It has to be said that Hollywood movies now rely more and more on true stories. On the one hand, it is the helplessness and lack of words of the screenwriters. On the other hand, it proves that the truth is the most moving.
As a football fan who just became a football fan, watching this movie is really a bit of worry and sadness. I can't help but think of my Tom Brady, Gronkowski, Julian. I don't know or dare to think that they will grow old This problem also occurs. Before I knew football, in my concept as a sports fan, the sport was nothing more than two piles of strong men fighting. But when you slowly understand and pay attention to it, you will really understand and appreciate the beauty, grace, power that Will Smith said in the last speech of the movie.
Football, as the largest sport in the United States, has a far-reaching significance. Far more than any ordinary ball game brings to this country, it is people's life, it is some kind of underlying belief, as Julian said in the movie, "God is number one, and Football is number two ". Sunday people go home after church and wait for the afternoon game, especially in the deep south or the north central where there aren't as many immigrants, or a city like Pittsburgh with a strong football heritage, that kind of life. Habits do not know how long it has been silently maintained. While people love it, they are subconsciously unwilling to accept the negative effects it brings, and in the movie, NFL officials are only expressing the "mindfulness" of most people in a certain way.
The movie does not emphasize the so-called business too much, just like Dr. Omalu did not emphasize his medical terminology in the final speech, the human heart is soft and fragile, and the rejection of cold facts is an instinct. . If it is not the relatives of the players or the NFL profitee, in fact, the heart may be entangled. So the movie ended in a more "emotional" way. Not ignored, but not deliberate, just the most gentle exposition of reality.
As far as the movie itself is concerned, there are not so many highlights. The audience is just thinking about a little tangled in their hearts as the movie itself progresses. What impresses me the most is the strong struggling in Will's eyes outside of the characters. As an Eagles fan for many years, he told reporters after the film, "I haven't seen a whole game. . I walk through the airport and I'll see something, or I'll see a play on the news. It's really stressful now. It definitely created a conflict for me. It's still beautiful, it's still America's favorite game. That doesn't t change at all. It just has another side, that once you see and once you know and once you understand, you can't not see."
I think that's what a lot of people who watch the movie want to say afterward.
