Tireless on and off the field – Coach Carter
Talk about the movie "Coach Carter" today.
Title Coach Carter (2005), alias Iron-Blooded Coach / The Harsh Winter of the Cattle Herding Class.
Coach Carter is an inspirational film based on true events.
The film is based on the true story of Ken Carter. Ken Carter was born in 1959 in Finnwood, Mississippi, USA, and grew up in a large family and community of close ties. As a young man from 1973 to 1977, he played on the Richmond High School basketball team, setting the highest record for points, assists and steals. As mentioned in the film, these records remain unbroken until 20 years later when he became a basketball coach at Richmond Middle School.
Twenty years later, Ken Carter opened a sporting goods store, a barbershop and a hair salon in Richmond. Carter was commercially successful, and he also had a desire to chase his dreams and help their kids grow into talents by training basketball.
In 1997, Carter was hired as the coach of the Richmond Middle School boys' basketball team, and in order to achieve his goals, he asked for full management of the team. During Carter's coaching, there was a suspension incident, Carter took the initiative to close the basketball hall, stop all training and game activities, and instantly caused an uproar in a small town, and even attracted national media attention, and Carter became famous.
Using the analogy of what our generation is most familiar with, Richmond Middle School, coached by Coach Carter, is like Shonbei High School in Slam Dunk Master. Before Carter appeared, Richmond Middle School was like a weak chicken, which could only serve as a background board for other school star players. The players are not technically good tempered, not united internally, there are mistakes to blame each other, and even a big fight.
All this was reversed after the appearance of Carter, who, with his iron-blooded means and love and persistence in basketball, turned these simple-minded and well-developed children into those who had developed their limbs.
The subsequent events at Richmond Middle School were also like those in Xiangbei. A weak chicken that no one is optimistic about has undergone a huge change in a short period of time, and entered the national competition with a dark horse posture, just like Xiangbei who entered the national competition in "Slam Dunk Master".
The grand finale of "Slam Dunk Master" is that Xiangbei encountered the defending champion Mountain King Team for 16 years in the round of 16 of the national competition. After a bitter battle, Shonbei won the victory, but he was also seriously injured, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was injured on the back. In the third round, against Aiwa Academy, all the members of Shonbei threw too much physical strength, and lacked Sakuragi Hanamichi, regrettably stopping in the round of 16. But winning the Mountain King is equivalent to winning the national competition, and the Xiangbei team has no regrets.
The same is true of Richmond Middle School, fighting the national champion to the last moment, and even being able to see the final victory, just a breath of relief. With such results, Richmond High School naturally has no regrets.
Maja Fakman incarnated as Maja Carter is not easy.
Samuel Jackson, although he looks like a teacher here, is still a man at the top of the food chain. The unruly Iron Man and the American spiritual leader Captain America are both subdued, and this group of high school cubs is nothing.
There is a thorny cruz in Richmond Middle School. Cruz is a sports three-point shooter, of Latin descent, who likes to hang out on the streets and thinks he's cool. Cruz, with his own ability, was very disobedient, leaving the team many times and asking for a return many times. When Cruz cried and shouted that he was going to come back to play basketball, the audience seemed to see Mitsui Shou in "Slam Dunk Master".
"Coach, I want to play basketball." If you have to make choices in basketball courts and disorderly streets with rules, people with normal brains will make the right choices.
Coach Carter's greatest success goes beyond ordinary sports inspirational films. Carter needs not only the grades of these children on the basketball court, but also their achievements in terms of being human.
The United States has spared no effort to promote happy education at the bottom, leaving the vast majority of people in a state of exploitation and powerlessness to change, and blocking the upward passage of the vast majority of people through schoolwork. Coach Carter, on the other hand, sees the essence through the phenomenon and sees that learning is more important for these children. He was thinking not only about the win or loss of a game, but more about the future of this group of children.
In the case of class solidification and lack of upward passage, reading and studying is the only opportunity for these poor children to turn around. No one believes they can have their own future, even these children themselves, they have been in a state of life at the bottom, subconsciously taking drugs and fighting and going to jail as the norm of life.
Part of growing up is making your own decisions and living with theconcequences. Part of growing up is making your own decisions and living in an environment like this.
Basketball is not only basketball, but also a person.
A highlight moment in high school cannot represent a lifetime, the future life is a long road, you must not only see the past in front of you. Winning oneself and winning the future is more important than winning a game.
Meeting a mentor who wakes you up is more important than winning a basketball game.
Be a person beforehand, and be a person before morality.
Coach Carter educated these children through basketball and infected their families.
Coach Carter often asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”
At the end of the film, these children finally realize the answer: "Our biggest fear is not because we are not good enough, our greatest fear is beyond our imagination; we are afraid of our own light, not the dark side; the attitude of cringe cannot change the world, and hiding our inner potential does not make the people around you feel more secure." 」 ”
This conversation full of dialectical thinking takes the whole film up a level.
Tireless on and off the field,
Life mentor tree people Lide.
