It is said to be a film based on a true story, based on a documentary article from 1996. It's a moving film, but it's very soft, full of emotions fill the heart, but I didn't leave a single tear.
On the contrary, I was glad that the boy, yes, was lucky to meet Coach Harold Jones, without whom the boy might still be living a muddy life, wandering the streets, sitting quietly by the stadium, suffering from sarcastic eyes and mischief.
Stills from "True Love Waves"
The male protagonist, James Robert Kennedy, is a young man with intellectual disabilities, he is very optimistic and kind, life is so unfair to him, he still loves life. He never gets angry with those who make a bad deal out of him.
The sentence I love you is the best expression of kindness. His nickname, "Radio," was because he often carried a radio with him, and it was the only thing he carried.
The stadium is a place he often goes, although he is bullied there a lot of times, but he still goes to the side of the stadium, sits quietly, and watches quietly. One day, the boy was again teased by the school's football team members and tied to a fitness machine.
Rugby coach Harold Jones has seen this happen more than once, and this time, he decided to help the boys. He walked over to the boy, looked into the boy's twinkling eyes, loosened the rope for the boy, and said to the players behind him James Robert Kennedy, he will be a member of our football team, from now on!
The boy can't play rugby and never dared to play rugby, but now he has inexplicably become a rugby player, which is happy or worried for him.
At first, the players did not understand why the coach wanted a mentally disabled person as a team member, and in the movie, there was no description of the coach's motivation, whether it was the kindness of the boy or the charity of his own whim.
But then the feelings between the two of them, which are also teachers and fathers, let me know that the coach is not three minutes hot for the boy, he really wants to help the boy and get out of the inner haze. Life has been unfair to him, and we should treat him well.
Give encouragement when he is lost, and when he encounters difficulties in life, the coach is like a father, taking the child out of the difficulty. The boys became more and more lively, and they had a great time with their teammates, and everyone was infected by the optimism characteristic of boys, and in the team games, they won many battles.
Not only the teammates, but also the residents of the town were infected by the boy, reacquainted with the mentally handicapped youth, and learned from his optimism. The racial barrier between the inhabitants also disappeared because of the boys, and everyone was united.
The story of the coach and the boy has been passed down for decades and still touches us. The kindness of the coach and the optimism of the boys are precious spirits that are very worthy of our learning and understanding. In this money-based society, the simple and deep friendship between the two is like a clear stream in a mudslide.
Maybe you can't change the environment, just be yourself! Boys' optimism should be established as a beacon for modern young people, not arrogant, positive and hardworking. Never complain about others, live every part of your life!
