None of the recently popular topics will resonate more with everyone than "Slam Dunk".
As soon as the circle of friends flipped casually, there were countless male colleagues who had become fathers, rushing to the cinema after overtime, crying on the spot while shouting "youth is back".
For the post-80s and post-90s, "Slam Dunk" is not only an anime, but also their own figure in countless playgrounds after school, practicing fixed-point shooting and grabbing rebounds, which is the blood and romance, struggle and hope of young people.

27 years ago, the phrase "see you in the national competition" left regrets in the hearts of countless people. Nowadays, everyone has walked into the cinema to make up tickets for childhood memories.
On the weekend, I also took my child to watch this movie, watching him dance and pose for a basketball, and I suddenly found that the original dreams and enthusiasm have never disappeared, but have been passed down from generation to generation.
01
The hidden scars in the heart of the "problem teenager"
In the animated version of "Slam Dunk", Miyagi Ryota appeared as a bad boy who fought with people everywhere. But exactly why he fought and how he fell in love with basketball has always been an unsolved mystery.
The movie version makes up for this lesson for the audience: it turns out that Ryota's father died early, and it was his brother who raised him and taught him to play basketball.

My brother was the captain of the school's basketball team and had great talent, but he died unexpectedly while fishing at sea.
Later, her mother left her hometown and lived a difficult life with her sister alone, probably because her mother herself could not overcome the pain of losing her loved ones, so she rarely talked to Ryota about her family.
There is no one to talk to, and coupled with the difficulties of life, they together create Ryota's withdrawn character.
While playing basketball, Ryota was ridiculed by his opponent as "not as talented as his brother", which also complicated his feelings for his brother.
Psychology believes that unresolved conflicts in the subconscious of childhood are the root cause of psychological problems in the child's growth process. If you want to cure your child's psychological problems, you need to find and resolve childhood conflicts.
After an injury, Ryota goes to his brother's secret base in a cave by the sea, and accidentally discovers that his brother's dream is to defeat Sanno Industries, known as the strongest high school student team, in a national competition.

Ryota's fighting spirit is ignited, and he decides to inherit his brother's wish and find his worth on the court.
Therefore, he chose his brother's number "7" as his team uniform, wore a red wristband as a relic of his brother, trained hard, improved his skills, and stood on the field of confrontation with Sanno Industry with his strength.
In real life, those "problem teenagers" who seem to bluff may just be forced to use defensive postures to protect themselves because of unadjusted injuries.
Therefore, parents should avoid adopting a confrontational posture to discipline their children, but give their children sufficient patience to accompany them out of difficulties and find the meaning of their own lives.

If there really is a miracle in the stadium, it is called "solidarity"
As the protagonist of the movie version of "Slam Dunk", Miyagi Ryota's progress and transformation are the most eye-catching.
However, the victory of Xiangbei does not belong to one person, but to everyone in this team. From core players and substitutes to coaches and agents, everyone has made their contribution.
The most impressive is the scene where Sakuragi Hanamichi high-fives with Kaede Rukawa after throwing a whistle and reversing the score, which was called "the high-five of the century" by netizens.

Why is this scene particularly moving? Because in the past, Kaede Rukawa was a talented player with high self-esteem, always liked to fight alone, and never gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a ball.
With only two seconds left in the game, Kaede Rukawa was caught between two opponents, couldn't find a suitable position to shoot, and passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi without hesitation.
Hanamichi also lived up to the trust of his teammates, withstood the pressure at the last second before the end of the game, and steadily threw the pressure whistle, creating a miracle in Xiangbei.

As a parent, I have always encouraged my child to participate in sports, taught him table tennis from an early age, and often spent weekends swimming, climbing and skiing with him.
Recently, several young people from the unit organized to play frisbee together, and I also brought my children to join in to experience the charm of teamwork and completing competition tasks together.
In fact, the significance of sports is not only to strengthen the body, but also to cultivate team spirit.
In modern society, no one can rely on their own strength to succeed, only in the team, children can develop their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, overcome their weaknesses, and play their best value.

Ordinary people also have their own heroism
Whether it is a manga or a TV anime, talented players such as Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa will always be worthy protagonists.
However, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" avoids these popular characters, and instead chooses to tell the whole story from the perspective of point guard Ryota Miyagi.

Author Yuhiko Inoue explained that compared to other talented teammates, Miyagi Ryota shows the image of an ordinary high school student, and through him, he can better show a real and down-to-earth basketball world.
It is precisely because of Miyagi Ryota that "Slam Dunk" has changed from an unattainable bloody legend to our own inspirational story.
Some people say that when we were children, we all wanted to be Sakuragi Hanamichi, but 27 years later, we found that Miyagi Ryota is who we really are.
Maybe not talented, but hard enough; Maybe not dashing enough, but dare to face it.
When we enter middle age, we no longer long for being some genius teenager who has been left behind, nor do we expect our children to be talented and blockbuster.
As ordinary people, striving to do the best within our own capabilities is our own heroism.

When I returned home, I played the familiar song "Accompany You Until the End of the World": "Shining youth, clasping warm hands, those tears who missed the scenery, in order to cherish all of today." ”
Taking children to watch "Slam Dunk" together is not to let children forcibly move our youth, but to tell children that even in a world of fierce competition and flooded information, there is still a dream that is worth fighting for.
Youth has nothing to do with age, and everyone who is touched by "Slam Dunk" is forever young and always in tears.
