The plot design is too deliberate. A single frail old man and a single older daughter meet a strong and handsome young retired baseball star? This kind of probability is like God said, "I can't watch it anymore! You two will have a baby soon, and they will be together after all." There is no connection between the story and the story. Traumatized, a young retired baseball star wants to be a scout, and that doesn't work. In the end, the screenwriter strung them together in a way that was almost suicidal. I believe he must have felt like a genius after writing this script. The problem is, wait, you forgot to mention the old man's eyes - not a word. In other words, tacitly admitting that he is actually just to propose an introduction to the appearance of his daughter. In the end all the storylines ended up in one basket like someone cheated.
The presence of Justin, a young retired player, sent the whole story into overtime. It was supposed to be a movie about a father and daughter story, and then Justin came out and he didn't have any influence on the story. He fell in love with his daughter, which is another story, but he had no influence on the old grudge between father and daughter, and if he was removed alone, the story could go on intact. So we ask, what does Justin do? Jumping into an apparently cold river to put on a pair of underwear? To show people he's been working out all the time? Or has he grown up and can finally grow a whisker? For him, we also designed an ex-boyfriend character, an innocent, ridiculously stupid ex-boyfriend.
baseball. It's titled The Curve Problem, and like the cover, it's clear that the studios, directors, and producers all conspired to take advantage of Eastwood's fame. They knew Eastwood was into sports inspirational movies and his style, so they faked a movie that looked like he was the protagonist, but it had nothing to do with him and baseball. You can shoot a ping-pong ball and call it a catch, or you can shoot a tennis ball and call it a baseline return. So what kind of sports movie is this?
Clint Eastwood. A poor old hero, hung on the cover like a prostitute by these people. There's Eastwood here, come check it out. But the actual protagonist of the story is his daughter who has had a shadow of her childhood. Kind of like "Hot Tears", isn't it? His daughter finally found career, love, joy of life, reconciliation with her father, and past memories from a single woman who didn't know her life, daily work, and suppressed memories—she was satisfied. But what does this have to do with old people? He's still glaucoma, he's still having prostate problems, he's still dying, he's still alone, and he's still a scout. The difference is that in the end, everyone agrees that he's a good scout.
Hollywood movie posters are given to advertising agencies, who haven't seen the movie. So, if you're watching the movie by the poster, I want to tell you that there is no "curve puzzle" nor "Clint Eastwood" here.
