The Birth of a Legend is a biopic directed by Jeff Zembarlist and Michael Zembarlist, starring Kevin de Paula and featuring Bailey, which was released on September 7, 2018 in Chinese mainland.
The film tells the story of the ball king Pele from the slum shoe shine boy, relying on his own efforts to overcome many obstacles, reverse the desperate situation and become the strongest in the football world.
The story begins, at the World Cup in Sweden, when seventeen-year-old Pele played for the first time and played as a starter.
Eight years ago, however, the young soccer player was a shoe shinemaker and didn't even have a complete soccer ball, only a "soccer ball" made up of a variety of clothing. But that didn't stop them from loving football, the way they ran wildly made me feel that the environment didn't matter, what mattered was a heart that loved persistence.
Our protagonist Bailey injured his leg because his father played soccer, and his mother strictly forbade children to play soccer.
In their first game, the first time they played inflatable football was not suitable, but it did not hinder them from going all the way to the siege, but because barefoot did not have football shoes and were ridiculed by the other side, they went to the train station to steal a few bags of peanuts, sold on the street, but only enough to buy a few pairs of old football shoes that did not fit, although in the end they lost the game, but their final overtaking made the audience think that they were the winners. It also made a bright planet explorer feel that Pele was a player with great potential.
After the game, they are found by their owner who stole peanuts, and in order to avoid him and his friend Thiago, he is hiding in the mud cave, and the heavy rain causes the cave entrance to collapse, and Thiago is buried in the soil, before which he is still persuading Bailey to go farther and higher. Pele was deeply embroiled in self-blame, which also made him give up football for a while.
But he has a pair of intelligent parents, let him forget the pain in the labor, step by step to guide Bailey to learn, Bailey also improved in growing up, when Bailey was 15 years old, his mother contacted the scout, the scout was very satisfied with Bailey's skills, agreed to take him to learn.
Pele was away from home for the first time, learning at the system's football training ground, and in one game after another, the failure to shoot also made Pele lose confidence, because Pele's traditional renjia style of play that pele had practiced since childhood failed in the 1950 World Cup, and all Brazilians began to boycott renjia style of play, and the football coach was even more severe. The method of practicing since childhood was already engraved in Bailey's blood, and he could not easily change it, and his heart withdrew. Scouts who dug him spotted his retreat and encouraged him to use renga kicks to create his own miracles.
Before the World Cup, Brazil has always been disliked by everyone, the coach's support, the pressure of journalists, the distrust of teammates, and finally Pele broke into the final with a three-goal kill.
In the final, all the Brazilian players won the game with their faith. From being belittled to being noticed by thousands of people, his counterattack alone has ignited the fighting spirit of billions of people.
Defended three-time world champion
This is a shocking game, my commentary is far less careful than the original film, "The Birth of a Legend" is worth searching and watching.
