However, as a very amateur film critic, I think I should focus on the perspective of a professional dotaer to describe my understanding of this article.
I gave this translation a 9. I saw the trailer on Weibo about two weeks ago, and it was on fire at that time, but I always felt free to play, and intuitive translation is free to play, which inevitably reminds me of those women who strip off their clothes on QQ. , Does V Society want to make a hole here? Fortunately, I saved the conclusion until the movie is released. After watching the movie, I began to agree with the title very much. It allows players from all over the world, regardless of nationality, to form teams freely, free from school control and parental restraints, the player know what they want deep in heart, so let the courage set them free to play! I think that's what the movie interprets to us.
F2P has set a good benchmark for today's MOBA games - what e-sports should look like, and it has also achieved a leap that is different from the rabble like LOL. The TI competition invites the world's strongest people to gather together, with huge prize money, and let people from different backgrounds fight for it, selfless struggle, and show the world our generation - people who are running towards their dreams.
As for the three protagonists, Fear, who has played the most times, I think he is also the one who best reflects the theme of chasing dreams. He was born in a single-parent family and was abandoned by his father at the age of two, resulting in his forbearance character. I have been playing dota for 5 years, and I have seen all kinds of dotaers. There are talented and extraordinary operators, gankers who fall in love with the fierce style of play, and givers who work hard and help silently. However, I think the real strong He is someone who can keep calm at all times and is good at thinking despite the headwind. In addition, for team competition, a person who can take care of his teammates like a father, I think his impact on the team is far greater than on the field. As we recalled at the beginning, the development of e-sports has been very difficult. Today's e-sports has risen to a new height. However, compared with the mature sports competitions, the distance is very large. As we all know, many foreign dota The team does not have a coach, and the captain has too many things to be responsible for. At that time, the team that Fear was in was an international team and did not have its own training base. It was usually communicated online, which was very difficult for a captain. , However, Fear, who has no father, supports his teammates through his personal patience, calmness and forbearance, like the father of the team. When it comes to chasing dreams, it can be seen that Fear is a person who does not talk much. He is not young when he entered the e-sports circle, and he has no special talent. His mother was exhausted and even kicked him out of the house helplessly. Everyone was taken aback when they saw the monitor, and all of this didn't stop Fear from walking.
Next is Hyhy, the one who insisted on choosing Shadow Fiend. Hyhy's family is the most similar to domestic families. Parents take their studies very seriously, and they have a rigid development path for their children. As Hyhy's father said, he has never read any books, and he hopes his son can read more. And I think Hyhy is the person who can best reflect freedom. His face always has a kind of dullness that is full of fighting spirit. He breathes out smoke faintly, recalling his girlfriend, and only communicates with his parents when he has to. What he wants most, I think the indifferent young man knows best in his heart, he wants to realize his value, he wants to get back his girlfriend, he wants everything he wants, he wants to give everyone prove yourself. This kind of character led him to choose SF in the end, ignoring the obstruction of his teammates. I can't see their BP, and I don't know if SF's choice is wise, but everyone knows that SF is a sharp sword. . In the end, blaming teammates from Hyhy for not coming out of the woods also proves that their execution is not strong enough, but who said this is a world that belongs to our young people? We don't have to walk alone, we don't have to follow the rules, we long for freedom, we have self-confidence, and we choose Shadow Demon for our success. This is the free interpretation of Hyhy - his way of chasing dreams.
As for dendi, the veteran Ukrainian driver is known to be the most popular professional player in the dota world. Dendi's success seems to be more natural. He has been gifted since childhood. He can learn anything as soon as he learns it, and his body is unusually flexible. He has been praised for playing the piano and dancing, and he is very patient. He has always been a genius. However, how many geniuses are there in this world, and how many are successful? How many people have lost their time, and in the end they are ordinary as dust. The departure of his father has made such a child who is very dependent on his father very frustrated. However, an innate temperament allows him to break through this predicament, that is, optimism. It is mentioned very early in the film that Dendi's family's competitive conditions were not good when he was a child, and the departure of his father brought great pressure. However, Dendi was optimistic since he was a child. In the film, he always had a smile on his face, a kind of king. The temperament is revealed. Why do many geniuses fail to succeed? It is because they are arrogant but cannot achieve themselves with the power of one person. What's more, dota is a team competition, dendi loves show operation, loves to die, and it is well known that it is easy to get on top. However, the mystery, using the opportunity of a final to learn a hero, not only let people see the learning ability of a genius, but more importantly, in order to win, dendi is careful step by step, in order to succeed, he waits patiently for the opportunity, In the end, the high jump was big, just as a fisherman sat quietly by the lake all morning and caught the biggest fish in the lake. Dendi's success seems to be deserved, but the easier it is to succeed, the easier it is to miss, right? Every time you wait, isn't it proving the persistence of a dream chaser when your dream is in front of you?
At the end of the game, the three of them reached the same goal by different paths and completed the realization of their self-worth. Dendi won the TI1 championship, Hyhy got his girlfriend back, and Fear's mother picked up the camera and filmed her children's team on the TV.
In fact, I couldn't hold back the tears during the viewing process, not because of the efforts of others, but because of myself. I love this game, but no one can understand it. Similar to Hyhy, I was once a top student and graduated from a well-known college in China. However, after graduation, my classmates have achieved their own achievements, but I squatted and played my own dota. When I saw this movie, I started frantically looking for someone to talk to, and I wanted them or them to see it and understand me. In the past few years, the vocabulary of playing with things, being ignorant, ignorant, and friends are the words I have come into contact with the most. When I was a child, I did not accept any grievances, and I did my best to be the best among others. Now I don't dare to ask for understanding, I'm humble, I don't even have the ability to refuse my friends to persuade me to play LOL. They won't understand me, I always think so. Two years ago, a girl stayed with me overnight on Singles Day. We walked aimlessly on the streets of Wuhan. I asked her where to go, and she said go to an internet cafe and play Dota for me. I was too surprised to say. talk. My family is always very puzzled that I haven't studied, didn't fall in love, and made no progress in these years. My mother often touches my head and asks where the genius went. Even the best of friends would blame me for not being able to tell the difference. I also often blame myself late at night, always feeling that I shouldn’t give myself too many ostentatious excuses for having fun. Today, however, the only thing that can make me immediately immerse myself regardless of the night or day, regardless of my mood, regardless of my physical condition and surrounding environment, is dota. I gave all my love to dota so that I didn't have a girlfriend, I gave all my spare time to dota so that I didn't study. Sometimes I tell myself that it is too late to get into dota, that I am not talented enough to play professionally, and sometimes my friends persuade me to find a job related to dota. However, the dual personality of me will be hesitant during the day and night, but both spirits tell me, let them love dota for a while.
At the end of the film, I can't help but thank Valve. The documentary aims to further popularize DotA2, but Valve has done a good job of encouraging every DotAer not to give up, to be firm in their own footsteps, so that parents can encourage and support their children's pursuit of their dreams, and compose a song A hymn titled "Those Who Run Towards Dreams".
