Ashes to Glory We Are Marshall / 后继有人的评论
Finally got to see We are Marshall here in Huntington, WV, the very town this movie has as its setting. I like it a lot, but It is very difficult to see it as being just a movie, because the movies is so much about the town, the university, and even somebody you may know or meet here. You cannot maintain the distance that could be afforded to other movies when appreciating them. Yet this feeling is special.
The movie is emotionally charged most of the time, as it should be, given the fact that so many people died and a team rose from ashes. It oscillates between being poignant and funny. The pain part was very well captured by Mathew Fox, who plays Red Dawson, the assistant coach, who was tormented by the fact that he happened to have missed the disaster while the rest of his team died.
The other Mathew who played the head coach seemed to lack some emotional depth in the role he played. That might be natural, because the role he portrayed had had nothing to do with Marshall before accepting the role as head coach. Yet at other times, it is just Mathew the "star" coming out. That effect could be diminished if the coach is played by a less well-known guy. Or have I been way too saturated with all the coverage about Mathew the superstar that it is now impossible to scratch the actor to see the acted?
Even as someone who speaks English as a foreign language, I can tell that his language is somewhat banal as some critics have pointed out. It is too “movie-like”, so to speak. However, there are also bursts of freshness. For instance, when he gets President Dedmon to visit NCAA in person by asking Dedmon how he proposed to his wife.
But to be fair, Mattew did a good job showing the development of his character. Jack the head coack is actually the one transformed by the whole experience. When he makes that speech in the cemetery, one sees the transformation reach a climax.
My favorite is the character of Don Dedmon. He is portrayed into a rounded, developed, and rich character. In him you see the mixture of the somewhat clumsy academic, a really hard-working leader, and a converted Herd fan. The rise of the football team seemed to have had the greatest impact on him.
At the end of the movie, it is mentioned that the Young Thundering Herd lost more games in the 70s than any other football program in the nation. However, the glory comes in the 90s, when the team won championships and produced national football stars. That line has the potential of becoming something really great. But it was dismissed too quickly. There is really a good point in there: It takes time to actually make a program work. More importantly, it takes incubation, nurturing, and even patience in years and years of tireless work. Yet these are not materials for Hollywood. There is less drama in them. Instead, the movie turns to a spike of glory in those years that were not actually chracterized by winning games. The real thundering glory, I believe, is the laying of foundations in these early years in spite of pressures and losses. Hemmingway says courage is grace under pressure. So is glory.
We Are Marshall 后继有人的评论
本片讲述了一个发生在西弗吉尼亚亨廷顿小镇上的真实的故事。小镇的橄榄球传统历史悠久，几十年来，运动员、教练员、球迷们和他们的家人们一起为马歇尔大学的球队加油助威。在当地，橄榄球已经不仅仅是一项运动，而为马歇尔大学橄榄球队加油已经成了人们的一种生活方式。但是1970年发生的那场事故改变了这一切。11月14日夜晚，马歇尔大学橄榄球队的教练和队员们从北卡罗来那比赛后乘机返回亨廷顿，结果飞机失事，75人全部罹难。这一重大损失给所有人带来的心灵上的打击都是无法弥补的。
正当所有人都沉浸在悲伤之中而一蹶不振的时候，马歇尔大学Thundering Herd橄榄球队的年轻教练Jack Lengyel(Matthew·McConaughey饰)却决定重新建立球队。虽然起初不被人看好，甚至面临被解散的危机以及四处寻找球员的波折，但是在球队幸存者Red Dawson(Matthew Fox饰)的帮助下，一切似乎也并非不可能。渐渐地，小镇居民的态度开始有所转变，而球队也在教练员和队员们的共同努力下取得了首场胜利。
这部影片的中文名有好多个：《同球敌忾》《加油，马歇尔》《后继有人》《我们一条心》《希望不灭》，而《同球敌忾》则更多的被宣传所用。但是看完片子后，我更愿意把它叫作《We are Marshall》，这即是马歇尔大学橄榄球队的口号，也代表了马歇尔人的一种信念。
一道闪电就将马歇尔人从天堂打入了地狱。飞机的失事使他们失去了包括球迷和队员家属在内的75个人。他们引以为荣的球队瞬间就化作灰烬，这样的打击，无论对谁都是无法承受的。特别有的家庭还在这次空难中同时失去了2名亲人妻子和儿子！泪水已无法再承载悲痛，留给人们的将是无尽的黑暗。幸存的4名球员也沉浸在伤痛中无法自拔，直到新教练杰克·兰格的到来。他先是招来另外几名教练然后便开始到处招募球员。他们一开始四处碰壁，直到全国大学生体育协会同意他们在新的赛季允许新生上场，凭着这一优越条件，他们的招生工作才得以顺利展开。紧接着的训练，他们克服种种困难，终于使球队走上了正轨。但是第一场比赛的失利，使得他们遭受到了来自各方面的质疑，甚至连马歇尔大学的校长也被牵连。杰克·兰格顶住了来自各方面的压力，全力备战第一个主场。赛前，他把队员带到死去队员的墓地前，告诉他们只用赢取胜利才能给死去的同伴们带来荣誉。队员们在墓前高呼“We are Marshall！”小镇居民也给予了球队最大的支持，都来观看他们的第一个主场。年轻的队员们不负重望，获得了胜利。这个胜利对于队员们，对于马歇尔人来说，都是沉甸甸的、意义非凡的，这代表了他们的新生和思想上的重生。
看到结尾处，我哭了，因为那份激动，那份感动。我想我能明白这个胜利对马歇尔人来说究竟意味着什么，所以我替他们高兴，替他们欣慰，于是我哭了。泪水里包含了太多的感动和太多太多的意味深长，就让泪水代替我一切的情感尽情奔涌而下吧！
向在此次空难中遇难的75名球员、教练、球迷以及家属致敬！男人&加油站，励志格言$励志名言^励志电影！
