I made up "fever pitch" last night. To exaggerate, it should be the best sports movie I've ever seen, if it's also a sports movie. Paul loves Arsenal so much that everything in life can come to him. Arsenal can be said to be everything before he met Hughes, and even after he met Hughes, it was what he cared about the most. I wonder why Hughes and Paul are together? It should be counted as one of the places in the movie that I didn't understand very well, but the other scenes, especially the scenes showing Paul's love for his home team, really made me feel a lot. At the end of the movie, Paul finally waited until he violated the championship for 18 years. At this time, his feelings for Arsenal suddenly became relieved, not so paranoid, and not only Arsenal in life, maybe this is the real fanaticism.

Fever Pitch quotes

  • Paul Ashworth: Why is it that adults aren't supposed to go mad about anything? You gotta keep a lid on it. And if you don't then people are apparently entitled to say what they like. "You haven't grown up. You're a moron. Your conversation is trivial and boorish. You can't express your emotional needs. You can't relate to your children." And you die, lonely and miserable. But you know, what the hell, every cloud has a silver lining.

  • Paul Ashworth: [after Robert missed the goal at the end of the game] If you had to choose between wining this afternoon and Arsenal winning tomorrow night, what would you go for?

    Robert: Tomorrow night of course!

    Paul Ashworth: There you go then.

    Robert: What, you're telling me, Arsenal are gonna win two nil at Anfield?

    Paul Ashworth: I can't promise, can I? Well there's a, chance isn't there? You've done your bit, you've missed the penalty. If that's what it takes then it'll be worth it.

    Robert: Yeah, course.
