When Hugh Jackman is mentioned, many people have the impression that he plays "Wolverine".
In fact, he also starred in an "anti-routine" Olympic movie "Flying Eagle Eddie", which is very exciting, and the content is very different from ordinary inspirational films.
Eddie has only started to switch from alpine skiing to high skiing since he was 20 years old, and he only participated in one of the Winter Olympics in Calgary in 1988, did not win a medal, and the results were the first to last, but why does such a story make people clap their hands and laugh and cry?
Eddie the Eagle is based on the true story of British skier Michael Ed woods. Eddie was played by Taren Edgerton, who became popular in Ace Agent: Secret Agent Academy, and Hugh Jackman as Eddie's coach.
When Eddie got a picture book of Olympic stars when he was a child, he dreamed of participating in the Olympic Games when he grew up.
His physical condition is not good, he has been short-sighted since he was a child, and he has suffered injuries in his legs, which can be said to be mediocre qualifications. After feeling unable to participate in the Summer Olympics, he set his sights on alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics.
Thanks to Eddie's hard work, he also achieved some results in alpine skiing and was selected for the Olympic selection team.
But at a sponsorship event that invited business owners, Eddie was "invited" out of the selection team because of his clumsy actions, and the team leader concluded that he would never be suitable for the Olympic Games.
The lost Eddie had to go out to work with his father, who was a mason, and accidentally learned about the ski jumping project, and knew that there were no other ski jumpers in the country at that time, and he had no competitors, so he was ready to turn to jumping.
He went to a jumping camp in Germany to train, and because he was penniless, he had to work in a bar to get a place to eat and live.
Eddie, like most ordinary people, is not very talented and has an ordinary family, but the biggest difference between him and the average person is that he has a clear goal and is willing to do his best for it.
Many of us may have had such and such dreams when we were young, but as we grew up, or because of the nervousness of learning, or because of the opposition of our parents or others, we forgot our dreams and began to live a backwater life, and the cycle began.
Eddie looked silly, but his persistence made many people ashamed and excited!
Peary, played by Hugh Jackman, and Eddie are two diametrically opposed people.
Pierrey is extremely talented and has achieved excellent results early on. Unfortunately, he did not focus on skiing, liked to drink and talk about friends, and was expelled by the coach, and could only do the work of clearing the slopes at the ski camp.
After Peelrie met Eddie, he was touched by Eddie's dedication to his own desperation, and happened to see the evaluation of himself in the book written by the coach, and finally understood the connotation of "trying your best, even if the result is failure".
What Pierrey lacks is Eddie's focus and persistence, which is a pity to waste his talent.
Such talented athletes who do not emerge in the end can be said to be common. There are many reasons, but the main reasons may all be like Pierrey.
Pierrey and Eddie are actually learning from each other. Pierrey also began to drink less and really became Eddie's coach, coaching with heart.
Eddie tried his best, and finally at the last moment, he got on the bus to the Winter Olympics.
Although his results are not good enough, he can participate in the Olympic Games and has fulfilled his biggest childhood dream.
The official race began, and Eddie was surprised, and the result of ski jumping in the 70 meters was the last place. But he still set his personal best and set a new british ski jump.
Eddie is constantly improving, and he's excited about it. After the action, he happily danced a cute dance, which was loved by the audience, and reporters from various media also flocked to interview him.
After that, Eddie decided to participate in the 90-meter ski jump.
This is undoubtedly very risky, such a high jump platform is easy to fall, not to mention Eddie has never jumped 90 meters before!
In the end, Eddie overcame the tension, stubbornly broke the back of the back that was about to land on the ground, landed steadily, and refreshed his personal record again!
The audience boiled, Eddie and Pierrey hugged tightly, the commentator in the live broadcast room was also Pierrey's former coach, and Eddie's parents sitting in front of the TV were even more excited.
Eddie didn't win the championship, but he constantly challenged himself as if he had won the championship.
At the end of the film, a real image is released. A passage from the host was touching: "Some people broke the world record, some people created personal records, and some people flew high like eagles." It was Eddie, who stood up to the cheers of the audience and waved to everyone.
For the things you love, you have worked hard, even if you don't get a medal, but you have no regrets.
And the father of the modern Olympic Games, Coubertin, has long said that what is important in the Olympic Games is not victory, but participation; what is important in life is not to return triumphantly, but to work hard.
Athletes who win medals at the Olympic Games and other competitions deserve to be praised, but those who worked hard and didn't win awards deserve praise.
In reality, Eddie only participated in the Winter Olympics once.
However, in the eyes of the world, he can also be called successful.
After that year's Winter Olympics, Eddie received many invitations to perform jump skating. The reward was £10,000 for 1 hour of performance, and he earned £750,000 a year alone.
After the release of "Eddie the Eagle" in 2016, Eddie began to promote and speak for the film, and paid a lot of money.
Eddie has shown a way out for many ordinary people.
Even if we are ordinary, as long as we have worked hard and struggled for the things we love, no matter what the result is, this life has not been in vain.
