雙魚男筆記  http://blog.xuite.net/ma.cidad/blog?st=c&p=1&w=1041081 

[click the blue part for further information.] I’ve hypothetically concluded in my previous lectures that the trend of the past  two decades on Hollywood movies includes the modern adaptation of the classics, such as Odysseus “Gravity” and Aeneas “Interstellar,” the predictable Dystopian imagination like “Elysium,” “Divergent,”(The Divergent) “The Giver,” “The Snowpiercer” and “The Hunger Game,” and finally the Family saga best exemplified in “August: the Osage County” and “One True Thing” as usual.  

However, some of “sports film” do win my tears most of the time as well as the favor of the crowds. Take the two athletes in “Chariots of Fire” and the Newcastle football player in “Goal!” series for examples, the first film won numerous prizes in 1981 while the latter one won the successive acclamation from the audiences and reviewers. The winning elements involve life and death, dream and adventures, love and lost, with no surprises. The only difference between “Kano” and the above-mentioned sports film is “political correctness.” I’ve got smoke in my eyes all the full four hours watching “Kano” as I lay on my sickbed of a bad cold this morning. I feel sorry for the film: although it won the filmgoers’ applauses, it has not won any award in 2014 Taipei Golden Horse Festival. Some of the critics said that the narrative perspectives of the film do not patronize on the current KMT administration but on the past Japanese colonization instead. All the winning elements plus persistence, sweat, and blood in the movie do move me a lot. "Kano" had my vote.
