the one who is so far away. The touchdown line, full of sacredness, is no longer a line that surrenders to the protagonist's invincible skills.

Fortunately, this film must succeed without making such a model. The reality is cruel, how many people are still mediocre after hard work. But unwilling, after working hard, he still failed to enjoy the glory of victory.

But it is this kind of happiness and unwillingness that keeps this movie in my mind for a long time. There are not too many training descriptions in the film, and there are only a few descriptions of the game, but the performance of the team members, the support of the town, the pride and hatred of the former heroes, these are compared to the bloody game. emits a more dazzling light.

The prayer before the game was the most touching part. Strong faith makes each other brothers. For the glory, for the family, for our common Father, I, the war.

I believe they did their best, and although they are not perfect, I do my best and have a clear conscience.
