The unfocused eagle with the corners of the mouth always up

Eddie's facial expressions and body movements are always funny, especially the corners of his mouth that rise 365 days. Such an athlete with more commitment and grit than most skiers is in some ways less. Because of his lack of roots, he doesn't know how to wink, and because he is indeed an athlete who is not upright and not popular, he has been treated unfairly and even marginalized. He was scared to death for the first time drinking alcohol the night before the opening game of the Olympic Games. I am afraid that he will not be able to realize his dream because of deliberate frame-up. Fortunately, the ending is not bad. At first, he was looked down upon by the British National Olympic Committee, and later he was framed by his teammates. Even if he achieved good results in the Olympic Games, the coach still did not allow him to enter the dining venue. . . . . As a spectator, even I felt that my self-esteem was hurt 10,000 points, but his energy and eyes were only focused on his own goal, and there was the final miracle. This undivided attention is the biggest factor in his success! In short, this chicken soup for the soul is not very annoying, but pleasant.
Impressive dialogue at both ends: [1] The Finnish trapeze said to him in the elevator before the competition: We're like 1 o'clock and 11 o'clock, we're closer than others. Winning, fialling just for those little men. Just free our soul. You must know that the Finnish trapeze didn't even want to give Eddie his autograph when he appeared in the movie, so this is a recognition of his spirit from the heart.
[2] British sports commentators quoted the words of Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, on Eddie's evaluation: The most important thing in Olympic is not winning but taking part. The important thing in life is not triumph but stuggle, an appropriate evaluation .
In the end, this story reminded me of another familiar phrase "if you want to go, the whole world will make way for you."

    Such a hard-working film was not released overnight.

    Special routines, no surprises, of course no mistakes, I really like the retro electronic soundtrack.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Eddie Edwards: I just thought we could have a little chat about me being an Olympic ski-jumper.

    Bronson Peary: You've more chance of being a ballerina than a jumper.

    Eddie Edwards: Good one. I was juts after a few tips, really.

    Bronson Peary: Give up, there's one for free.

  • Bronson Peary: [showing Eddie the models of the different ramps] I felll in love with this sport, man. It started with this little baby. This 15 metre little vixen. You manage to land that because it's meant to hook you into the sport, right, so otherwise you wouldn't even bother trying. The 40 meter, when you stack you get bruised, which I don't have to explain to *you*.

    Eddie Edwards: [chuckles] Sorry.

    Bronson Peary: The 70 metre, you break bones and you're lucky if you can walk again. The 90 metre. The goddess. Let's just say in the Wild West we'd be measuring you for your coffin before you even reach the stairs. Never forget that, kid.
