I believe that just watching the trailer is enough to be enthusiastic, whether it is the cast: actor and "Ace Agent: Secret Service" actor Taron Egerton and Wolverine, Hugh Jackman's match, or the production. The people are created by the director of "X-Men: The First World War" and "Ace: The Secret Service": Matthew Vaughn and the production team of "Ace: The Secret Service". They are all eye-catching and vibrating. And in this film, the stereotype of "practice, fail, practice again, fail again, and finally succeed." The film is vivid, hilarious at first, and ends in tears.
The good-looking film of the mashup of comedy and sports comes from the easy and interesting life scenes and happy moments extracted by the screenwriter and director from the real story. Producer Matthew Vaughn once said that he and his children were deeply infected after watching "Crossing on Ice", so he decided to make a new inspirational movie for modern young people and children to watch, and here is "Eddie the Eagle." So it is conceivable that in their childhood, Eddie was portrayed as naive and fearless, living in the world of himself and sports, dreaming that one day he could participate in the Olympic Games, even if he took the bus in front of his house. In this way, at a certain moment in childhood, we become obsessed with a certain sport or a certain thing, and we may not even remember much ourselves. With that kind of enthusiasm, everyone thinks that they must be No. 1 in that field. And the reason Eddie became a legendary athlete is that he continued this idea for a lifetime and firmly believed that he could succeed.
This kind of dream insistence sometimes turns into a bitter drama, but this film is different, turning Eddie's difficulties, negation, and whimsical nature into an element of ridicule. People who don't admit to Eddie get ridiculous, and Eddie himself seems a little self-deprecating and naive. For him, everything is very simple; he just does what he wants, and this kind of appeal runs through the whole film. Even boring workouts are turned into fantasy scenes of sex with a favorite movie heroine by the film's alcoholic coach, the former American snow jumper played by Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman is the only one in the film who holds up the only pornographic scene. I don't know how much will be cut in the Chinese version released on March 18. In short, this process of self-healing is more than you think. Long, the ups and downs in it, hearty, well, you will understand after reading the original version. This kind of light comedy and inspiration makes the film not boring, which is different from the biographies of Olympic athletes in the past. because Eddie Edwards himself is a wonderful athlete. At an age when others gave up their sports careers, he started snow-jumping at the age of 22. After training for less than a year, he participated in the Olympic Games and insisted on challenging the highest 90-meter platform. At the end of the whole film, the core of sportsmanship is again emphasized. The most important thing about the Olympics is always participation. In addition to the moment of victory, it is more about enjoying the process of struggle. The film for adults and children is based on the inspirational tone of the film comedy, which is suitable for both adults and children. On the Friday of the premiere, many parents brought their 4-5-year-old children to watch this new film. On the one hand, through Eddie's experience, this film tells us once again the story of defeat before victory, sometimes more than once. Because the victories are so dazzling, we often forget that, whether scientists, entrepreneurs, or athletes, everyone must have tasted failure before they succeed and become famous, and we often ignore this important process. When you think about success, are you ready for that almost doomed failure? And between the winner and the loser, it may be the process of getting up and fighting again after this failure. The same is true of Eddie in the film. In training, it is a fiasco to fall out of Xiangxiang. The more he is only one jump away from the Olympic Games, the more mistakes he will make. We often miss that one chance. How are you going to face this fact or even a more tragic failure? And when you succeed, how do you cheer, maybe like Eddie, gallop like an eagle on the ski slopes?
On the other hand, the film shows the children how important it is to keep a heart for chasing dreams. In the face of denial from the outside world, or even opposition from family members, how to strengthen the original intention and strive to prove yourself with strength and actions? Kate Winslet, who recently won the BAFTA Award for "Jobs", said once again that since she studied acting, even in the face of the teacher's denial, she has insisted on continuing her acting path, and she is also open to those who lose weight, Girls without self-confidence say, don't give up your dreams because of anyone's denial. In "Eagle Eddie", Eddie said that his two motivations for snow jumping are that he likes the sport, and the other is to prove that those who deny him are wrong. He said he needed a moment of his own. The film's high-risk snow jumping sports, whether it is a subjective lens or a high-altitude shooting, makes the palms sweat, as if once again feeling the thrill of "Walking in the Clouds". Especially under the premise that many athletes fall and get injured, such a jump is not only a victory or a defeat, but almost life and death, which makes the sport more sacred and great, and also makes Eddie's landing more exciting and exciting. In the first weekend of the film's release, the foreign media's word of mouth already exploded, and some media said: "As an athlete, maybe Eddie will never be able to get on the podium, but as the protagonist of the movie "Eagle Eddie," he flew into the sky." This is also the most real feeling in the whole film. Eddie has never won any Olympic gold medals, but he used his legendary leap to create a miracle, and the British fell in love with people. Now that his story has been made into a movie, he will make an immortal leap in front of more people. It is said that the male protagonist of the original film was originally Ron of the "Harry Potter" series: Rupert Grint, but during the period of full-time production, a major change of actors and directors was carried out. Dexter Fletcher, a famous British filmmaker, has been working as a director after starring in "Band of Brothers" and "Two Smoking Guns". And Taron Egerton's last year with "Ace Agent: The Secret Service", can be said to be bursting with popularity, and his acting skills are also very powerful. This time, pretending to be ugly and continuing the comedy line, for him, instead of imprisoning some handsome type characters, he has more room to play. Taron Egerton used explicit acting skills to describe this lovely athlete in detail in terms of behavior and expression. Even if it looks a bit too much, it is still lovable.
In the film, in addition to Taron Egerton's lively performance, you will also see the old-school Hugh Jackman, continue to play handsome and bohemian in the film. In the film, he jumped from a 90-meter high platform at night when he was drunk, and he was outrageously handsome. The dramatic conflict between the two characters and the comparison of their acting skills are a highlight of the film. Many of the opposing plays complement each other. One is honest and diligent, the other is old-fashioned; one only drinks milk, the other only drinks spirits; one to keep out the cold. And all of this has paved the way for the sublimation of the last teacher-student friendship. Such a dangerous snow-jumping sport can sometimes be dizzying as if the coach trains a student just to watch him walk up to the 70-meter or 90-meter platform, but there is a high chance of seeing them Severely injured. However, it is also necessary to give them self-confidence, to convince the athletes that they can do it and that they are the best. And Eddie's family has the same heart, not only wanting Eddie to participate in the Olympic Games but also worrying about the potential risks of snow jumping. In the film, the biscuit box that his mother gave Eddie twice is the most tender part. She is an example of mothers all over the world, who always believe in their children, and that they can create miracles. A good movie tells a good story, so that's enough. This bowl of thick chicken soup will make you more bravely pursue that moment that belongs to you.
