"As long as there is life, there is no impossibility"

Before watching this movie, I thought the title of this movie was particularly domineering, and it might be better to add an exclamation mark. Knowing that this is a Russian (set in the Soviet era) film, I don't feel uncomfortable sounding Russian. At the beginning of this movie, I was probably most attracted by the height and appearance of the basketball players. Later, I learned that they would wear height-enhancing shoes when they were filming.… The theme of the movie is probably a group of people working towards the same goal and finally succeeding. The goal was to finally defeat the undefeated United States on the basketball court at the Olympics, a success that felt more like "defending the motherland" during the Cold War at the time. Every basketball player is special. I personally think Sergey is the most handsome, with well-developed muscles, a sexy moustache, and of course, "giving the ball to Shelter without knowing what to do" highlights his superb basketball skills. There is such a clip in the movie: All the players have dispersed, and Sergey is training himself with a heavy load. When the coach sees it, the coach asks him why he works so hard. He said, because the previous coach said, "If anything happens, just Give the ball to Sergey." This sense of responsibility made me feel good about Sergey even more. At the same time, it also reminds me of basketball superstar Kobe, who starts training at 4 am every day, even if he passes away, he will always be remembered by the world. I was also impressed by Sergey's love of basketball. The movie focuses on creating some characters, but the content is somewhat different. Paulaskas' desire to betray the country and surrender to the enemy stopped at his feet, because he said that he had already become a family with that group of people, and people could not betray their family. Life is full of choices. He chose to return to the team, return to the embrace of the motherland, and contribute to the victory of the motherland. "If you only had three seconds to live, what would you do?" "What about you?" The scene between Ivan and his girlfriend is heartbreaking. Ivan still sweats on the basketball court knowing that life is short because it's what he loves. My girlfriend has never given up on Ivan. I think this is love. If my lover really doesn't live long, I hope I can accompany him to the end of his life and support him in doing what he likes. At least he is still happy and happy until he closes his eyes. No regrets. Almost forgot an important person - the coach. The original intention of the coach who wanted to become the coach of the Soviet national basketball team was to make money to operate on his son. Although the original intention is utilitarian, it cannot hide the good humanity of the coach. If it was really for the money, why would the money be given to Sasha for the operation later? I can't deny his love for basketball. A person who can truly unite the hearts of the basketball team members is the most difficult and powerful person. Compared with the US national basketball team at that time, the status of blacks and whites seemed to be equal, but undercurrents were surging, and the situation in which they looked down on each other was much better in the Soviet Union. Do real events in reality go so well? The movie is only one or two hours long, and what can be expressed is really limited. But the movie really touched me, made my blood boil, made me lose points in the Soviet team, and made me nervous because of the big difference with the opponent, made me feel the special character of each character, and made me understand the team The power of knots, the power of patriotism. "As long as there is life, there is no impossibility". From a small point of view, it is not impossible for Sasha to stand on the basketball court and continue to play and continue to fall in love with his lover. From a large point of view, it is not impossible for the Soviet national basketball team to defeat the US national basketball team. Believe in this, and keep working hard, you will be successful.
