(Sina comments) < / I > America's best inspirational and sensational work has been "magically" used by Milu in the World Cup qualifiers of the national football team. The film is not about American football or race disputes, but about the respect and understanding of the most basic people after getting rid of the dispute over fame and wealth and skin color. As the black coach said in the play, "I don't care whether you are black or white, rich or poor. On this court, there is only" victory. " American football is just a symbol of any difficulty in the journey, as long as the players can unite and try their best to fight on the field, so can they in real life. The theme of the film is not new, but the layout of the film is full of thought, pushing the film to the climax layer by layer. (qianlong.com) < / I >
