hero movies without heroes

Before talking about the movie, I want to say something that reminded me when I watched this movie. A class teacher in high school will use a multimedia projector to show everyone the ranking of the exams in the class at the class meeting after each monthly exam or large-scale exam, and then comment in turn. "So-and-so did very well this time", "So-and-so has made a lot of progress this time, it's not bad", "So-and-so, what's wrong with you, this is not at your level", "So-and-so's math score is very good this time. , you will be very good next time if you are not partial to subjects." Part encouraging comments, part criticism, nothing terribly mean. But using excel to comment on everyone's grades from the beginning to the end has the deepest impact on me. When I see excel now, I always think of the expression of the head teacher frowning and commenting on the grades. Because my grades are not particularly stable, they hover in the middle most of the time, so every time I see the ranking, I will be a little nervous. If it is not too bad, I will breathe a sigh of relief - but it happened to be my score in the mock test before the college entrance examination. It was the worst one, the sixth from the bottom. I think I will always remember some of the "shocks" that the sixth-to-last gave me at that time. In addition to being sad because of humiliation, that shock also has a deep doubt about myself - can I? The college entrance examination is coming soon, what should I do? I have done a lot of math problems, is it useless at all? And then it was an intensified self-denial - maybe my grades were like this, maybe I wasn't smart enough, I wasn't that material. Maybe it's a "poor" student, and I wouldn't expect a miracle in the college entrance examination. Loser, yes, is a loser. Speaking of Loser, it's time to go back to the movies. In fact, it is a simple movie. "Eagle Eddie" tells the story of a British athlete Eddie representing the United Kingdom in the 1988 Winter Olympics. In fact, there are many sports movies, most of which tell the story of an athlete becoming a champion and achieving success through continuous efforts. The beginning of this movie is similar to other movies of the same type. The protagonist has no talent. Eddie has bad legs and feet and needs support to walk. Then he found himself very interested in sports. After removing the support, he tried A lot of sports, a lot of broken glasses, and a lot of injuries on his body, but he didn't have good grades, and he didn't show the slightest talent for sports. His father was skeptical of his various madness and kept telling others that it was always better to be realistic, and his mother occasionally encouraged him. In the meantime, he changed sports, made adjustments all the time, and finally set his goal on the ski jumping event of the Winter Olympics. Then he went to Germany to learn to ski and met Kind of cool and likes drinking coach Peel. Of course, Peel was only a second-rate coach working in the ski resort at the time, or it was because of the common downfall that Peel finally decided to guide him. There are so many movies that are like this, and in the middle we might think that Eddie must get the medal and succeed at the end, but he didn't and finished last. It might be a bit of a disappointment to say that, but the last athlete named Eddie achieved his best result in the ski jumping event. He was very happy, he was very excited, he danced excitedly on the snow field, The audience started shouting his name and cheering for him - he didn't win a medal, but he was respected by more people, he became a hero. In the beginning he was just his own hero, the Loser in the eyes of others. But then, when people applauded him, he became everyone's hero. The magic of this movie is that it is so mundane yet so exciting. Compared to many superhero movies, such a movie will be more exciting. The film's box office was mediocre, and even if its creator came to China to promote it, it did not become a dark horse at the box office. But this movie should not be measured by the box office. A really good movie is a movie that can leave something in the hearts of the audience. It was produced by the creator of Kingsman, Taron was so fat he was barely recognizable as the cool teenage agent, and Hugh Jackman was still too cool to have friends. The film's soundtrack is the bright tune of the late 1980s—after all, it's a comedy-inspired sports-inspired film. In the action scenes of the film, because ski jumping is a very thrilling sport, there will be very good-looking action scenes. Of course, Uncle Wolf's [beep-] teaching method is also a good-looking "action" scene. The filming of the film, the mountains and snow and the beauty, look very good. The film structure, a very strict three-stage structure, takes the transition before and after participating in ski training. The theme of the film, and one of the best parts of the film, is to tell us that a successful person can be a loser, or that a loser can be successful. It is not others who define yourself, but yourself. I don't want to write this little essay as chicken soup, but I just keep thinking about a lot of ideas when watching this movie. Like those moments when it didn't work out, like some people I met in the UK. Just when I was hesitating whether to write, I saw an article in a column I liked that was full of all kinds of discrimination, to the effect that "Zootopia" is not credible, and the Chinese people do not mix well outside, they are all the bottom, Not a success. What amazes me is why a column I like can have a racism, occupational discrimination , geographical discrimination, and sexism mixed together. Then I think of the one that released the rankings with a projector and commented one by one, it seems that everything has an explanation. The process of education that most people receive is actually a continuous process of discipline. Although on the surface we are taught all kinds of truth, goodness and beauty, in fact, under the wording of truth, goodness and beauty, there are often some mean prejudices, and these hidden prejudices may actually change a society more than blatant ones. When a head teacher commented on the grades of the whole class on the multimedia, he thought it was a way of motivating, but in fact, he made some students feel a sense of superiority, but made others feel helpless. Students who are troubled by this have a hard time seeing their progress, because those grades really don't count for much better grades. And a phenomenon caused by this is that everyone is taking the grades as the only reference, and his personality and the efforts he has made for this are ignored. In a social Darwinian atmosphere, we all judge people by similar criteria. It is easier to make judgments based on relatively preliminary things such as a person's grades, money, and appearance, rather than trying to find the bright spots of everyone. Under the Spartan education system, We demand the approval of our elders and others without fully realizing what we should be able to do as a human being. Eddie the Eagle is not a hero. He has only participated in the Olympics once and was the last one. The reason why he is remembered is because of his own attempts and the sincerity shown in such attempts. Some time ago, Gao Xiaosong released a song "Life is more than just living in front of you". He said that there are also poems and distances. Many people laughed at this, saying it was chicken soup for the soul. In fact, I think that the reason why Gao Xiaosong said that the life in front of him is difficult is because of the social Darwinism atmosphere in this society. To put it bluntly, if there is a little more kindness among the public, I think we don't need poetry and distance at all. Heroes are loved and fascinated because of the "Superman" part of them, but sometimes a hero is a hero because he honestly faces the ordinary side of his "Superman" appearance. The reason for liking Eddie the Eagle is really simple. When everyone is shouting for excellence, believing what they say but laughing at those who really do it, he foolishly fulfilled his dream. Being a down-to-earth idealist and trying not to laugh at those who have dreams is probably what this movie is trying to tell us. Reviews, everything seems to be explained.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Matti Nykänen: You and I... You and I are like one o'clock and eleven o'clock. You see, we are closer to each other than to others. Winning, losing, all that stuff is for the little people. Men like us, we jump to free our souls. We are the only two jumpers with a chance to make history today. If we do less than our best with the whole world watching, it will kill us inside. For all time.

    Eddie Edwards: Good luck, Matti.

  • Official Speaker: [At the Closing Ceremony of the Calgary Olympics] You have broken world records. You have established many of your own personal bests and some of you have even soared like an eagle.
