I browsed through everyone's opinions in general, and didn't read too much in order not to affect my personal views. But the word with the highest click-through rate is probably cookie cutter. The theme of the restoration of the father-daughter relationship is stereotyped, the background of the baseball game is stereotyped, and the beginning and development of the climax and the end seem to be a bit stereotyped. You can probably guess the ending after watching a movie for a few minutes or ten minutes. How would you rate such a "conventional" movie?
Personal opinion: A movie that can make us move, think about it or learn something should be considered a good movie. Conventional themes or methods do not conclusively define a movie, but whether new ideas and highlights can be found in the stereotypes is the criterion for judging the quality of a movie. A cookie-cutter story doesn't have to be told cookie-cutter, the way or material may be cookie-cutter, but as long as the storyteller doesn't fall into the rut.
For a person who is about to face an exam, this kind of silent and tender film is a good choice. The story is not long, not complicated, not too tangled. Not many characters, not bad, not too hard. A father who is blinded by love because of love, and a daughter who is afraid to love because of love. The two hearts are clearly involved, but they have always maintained a "safe distance" because of the scars. But love is love, and family is family. Once-dependent lives and natural kinship made baseball an ever-breaking bond. So with the participation of a half-soy sauce and a "soy sauce group portrait" who are also "baseball people", the scars were uncovered, and the warmth slowly flowed out, nourishing each other's hearts and the audience's eyes.
At the end, I couldn't help but wonder why it was named after the curve puzzle. While maybe the curveball is a clue to baseball, it's not enough to lead the whole film. Later, it was speculated that the curve conundrum might symbolize a state of near-perfection. As the last boss said, he has potential, but not the best candidate. Only the best can break the appearance of perfection with skillful and pure pitching. Like the manipulative mastery of scouting after years of driving. A lot of failures for that pitch. But in order to reach that perfect state, there is only repetition and experience day after day. Otherwise, what can you use to prove that you really want to do it and really love it? These real experiences and experiences are irreplaceable by computers and simple technology. Just like the "no other, only familiar with the hand" of the oil man.
The same is true for the distance between father and daughter. If there is no constant effort by one party, the "safe distance" will never be broken. Like the bridge in the lake, if the two didn't walk towards each other together, then at least one of them would stay still and the other would move to achieve intimacy.
Maybe in the end we can come to a more "conventional" conclusion: all kinds of troubles in life need to constantly try and work hard to overcome and solve them. Although you may not be able to do it after experiencing pain, people who give up easily without even experiencing pain are not qualified to say that they "want".
