I don't know if you have a good time during the National Day holiday?
Anyway, this little long vacation, Xiaoying has been watching movies at home.
In addition to watching "Wu Shuang", "Shadow", "Find You" and other popular movies released in theaters, Xiaoying also watched a particularly burning movie——
"Basketball Champion"
It is said that the background of this film is not small, it is Spain's esoteric film in 2019.
The plot of the story is actually very simple and old-fashioned. It tells the story of a frustrated coach in the workplace and a private player working together to create a brilliant story.
It should be noted that these folk players are a group of basketball players who are born with mental retardation and suffer from Down syndrome.
The protagonist is an assistant coach of a college basketball team named Mark.
His life is not smooth and his career is not successful, so his temper is also very hot——
On the field, he will beat the coach for different tactics;
Drunk driving, assaulting police cars, and even insulting traffic police.
After this wave of abnormal operations, he was successfully fired from the team and sent to the police station.
Three times the alcohol content, intentionally damaging a police car, maliciously assaulting a police officer, refusing to arrest...
Mark successfully demonstrated to us that if you don't die, you won't die.
Fortunately, with the aura of the protagonist, there are two paths in front of him——
Either pay compensation, revoke your driver's license, and serve a year and a half in jail.
Or go to community service, when and where the court decides.
Compared to squatting in prison, Mark naturally chose the latter——
He was placed on the "Friends Association" mentally handicapped basketball team.
Coming to this place, Mark's heart naturally collapsed.
From the assistant coach of the college basketball team to today's disabled team, the gap is not generally large.
Faced with these odd-looking guys, Mark felt helpless.
They are a group of old boys with an average age of 30 but only a few years old at heart——
Hu Anma, a stinky little fat man, often acts like a spoiled child and asks the coach to hug him;
The little yellow-haired Costa, who is often out of his body, refuses to practice in pairs because he thinks teaming up with others is unfaithful to his girlfriend;
The tall, stammering Benito, to hear him speak a whole sentence, at least a minute;
Malin, who was ill because of the damage during childbirth, was always slow to respond, thinking that the problem was always a single tendon.
Although they all play basketball, they only use basketball as a pastime, and they don't always play cards according to common sense.
And the only Roman who can really play basketball, seeing Mark is the same as seeing the enemy who killed his father.
It is conceivable that in order to lead this team well, the burden on Mark's shoulders is heavy.
He spent his days in fear every day, but fortunately, his misanthropy was cured just like that.
That's right, every day is busy answering all kinds of innocent and cute questions to these simple old boys, where is the time to feel sorry for yourself?
However, this is a basketball team.
As a professional basketball coach, he still can't stand all kinds of weird fouls when his players play.
However, they are really playing, just different from ordinary people.
Maybe they're out of tune, can't dribble, can't make four-step layups.
But in their lives, they live more dignifiedly than anyone else——
The stupid Benito, who has no family, gets up at 4 am every day to work in restaurants.
His motorcycle riding skills are far better than many ordinary people.
The foul-smelling Juanma turned out to be drowning when she was a child and dared not take a bath.
He likes small animals, so he found a job at a pet home.
The reason why little yellow-haired Costa loves to dye his hair is because he works in a hair dye factory.
Patient and responsible, he can always find defective products, and the boss will always give them to him.
Each of them, the story behind them is no less than those talent shows.
Either because of childhood misfortune, or because of damage during childbirth, their IQ is far lower than normal.
But the lives they live are more valuable than most normal people.
It is worth mentioning that the actors in this film are indeed mentally handicapped in reality.
You can imagine how difficult it was to make this movie.
But it also just confirms the theme of the movie——
Disabled people can also be self-reliant, and happiness comes from the equality of life.
With such a group of business players, Mark made it all the way to the National League.
Although the embarrassing things encountered in the process, as many as a bunch of——
The players have their own ideas, and everyone wears non-uniform jerseys;
Singing and slapsticking on the bus and being kicked off by the driver;
The elevator broke down and everyone panicked.
But also because of these farces, they became more united and helped each other, and they all became better——
Juanma overcame her fear of water and fell in love with bathing;
Mark cured his claustrophobia and reconciled with his lover.
They ended up only finishing second, and Mark was clearly not happy.
But the players all think that the runner-up is much better than the lone champion.
In their hearts, participating in and enjoying the game is far more fun than winning or losing.
Perhaps, this is the spirit and charm of sports competition.
Under the infection of these lovely team members, Mark was relieved, no longer manic, and no longer so pursuit of perfection.
Yes, although they are not league champions, they are already champions of their own lives.
