Sportsmanship takes the poison of capitalism with one shoulder throw — or three bullets

Americans' attitude toward the Olympics can be seen by comparing the Dream Team lineup of the previous Olympic Games with the NBA All-Star lineup of that year. In short, there is no market operation, no dazzling stars, and no waves of lace news that follow. In just a few days, there are many and cumbersome projects. Just rely on one sentence to be faster, higher and stronger. Who would like to see it? , what's so exciting about our NBAMLB Super Bowl.

——About the director's great swordsmanship in filming and editing, the director's training of the actors, and the efforts made by the actors. Several other high-scoring teachers have already explained in detail, but after reading it, it seems that the theme of the film is not so thorough, of course Thousands of Hamlets, here is nothing more than wanting to talk about their own opinions.

Oh, besides, Channing Tatum's walking posture has changed. There are several shots, aren't you afraid of pulling the balls?

Speaking of which, the contrast between the first scene and the last scene couldn't be more obvious.

Mark talks to a room full of students about his Olympic gold medal, his contribution to the country, and the kids all stare blankly, it's just a boring career planning class (or whatever).
An Olympic world champion, wearing his gold medal, and leaving China to find a primary and secondary school, everyone can imagine what it would be like. The glory behind the championship, the fighting spirit, and the brilliance of humanity are completely invisible to simple children, and they don't care at all. This stalemate and the effect of this speech also bothered Mark. When he broke the instant noodles and ate it with ketchup, he must have asked himself, "Am I really a world champion?"

In the end, Mark finally came. In the arena of the TV wrestling competition that I watched as a pastime. Look at the enthusiasm of the audience, who is also the old enemy of the old and the United States, the Russians, no one cares at the Olympic Games, but at the scene of this TV wrestling competition, at the last moment before the game, the audience shouted in unison : "USA, USA, USA", then the movie ends with a black screen.

Well, at this moment, the director is also shouting from the back of the screen, USA, USA, this is you USA, the public has no idea what is important, what sportsmanship, what patriotism, all become tools of mainstream media commercial hype. But the truly outstanding athletes, the people who are struggling with the brilliance of humanity, either fade away like the mark and get into the fence of the commercial-oriented TV wrestling show, or think of david and fall under the gun of capitalism .

Looking back at Mr. John E. Dupont, E is the initial of Eagle, Mr. Hook-nosed Eagle with the stars and stripes behind his desk, although he is a real person, it cannot be more symbolic. Mr. Eagle, who can only talk in empty talk, made one after another promotional video, and was finally thrown to the ground by a dry SWAT.

As a digression, about Mr. DuPont's promotional video, it really can't stop reminds me of Barney's video resume in My Mom's Romance. Simply fun.

Finally, expect the release of the film to bring some more business to Mark's studio.

    Extremely chilling and stern, Miller's sports biography is really a genre of its own. The subtle control of the characters' mentality and the description of the turbulent emotions under calm have reached a rare and profound level. It's just that the usual mommy issue has been brilliantly interpreted as a human tragedy. Carell and Uncle Green acted so well, the scene of "DuPont is my life mentor" was so tormented that it was almost unbearable to watch.

    There are too many dialogue shots on the front and back, otherwise it won’t be so dull
