The hot searches of these two days are very hot, and there are several related to the Olympic championship:
So far, the Chinese team has won 5 golds, ranking first among all countries.
It is worth exaggerating that 4 of the gold medals were obtained by Chinese girls.
Seeing them win the championship, there is a sense of honor that is full of tears!
Competitive sports require speed and strength, so it is easy to be misunderstood as a male-only project, but these girls who have won the championship on the field have confirmed to us that girls can also perform well in competitive sports, and girls can also make achievements in sports.
No, meow to recommend a few sports movies with a female perspective, and see how girls shine in different sports!
Part 1 "I Love Beckham"
Released in 2002, it is positioned as a youth inspirational light comedy, starring Pamind Nagra and Kayla Knightley.
The film is about Jesse, an Indian girl living in The United Kingdom, who dreams of becoming a player as good as an idol because she loves David Beckham and loves football.
But this is not allowed in a conservative and traditional Indian family, so Jesse can only secretly chase dreams.
This movie, I watched more than ten years ago, and I still remember the scene where the heroine practiced all the time in order to realize her dream, so crazy that she played her mother's red pepper and cabbage as a football.
The film is a very common youth inspirational drama, ignoring some slightly naïve, unrealistic chicken soup plot, it is still worth watching, especially to see Indian girls chasing dreams in foreign countries, galloping on the green field, it is inspiring enough.
A few Easter eggs:
1, the second female in this film is Kayla Knightley, after acting in this movie, she went to act in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then became famous in one fell swoop, so in this movie, you can also see a young, tomboy-like Kayla Knightley.
2. The photographer of this film is Lin Liangzhong, a classmate who is one class lower than Ang Lee, who has also served as a photographer in "Blind Mountain", "Donkey Gets Water", and "The Resurrection of the Trilobite of National Treasures", which is his rare youth comedy, is there a feeling that the dimensional wall is broken?
3, the male protagonist (Jonathan Mayers) is super handsome! With blonde hair and a white shirt, she looks sunny and clean, and with this face, it can be relived several times.
Part II: "Bronze Superstar"
Do sports films have to burn, burn, burn like chicken blood?
No, no, no.
If you're tired of the inner volume, then this anti-inspirational, anti-routine movie "Bronze Superstar" is well worth a look.
The film tells the story of Hope, a retired gymnastics bronze medalist, who took over the training of gymnastics rookie Maggie because of the will of the former coach, and finally took her to win the championship.
Unlike the protagonists of previous sports films who always carry the aura of "life educators", the protagonist of this movie is a "strange thing" with many bad problems, she is lazy, vain, selfish, jealous,
But on the other hand, she has sponsored homeless people and helped grandmothers cross the street... In short, a less glamorous but very real person.
And the progress of the story is also the same as the protagonist, which is anti-routine.
"Efforts do not necessarily succeed", this is the truth that everyone knows, but some people love to talk about it bitterly, and some people love to express it in a relaxed and humorous way, and "Bronze Superstar" is the latter.
The heroine initially trains Maggie for money, but finds out that this is just a lie made up by her father.
And when she saw Maggie standing on the podium, she thought that as a coach, she would also usher in the second spring of her career, but it turned out to be abandoned without warning, and Maggie recognized the heroine's scumbag ex-boyfriend as a coach.
The heroine continued to be a coach after that, but never brought out a championship again.
But so what? The heroine who originally relied on the glory of the past to live a bad life, after experiencing this, finally regained the motivation of active life, which is far more important and more shining than the worldly reputation.
The uniqueness of "Bronze Superstar" is that when other sports films are focusing on portraying the fame and loss on the field, telling the story of one winner after another, it does the opposite, turning the camera to those "frustrated", telling everyone in a witty and humorous way that it does not matter if it fails, the third is okay, and the positive attitude brought by competitive sports is the most important.
These words are also dedicated to those who are frustrated at this Olympic Games.
Part III: The Ice Princess
Released in 2005, starring Michelle Trachtenberg and Joan Cusack, with figure skating as the theme, the typical Disney-style youth inspirational movie, like to watch "Song and Dance Youth", should also like this movie.
The story is a very common foreign "learning bully chasing dreams", the heroine Cathy is a school bully who was sent to Harvard, but her heart has always been eager to shine on the ice and snow stage, in the continuous entanglement, she finally embarked on the road of figure skating and successfully won the game.
The momentum of youth chasing dreams + the graceful posture of figure skaters on the ice rink + the beautiful face of the heroine, this is a movie that does not need to be watched with the brain, but it is not important, what is important is the emotional value and visual enjoyment it provides, which can make the audience easily spend an hour and a half in life.
An Easter egg:
At the end of the movie, a female host appears, do you feel familiar? Yes, she is Guan Yingshan, who has won 9 US Figure Skating Championships, 5 World Figure Skating Championships, and 2 Winter Olympic medals, and is a real ice princess in reality.
Part IV: Wrestling Daddy
When it comes to fulfilling dreams for parents, "Wrestling Daddy" is very typical.
The male protagonist Mahavira was once a wrestler, and his biggest regret was that he could not win the gold medal for the country, so he pinned this hope on the two daughters Geeta and Babita, after several years of hard training, the two daughters lived up to expectations and won consecutively.
If the story is just like this, "Wrestling Bar Daddy" is estimated not to be so famous, nor will it be scored 9.0 on Douban, but will be complained that parents are too interfering with their offspring and too authoritarian.
The highlight of this film is that it pays attention to the status of women in Indian society and the rise of women.
But anyone who has read a few underworld news about Indian women can know how low the status of women is in that society, Mahavira as an elder, even if he is a bit stubborn and authoritarian, but he also has a great progress in thinking, that is, in a society where men are inferior to women, realize that girls can also achieve something.
Part V: "Win the Championship"
The domestic film released last year was starring Gong Li and Huang Bo.
The film takes three iconic competitions in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team as the narrative node, namely the Sino-Japanese battle of the Osaka World Cup in 1981, which won the first championship of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Sino-Us battle of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and the battle between China and Brazil at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
This movie, the shortcomings are obvious, such as too flat and straightforward, a few twists are more blunt, etc., but the advantages are also obvious, it truly shows the ups and downs of the women's volleyball team in the past 40 years, how they train, how to adjust their mentality, how to fight fiercely on the field.
If you want to know about the Chinese women's volleyball team, this movie is still worth watching.
Because of the movie "Win the Championship", Meow has found a lot of early domestic women's sports movies, such as "Women's Basketball No. 5", "Ice Sisters", "Female Diver", etc., the female characters in the film are healthy, confident, and full of social responsibility, but somehow, such roles and films are now less and less.
I hope that these women-based sports movies will make you more aware of sports, better understand the dilemmas and opportunities women face in the sports industry, and most importantly, bring a positive movie-watching experience to your leisure time.
