There is nothing more exciting than fighting for a dream.

Although there was no miracle in the final game, this was beyond my expectation. According to the "routine", it should be at the last moment that a certain teammate will burst out like a hero and lead everyone to victory, and then the audience will cheer for a happy ending.

It is a pity that reality is often cruel, and there are not so many miracles, which makes this movie more real. God did not say that there will be gains if you give. But the process of fighting for the dream is really enjoyable, especially when so many people are going all the way to the finals for the state championship. Even at the last moment of the movie, I didn't regret losing the game too much. In my heart, I still cheered for these young guys.

When the father who always disliked his son's poor performance, put his state championship ring on his son's hand, I felt an inexplicable warmth. There are winners and losers in the game, but not in life. Seeing his son break through himself in the game, even if he did not win the championship in the end, his father recognized him from the bottom of his heart.

Another scene that impressed me deeply was that when Bobby knew he could no longer participate in the competition, he leaned in his uncle’s arms and cried bitterly. The doctor's diagnosis is tantamount to announcing the end of his sports career, which is a man's dream. What a desperate thing this is. But I was also a little envious at the time, how lucky it was to have one thing I hoped to do my best. On the other hand, I have not had such a desperate idea for many years.

At the end of the film, Mike bid farewell to his teammates and threw the football at the boys playing nearby. I don't know if this means that, as the coach said, he may never play again in his life. But what does it matter? Do you think those energetic children are the next group of young people who will fight for their dreams?
