One Goal to Fame is an inspirational sports film directed by Danny Cannon and written by Mike Jeffries, Dick Claremont, Ian La Freines, and starring Kuno Baker, Stephen Dylan, and Anna Fryer, and first released in China on March 24, 2006. I have watched this movie more than 8 times in recent years, and after this morning's break, I revisited this classic film again, and I would like to share with you my true feelings about this film.
<h1>sequence</h1>
At the beginning of the movie, a corner of the Mexican slums, the childhood protagonist Sandiago, with skillful ball skills and childhood friends together in the happy and free playing, you can see that the protagonist's face is full of happiness and no worries smile, innocent and so bright.
Young Sandiago showed off his football talent carefreely
Sentiment:
The picture of the protagonist happily playing football with his friends at the beginning of this paragraph can be described as the director's finishing touch to the whole play, and also allows the whole play to be smoothly unfolded; happy childhood, a childlike heart and a hobby that can be touched at any time - football.
On the way to the smuggling, he is still determined to retrieve the dropped football
Dirty football is Sandia's best "playmate"
Late at night, accompanied by his father's urgent knocking on the door, he woke up Sandiago, who had been tired from playing football. When the father hurriedly let Santiago quickly pack his bags, and the protagonist only took his beloved football, when he was about to climb over the wall leading to the United States, the football fell; at this time, the crowd of smuggled people was found by the American border police, but in the face of the approaching American border police, when his father eagerly urged him to give up the football, but the unswerving Sandiago, unswervingly chose to retrieve his beloved football, and this action also completely changed the fate of his life.
The director also put a lot of effort into the description of this paragraph, on the dangerous smuggling road, the protagonist accidentally dropped his beloved football on the ground, replaced by me, will not risk picking it up; but the protagonist's resolute eyes and spirit of not giving up are destined to be wonderful in his future life.
<h1>Life dreams</h1>
Everyone in the world will have their own different dreams in life, and each of them is struggling for their dreams, and the protagonist's dream is only the word football.
Every day I have to go and fix the lawn with my father
The protagonist's father for different life goals and yearning for life, the family smuggled to the legendary paradise of the United States, the protagonist followed his father every day to endure the boring work of repairing the lawn, boring and tedious; want to play football can only be in the work with the father outside the work, and then rushed to the local Chinese restaurant to do odd jobs again. There is a detail in this paragraph that I don't know if the officials have paid attention to? Sundiego, who received a daily salary, carefully put the money into a shoe. And this small gesture also shocked me. This is the treasury of Sandiago's dream of football. Some people are born with good family conditions, but there are also people who can't get the life they want no matter how hard they work, and the protagonist at this time is such a situation.
The father is selfless, everything is for the family, and there is nothing wrong with all this.
The director of this paragraph is also quite wonderful, when Sandiago finished trimming the lawn and was ready to finish work, at this time, 2 blonde beauties drove by in a sports car, drooling at Sandiago and praising: Really handsome, very strong; and Sandiago also looked at the beautiful woman who was far away with envious eyes. This arrangement of the director, in my opinion, seems to be deliberately reminding the protagonist not to forget his dreams and persistence.
<h1>First acquaintance with agent Galen</h1>
There is a saying in China that Maxima is often there, but Bole is not common. And Galen is The Bole that Sandiago realizes his dreams.
Although the story is old-fashioned, there is no shortage of points to watch. After another work break, Galen took her daughter to see her seven-year-old grandson play football, and the story is such a coincidence. The protagonist, Santiago, is playing in the next court, and in the burst of applause, Galen turned his head with the cheers, and it was this inadvertent turn that completely changed the lives of the two, and also made the fate of the two tied together.
Galen first met Sandiago
Galen's appearance, at the beginning, I thought this person was just a complete business oligarch, a vampire agent. But as the film progressed, I realized that I was completely wrong. This passage we put at the end of the article to explain.
<h1>Galen's dream</h1>
Since seeing Santiago play, Galen seems to have seen himself when he was young, and he once played on the court!
Here I have to focus on Galen. As I said at the beginning, I have watched this movie 8 times intermittently, and the first time I watched it can only be regarded as a sweeping sweep, but I am especially looking forward to watching the wonderful play of the protagonist on the court; and as I get older, I see things differently, and the last few times I watch, I understand Galen in particular.
Galen paid too much for this commitment.
So why was Galen so obsessed with helping Sandiago?
In my opinion, in addition to a mutual commitment, galen saw his own shadow in Sandiago, the one who was on the pitch, the galen before he was seriously injured. Galen's look at Sandiago can be seen, and the details here push the whole plot to a climax.
