Brother Santiago (the protagonist of the story), a poor genius, met by chance. Bole encountered setbacks unexpectedly when it broke through family resistance and its dream was about to come true. When everything was terrible, and seeing a miserable ending, a turning point emerged, and new hope put him on the road to success. The development after that was smooth sailing, although there will be ups and downs, but it does not prevent our Xiaosang from finally standing on the pitch of the key battle, with a winning goal to come to a happy ending. Yes, he was "famous with one goal".
The family relationship branch of father and son, the relationship branch of beautiful girlfriends, the friendship branch of various friends... the main line is clear, the side line is plump, each plot is fully developed, and there is no slow down. The essence of the drama, the contradictions and conflicts, is well presented in front of the audience. It's a pity that this kind of plot has been abused by directors all over the world, and even when the audience sees a key conflict, they will say: Ah, the following development should be like this...Tradition has reduced this movie to second-rate. However, this is not the evaluation it deserves, at least not mine. I will give it full marks because it touches me, a kind of non-infinite touch. I can be sure that the director is a person who loves football, or he is a person who understands people who love football.
I have always believed that football is a sport for men, although I am not a patriarch. Passion, passion, blood pressure, there are enough words to describe the first movement. And this movie interprets it well. When the camera shook the St. James’s Park, when tens of thousands of people sang a song and waved the same towel, I was shocked when the ball rolled into the goal. The real sense of the scene was fully revealed to me. In front of his eyes, let people blend into it. This is what moved me most as a fan.
Reality is a highlight of this movie. Real extraordinary action, full of texture to dribble forward, each action is professional (at least more real than a domestic film a few years ago), although in real games, there are only players of Ronaldinho's level Can be used calmly, more often not seen, and impractical. But when used here, it didn't reduce the realism of the film, on the contrary, it increased the appreciation degree, which was very colorful.
Using a real club, it is full of enthusiasm. Newcastle, under the leadership of Shearer, achieved very good results in the 1990s, allowing more Chinese fans to recognize this team that wears black and white arrows like Juventus. Although after Hiller retired, it was silent for a while, but with Owen's return, it once again became the object of fans' attention. And the guest appearance of the star makes people shine. Shearer's inadvertent display of power and Beckham's sudden appearance made people unbelievable for a while. And Zidane and Raul that appeared after that made people knowingly smile, it turns out that there are also Adi and Real Madrid.
When I look at things these days, I always think of many things. As an amateur player, although he does not have outstanding skills, he has always had one regret: he did not win the championship in any competition. I have participated in the finals many times, either with bad luck and losing on a penalty kick; or the whole team suddenly misfired and saw the trophy being lifted by others. I have never thought about why I lose, but I just feel the injustice of fate and the bad luck of fortune. When writing these words, I suddenly had an answer: I lacked the belief in victory. Yes, every time I play, I feel that as long as I play, I don’t make mistakes. I have luck in winning or losing. So there is always a feeling of depression, a feeling of not having fun. What would be the result if I were not afraid of making mistakes and not looking forward and backward? I have no idea. Is it due to character or habitual thinking? It seems that it will take some time to get the real answer.
There is a sentence in the film that impressed me deeply. This sentence appeared in the first conflict, Xiao Sang's father opposed him giving up the life he arranged for him, and playing football as a career. When he faced his father's obstruction, he roared out this sentence: "It's your life, not mine!" It's still a very old-fashioned plot and dialogue, but it does not prevent you from recollecting the meaning of these six words. For me now, I think this sentence is right, but what will I think about ten years from now, twenty years from now?
This is a movie worth watching. Whether you are a fan or not, it will make you fall in love with football.
There has always been a wish that Tianjin team can win a domestic league championship. At that time, even if we don’t have a majestic home stadium like St. James, even if we don’t sing a century-old team song, even if we can’t wave the towel with the club logo, but I think I will definitely be there to experience the joy firsthand .
To borrow a word from the NBA: I love this game!
