Slow and simple, yet low-key gorgeous

A remote American town full of Mexicans-McFarlane,
a coach who is too individual to be hired by McFarland,
dragged his family and brought his family to this filthy town that thought it was full of crime,
only to find that it was full of the most simple and honest. warmth.
A football coach with no long-distance running experience, through the observation of the group of "natural" picker children, resolutely decided to create McFarland's first long-distance running lions team.
There is bound to be opposition to the new idea, but the blazing sun that runs through the entire movie can explain it, from the few supporters at the first competition to the scene where the entire town closed camp for a day for the game day and ran to the stadium to support it. all of these.
Although "Long Run" is not as easy to make as inspirational sports movies such as football and football, this sport is lengthy and requires patience, but the director's results completely freed me from worrying about all this.
Inexplicably, he will give you an immersive sense of urgency. He will cheer you up when it is critical, and be excited when you succeed.
Moreover, the whole movie kept making me PS: "Sister, when can I experience the intercontinental highway, the coastal beach, and the vast forest."
A reasonable adaptation of the reality appeared humorous A small bicycle, a caring wife, a heartwarming bar mitzvah, and an African-American hard-working life.
It's a cliché trend though: how coaches get children to train under pressure from farming families, how children's families never value or distrust the activity to support.
But you just can't help but be moved!
Even if it doesn't have the ups and downs of sharp turns!
Slowly tell you the story that the director and screenwriter want to show to the audience without losing the rhythm that attracts the audience. You can say that it is very simple but can also add gorgeous words.
Really a small but worth watching good movie

McFarland, USA quotes

  • Maria Marisol: [reading Jose Cardenas's paper] We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves, floating on a warm wind. When we run, we own the earth. The land is ours. We speak the birds' language. Not immigrant no more. No stupid Mexicans. When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods. When we run, we are the gods.

  • Maria Marisol: Welcome to McFarland, Blanco.