For the sake of Sandiago and his dreams, he dialed the Newcastle manager at 3 a.m.
The look in Galen's eyes at Sandiago is a look of remembrance and yearning, with no economic transactions in mind. Galen's introduction after the fact perfectly explained my opinion, Galen was a professional player for Newcastle before, and was a main player, who should have had a good professional life, but after encountering a major injury, he had to say goodbye to his ideals and dreams. At this time, seeing Sandiago once again evoked Galen's personal memories, and he also decided to pin his dream on Sandiago's body.
<h1>I almost ruined my dreams by my father</h1>
I have always felt that Sandiago's father, like most of our fathers, has gone through the baptism of years, pursued a more stable life, and shouldered the burden that ordinary people cannot understand for the sake of the family, and it is even more the kind of incomprehension that is out of reach of youth!
The father is always seeking stability, and feels that his son's dream is too distant and too unattainable!
In order for the family to have a better life, in order for Sundiego to have a better life and work in the future, he resolutely pressed all his wealth, bought a second-hand truck and became his own boss, of course, including all that Sundiego had accumulated for his dreams; and the father's move also completely made the father and son suppress each other for a long time. When his father bitterly talked about how he had given everything for the whole family, Sundiego rarely confronted his father. Blurt out: This is the life you want, not the life I want. From the surprised eyes of his father, it is not difficult to see that he has neglected to care for his son for the sake of his family and a better life over the years. At this time, the father has some regrets, but the father with a strong personality must continue to be tough, and there is really nothing else!
This paragraph is also full of mysteries, the father is not wrong, for the sake of the overall consideration, it will be more comprehensive and calm. The father only thinks about how to fulfill the responsibilities of the father, and ignores the true thoughts and dreams of the son. It wasn't until Sandiago and his father first talked back that the father found out that his son had really grown up and had his own ideas. The father's surprised eyes at this time must be full of regret, but as a father, he could not take the initiative to admit it. And Sandiago himself is not wrong, for his dreams and ideals. Wrong itself can only be a trick of fate.
<h1>Grandma's appearance was timely to resolve the crisis</h1>
In the crisis with her father, Grandma took out money in time to give Sundiego strong support, which was also a key factor in Sundiego's eventual success.
The grandmother of the next generation helps the grandson to chase his dreams.
When I watched this video before, I always ignored where my grandmother's money came from. Grandma's explanation in the film is that she sold some old things; but I now have a different view and understanding, because the money is most likely sponsored by my father, but the conceited father is reluctant to let grandma tell the truth, because even if the father does wrong, he can't bow his head and admit his mistake, because this is the style of a father!
Grandma's selfless love has made Sandiago's future.
It seems that this is not only happening to Chinese, it is still very good abroad; grandma not only knows the eldest grandson in front of her, but also knows her own son better, knows the hardships and loneliness of her son after his early widowhood, and supports the family alone abroad. And the son's temper will not escape the eyes of the mother, Sandiago can successfully come to England and eventually play in the professional team, the contribution made by the grandmother can not be ignored. And this money was his stubborn son who was painstakingly told and handed over to Sandiago as an intermediary.
<h1>Galen's countless runs were finally rewarded, and Sundiego occasionally got love in frustration. </h1>
Sandiago, who came to England, was penniless, and Bole Galen's unremitting running eventually ushered in a life opportunity for Sandiago.
A person can have no innate talent, but there must be unremitting efforts! But it is not enough to be willing to work hard, but also to have unswerving faith and persistence in life, and the love of personal hobbies themselves! Only with these can we go farther and farther on the road of pursuing our dreams.
Galen completely regarded Sandiago as his spiritual food
In this part of the film, for Bole Galen and Sandiago is a closely related paragraph, the two will not give up the essence of not reaching the goal, the interpretation is wonderful. A bitter and tireless pitch to Newcastle manager Sandiago. On the other hand, Sandiago's spirit of not giving up and not backing down after encountering their respective setbacks has been well reflected. And finally opened the door to victory for both of them.
This film truly shows Galen's determination and will not to give up until he reaches his goal, and repeated defeats and repeated defeats are the best descriptions of him. This will deserves to be learned and respected by each of us, for an unreliable "bet" it completely tears off the face of the individual, and finally the will to persevere moves everyone in the club and completes its final step as an agent!
There is another important link in this film that must be mentioned, which is the love between the frustrated Santiago and the nurse Rose.
Sandiago's spiritual comfort - girlfriend Rose
Frustrated, Sundiego was cut by the team and came to Rose's doorstep to say goodbye to him, where Sanddiego harvested love at the same time, and thus accidentally met the first-team main scorer Harris, and because of this encounter, completely changed Sandiago's entire career.
