Never give up in battle - "The Killing of Munich"
Today, let's talk about the movie "The Killing of Munich".
Title Движение вверх / Going Vertical / Three Seconds / Dvizhenie vverkh (2017), alias Leap Up / Leap Up.
This Russian film is based on true events in sports history.
In 1972, in the basketball final of the Munich Olympics in Germany, the Soviet basketball team defeated the American team and finally won the Olympic championship.
It is easier said than done to defeat the US team that has maintained a 36-year winning record. If there is not enough strength, the person who proposes to beat the US team will definitely be regarded as a lunatic.
The former head coach of the Soviet basketball team, Gomelsky, was a Jew. Due to the intensification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the time, diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Israel deteriorated rapidly. In order to prevent Gomelsky from defecting by taking advantage of the Munich Olympics, the Soviet Union quickly changed the head coach.
In the previous Olympic Games, the Soviet Union could reach the finals, but they all won the runner-up. On this basis, the new head coach proposed to defeat the U.S. team and win the Olympic championship. Everyone will think that the goal is difficult, but it is not a nonsense.
The new Soviet head coach Kondrazin was originally the head coach of the Leningrad team. At the same time, he recruited a young center under 20 years old in his club, Alexander Belov, into the national team. He and another main player Sergei. Belov is not related by blood.
The translation of the title of the film "The Killing of Munich" is interesting. "Движение вверх" means "move up" in Russian. When translated into English, the title of the film is called "Going Vertical" or directly called "Three Seconds".
Therefore, when translated into Chinese names, "Leap Up", "Leap Up" and "Three Seconds" are translations that are more faithful to the original work. When translated into "The Killing of Munich", the film suddenly has a little more action Cinematic atmosphere. When I propose to watch "The Killing of Munich", the other party will say that he is not interested in shooting movies, don't watch shooting and killing... I will also take the time to explain that this is a movie about sports history.
Since the film is called "Three Seconds", the last and most crucial three seconds of the entire game will also become the most important scene in the film. In the last three seconds, a controversial event in the history of sports occurred.
The film faithfully restores the scene of the year. As shown in the film, the final 3-second countdown actually happens twice.
For the first time, the Soviet team's head coach Kondrazin requested a timeout from the technical desk and arranged the Soviet team's offensive tactics for the last three seconds. However, the timeout was not implemented. After appealing for the first rematch, the Soviet team was awarded three seconds. Bell. In these three seconds, the Soviet team failed to score.
The second time, the Soviet team re-appealed, because the timer was from 53 seconds to 50 seconds, not 3 seconds to 0 seconds.
It was at this point that a key player came on the scene, and FIBA Secretary General William Jones backed up the Soviet team's two requests, so the game was able to restart.
That is, in the most crucial three seconds, defender Yedeshko passed a long pass from the backcourt to help Alexander Belov complete the lore.
In fact, even William Jones did not expect that these three seconds could change the result of the whole game. He admitted afterwards that he was just pursuing procedural justice.
The seven-game winning streak of the Olympic Games and the 63-game winning streak of the U.S. team was ended. After the game, the U.S. team was still unconvinced, and even refused to take the silver medal at the award ceremony, and told future generations not to accept it. The silver medal remains unclaimed in the Swiss Olympic Museum. The U.S. team also appealed to the referee committee. The five members of the referee committee were from Hungary, Cuba, Poland, Italy and Puerto Rico. The first three supported the Soviet team and the last two supported the U.S. team. The final appeal was 3:2 to determine the result of the game efficient.
The movie is hot. The film is full of collectivism. The big brother of the Soviet Union, who was once at one pole of the world, has long since fallen apart. Naturally, the Russians have to take over the mantle of the former Soviet Union and strive to become the new pole of the world.
This film, which shows the brilliant achievements in the history of Soviet sports, successfully set a box office record in Russia and became the highest-grossing film in Russian history.
The film is filled with a strong sense of collective honor and national pride. The vast Soviet Union can screen players across the country, which makes the Soviet team born with super genes. It is unreasonable that the super-strong team has never reached the Olympic championship. The Soviet team's success this time will naturally give strong confidence to the people of the motherland.
The same is true in the film. At first, the team members had their own thoughts, and even thought about defecting to foreign countries. In the end, under the infection of the head coach, they turned back and united. It is not ruled out that there is a black Soviet Union here, but they can contribute more to humanity in difficult situations. Even in difficult situations, they can still adhere to collectivism and give up their personal interests. It is more touching to cheer together at the end.
Three seconds to complete the lore is probably only written in film and television works, but this is the real history of the Olympic Games.
These three seconds are so dramatic that they become a tribute to latecomers. In the final battle of the most bloody "Xiangbei VS Shanwang" in "Slam Dunk", Sakuragi Huadao's bloody lore, the prototype is this game.
The two giants in the Cold War are fighting each other in every aspect, especially sports and culture.
Sports performance also represents the comprehensive strength of a country to a certain extent. Supporting professional athletes to go to the international arena requires a complete system behind it. In small countries, spectators can only see amateur athletes go to the competition as part-timers, and only a powerful country can afford a set of content for professional athletes.
This is especially true of cultural positions. Cultural positions are also part of the ideological struggle. If you do not seize them, they will be seized by hostile forces. The Soviet Union defeated its old rival, the United States, to win the championship. It would be a pity not to shoot such a good subject. Americans have made so many sports inspirational movies, and patriotic education is very effective. Naturally, Russia cannot be resigned to others.
In addition, sports and politics are inseparable, and being able to win such an important victory during the Cold War was a huge boost to the Soviets at that time. After the basketball team returned to China, it has been regarded as a hero.
Those who emphasize friendship first and competition second are often the ones who can't get the first place, so they can only talk about masturbation in the spirit of Ah Q.
Never give up in battle,
Inspiring people inside and out.
