McFarland, USA
Disney's sports-themed film McFarland is a biographical film about trail running, in which lead actor Kevin Costner is no longer the majestic father of Yellowstone, but a sports coach.
Based on an inspiring true story, McFarland, America tells the story of the vulnerable overcoming hardships and obstacles. This touching film tells the story of a predominantly Latino high school where novice runners work to build a cross-country team led by coach Jim White (Kevin Costner).
Everyone has a lot to learn from each other, but things change when coaches realize the boys' excellent running abilities. Beyond their talents, it was the strength of their families, commitment to each other, and work ethic that turned them into champions — helping them achieve their American Dreams.
In fact, the run-in between the coach and the students is not as easy as it seems, at first Kevin Costner, as an old white man, is like a fish out of the water in the Mexican ethnic settlement, and the students love to answer him during class. On the way to work, they found that the students were very talented in running, and they still had to say good things to the students, so they agreed to team up.
Fortunately, the kung fu pays off, and the results of this wild team are amazing:
Under White's direction, the team became very successful, winning nine state championships in fourteen years. All members of the first team became the first in their families to enter college or pursue a career in the military.
With courage and determination, coach White's unlikely group of runners ended up not only building a champion cross-country team, but also creating a beloved (spiritual) legacy. Along the way, Jim and his family realized that they had finally found a place to call home.
The rhythm of the whole play of "McFarland" is to be promoted first, the first half is a bit mournful, and the second half begins to burn high. Because it is a real-life adaptation, the final subtitle explains the respective status of the character archetypes.
These running teenagers later became journalists, some policemen, district presidents, teachers, and a member of the prison.

More than twenty years later, they reunited with their coach to talk about this dream-changing experience with Kevin Costner and the director, And Costner said that running is only the background element of this film, and you can feel the estrangement between different races from the beginning, to the understanding and tolerance of each other later, and the spirit of sports has been inspiring everyone to keep moving forward, which is the most touching.
If we set goals for our children and our young men and women and let them see what is possible, they can exceed their own craziest expectations. This movie is a good lesson.