Rose's comfort is important
This film tells us that everyone in the world should not turn themselves into an island, but need the support of a strong friendship, as well as the guidance of the elders at key moments and the nourishment of love!
<h1>The proud and conceited father experienced Newcastle</h1>
This is one of the most touching episodes in my personal opinion, when the father saw his son's performance on the field, his face was filled with a real and loving smile, and the happiness in his eyes deeply shocked me.
The father came to Newcastle alone to watch his son play
In the match against Fulham, Sandiago came off the bench, and then the camera switched, and the father appeared in the street bar in Newcastle, and the thin father stood carefully next to him, not even willing to buy a beer. When Newcastle in the bar questioned the coach's substitution, the father proudly said: This is my son, this is my son Sandiago. Seeing his son's efforts become a reality, the father's eyes revealed a long-lost smile of happiness.
As a sports inspirational film, the screenwriter inserts tear-jerking emotional clips from time to time, making the whole drama more ornamental and full of vitality. He also explained that his father was not only stubborn and stubborn, but also a rather intimate warm male father.
<h1>A brief confusion after a small achievement</h1>
To be honest, I was quite breathless after watching this paragraph, after a good performance of a game, Sandiago could not resist the temptation of Harris, followed the bar prince Harris for a long time in the nightclub indulged in alcohol; especially the chaotic scene with the bar girl was photographed by the same person, and the excitement and a little shyness shown in the photo were even more infuriating. At this time, Sandiago completely forgot his dreams and future. Fortunately, Harris took the initiative to find the head coach to bravely admit his mistakes and take all the blame for all this on himself, which resolved the crisis of Sandiago.
The bar met Real Madrid icon David Beckham
When he learned that he was going to play in the final round of the league away match against Liverpool, Sundiego, who was so happy that he was so happy, drove to Galen's garage and gave Galen and his staff tickets for the game, but when he was about to leave, he turned around and drew a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to Galen, and said: This is for you, I borrowed your breakfast money. Then he drove away, leaving Galen holding up the money and looking at the departing Sandy Brother with surprised eyes, his lips moving slightly, but in the end he did not say anything.
With Raul and Zidane
With the exposure of the nightclub incident, being reprimanded and banned by the head coach, being snubbed by his girlfriend, and the broken leg of his teammates completely disrupted Sandiago's thinking.
When I saw this paragraph, in fact, I was more angry and confused, and I was unfair for Galen; I felt unworthy for Galen; Galen's efforts in Sandiago should not have received such a reward! At this time, Sundiego seems to have a new understanding of where the future is going, and he clearly knows how to give up his future.
<h1>The sudden death of his father completely awakened Sandiago</h1>
I confess that when I saw this, I shed tears, and the excessive exertion and excessive burden pressure caused my father's excessive physical wear and tear. Finally, after finishing the last business, the younger son went to find his father and saw that his father had already collapsed on the construction site that was once incomparably familiar. The heart-rending call of the younger son can no longer awaken his already tired father.
Before embarking on the journey to Liverpool, Sundiego got the news of his father's death, and the video of me crying with the phone made me cry and couldn't bear it anymore. When Sandiago cried bitterly, his mind recalled every bit of his father, from the smuggling to the United States to the mouth of all the scenes. At this time, Sandiago thoroughly understood his father, and even more understood his father's greatness!
Sandiago, who scored the duel ball, comforted his father's spirit in heaven.
Eventually, with the great grief of his father's death and the expectations of his father's heaven for him, Grandma and her brother were picked up by Galen to watch Sandiago's game in England. Sandiago came off the bench in this game, facing Liverpool, contributing a magical play of 1 pass and 1 shot, killing Liverpool 3:2 and winning the game for Newcastle. And after scoring the killer goal, Sandiago knelt on the court with two fingers in the sky to comfort his father's spirit in heaven!
Assist Harris scored the second goal
At the end of the film, in addition to the successful transformation of the protagonist Sandy Diego. Here I have to mention the high emotional intelligence of agent Galen, in order to continue to let Sundiego continue his dream for himself in the future, he specially brought sundiego's last two relatives from the United States - grandma and brother. And came to the stadium after the game to be the first to congratulate Sandiago.
Galen's daughter received Sandiago's last relatives; grandma and brother.
<h1>epilogue</h1>
At the end of the game, the film ends with the footage of Bole Galen and Sandiago hugging each other tightly. And this picture also draws a perfect end to this film, for Galen and Sandiago, the connection between the two is far from over, the two cross the border barrier, cross the national differences, the two finally overcome many difficulties to come together, comparable to a big love story!
