Becoming famous: the dream of turning over the proletariat children in the third world

Martin Luther King said: I have a dream. everyone has dream. He has it, and we have it. Dreams are divided into two categories: 1. Fame and 2. Profit. The ways to realize these two dreams are also divided into two categories: 1. Body and 2. Spirit. These two methods can be subdivided infinitely, which is the so-called "three hundred and sixty rows, the best of the best." The way the dream was realized later became the dream itself. For example, singing is the dream of a singer and acting is the dream of an actor. No one is so vulgar to regard fame and fortune as their dream. San Diego in "Become Famous" takes football as his dream, in his words That is: football is his life.


His stubborn old man believes that there are two types of people in the world, one is the rich who drive cars and live in western-style buildings, and the other is the poor who drive the mopping floors for these ladies. This pattern cannot be changed. But Sanyago, who has been in the gang, doesn't think so. He thinks that slaves can turn over and become masters by kicking a ball into a big net bag. Just like the poor kids who played from "Shaolin Football" to "Kung Fu", they "still playing football". Don't crush their dreams like stepping on a ball.


As a teenager, San Diego followed his father to smuggle to the United States from Mexico. When he became an adult, he worked as a handyman in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, and he could never be promoted to a waiter because he was racially discriminated against by the Chinese boss: he was not Chinese.


He hid the money in a big leather boot. Did every child have such a "treasure box" when he was young, and "dreams" are cherished at the bottom. He was discovered by a scout on the eve of his plan to go to England to play football. He was shocked to realize that the money in his boots had been "stolen" by his father to buy a clean car. His dream was substantially hit. From here we can see how short-sighted his father is. He refuses to invest in the football that will spin the entire planet, but intends to train his son as a cleaner. As a father, did he experience the painful feeling of seeing two horribly beautiful chicks passing in front of him when his son was in a clean car? This stubborn old man did not fully realize his "American Dream" until his death. But in the end, as the scout said, he will watch his son Sanyago realize his dream in the sky.


For the sake of ideals, that is, money and women, Wei Xiaobao wants to regain his consciousness, and for the sake of ideals, Santiago wants to play football.


Fortunately, his grandmother took out her life savings-this may be the old man's "coffin book"-and sent him to England. When he arrived in England, poverty, disease, and mud did not defeat him. He used the "talent given by God" to make himself "famous". This young man’s life is really good. On his way to fame, despite his father’s obstruction, he met an ignorant football agent and a jealous and dark-footed teammate, but he met his understanding brother. A generous grandma, an indomitable scout, a seemingly stern boss who actually gave him opportunities and advices many times, a friendly and cowardly substitute teammate who sacrificed his knees to give him professional warnings, gave him a house, walked him around the nightclub and helped him plead with him. The big-name teammate who had a penalty kick, how good his life is. Once he went to a nightclub and ran into Beckham, Zidane and Raul in a minute. Beckham patted him on the shoulder very friendly and encouraged. he. Even better, after he was fired from the team, his beautiful nurse friend was kissed by him and became a girlfriend.


What is this, this is fate, this is the destiny that San Diego will become a football star, "the biggest thing is arranged by heaven."


So, this is an inspirational film about football and has nothing to do with football. I don't know what real football fans think. Such a film is related to advertising sponsors, to the promotion of the upcoming World Cup, and to the director's completion of a propositional composition.


It is about a boy who gradually grows into a man through a method he chooses, realizes his dream, and then obtains some accessories of his dream by the way, such as money, better than beautiful women. It doesn't matter whether the boy plays football, sings, plays, does business, or does scientific research. The key is that he realized his dream, and every aspiring young man should do so.
