挑战星期天

I am not an American football fan. It is too tough, too cruel. However, football is one of the cultures. Once the Packers won the Super Bowl, its player was on Grammy. This made me want to know more about this game.

It is a sport film all around football. It is a fascinating game as you can see how easily people get excited and how expensive Super Bowl commercials become. It is also a dangerous game. People get hurt, get wounded or even die. It is a game requires strong body, basic instinct and strategy as well. I guess it is not an easy game to learn or make a living with.

Al did not show up a lot until the final game. His speech before the game is amazingly inspiration. You will go through the growth of Beaman. Facing the sudden success and being on the bench again, what will you do?

It is a great film. You learn what teamwork is. They will look into your eyes and they gonna believe you. They will do whatever they can to help you because they know if you are in their place, you will do the same. That is a team and that will be the most important part when you look back your life and remember the most.

On any given Sunday you’re gonna win or lose; but you have to win or lose like a man…

Al Pacino’s Inch By Inch speech from Any Given Sunday

I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today. Now either we heal as a team or we’re gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, ’til we’re finished.

We’re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. And, we can stay here — get the shit kicked out of us — or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time.

Now, I can’t do it for you. I’m too old. I look around. I see these young faces, and I think — I mean — I made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me. And lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know, when you get old in life things get taken from you. I mean that’s…part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small — I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the fuckin’ difference between winning and losing! Between livin’ and dyin’!

I’ll tell you this: In any fight, it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. And I know if I’m gonna have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willin’ to fight and die for that inch. Because that’s what livin’ is! The six inches in front of your face!!

Now I can’t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You’re gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him!

That’s a team, gentleman!

And, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.

That’s football guys.

That’s all it is.

Now, what are you gonna do?

年逾不惑的托尼是曾经赢得"万神"杯职业橄榄球赛冠军的达拉斯鲨鱼队的总教练。三十多年的执教生涯让这个坚韧的男人积累了丰富的经验，也取得了骄人的业绩。然而，在最近一个通往冠军杯的赛际中，鲨鱼队已经连输了四场，虽然在与芝加哥的比赛中，场上队长鲁尼负伤离场后，托尼换上了一直处于替补位置上的威利，而威利也以其天才的球技扳回了几分，但最终还是扭转不了败局。
虽然没有扭转败局，但威利的天才球技引起了鲨鱼老板克里斯蒂娜小姐的注意。在接下来的几场比赛中，鲨鱼队凭借威利的进攻取得了节节胜利。随着比赛战绩的扩大，出名后的威利开始成了摄像机和镁光灯追逐的焦点。为此，趾高气扬的威利赶走了与他有过五年恋情的女友特丽莎。不仅如此，威利开始变得连托尼的话也难以听进。威利的表现让其他的队友非常生气，整个队伍逐渐处于分崩离析的危险边缘。
与此同时，克里斯蒂娜经营的球员俱乐部正负债累累而面临倒闭。面对人心惶惶的球队，托尼和克里斯蒂娜不得不寻求一种新的途径使俱乐部走出危机。但各自在经营理念上的差异让两人之间产生严重分歧。托尼面临人生和事业的重新抉择，而老队员们则纷纷提出转会，唯有队长鲁尼还坚定地站在俱乐部这一边。在全体的人员意识到只有树立团队精神才是帮助俱乐部度过难关最有效的办法后，托尼率领球队在其职业生涯中最重要的一场比赛中，凭借队员的忠诚和敬业，在威利替代鲁尼成为场上领袖后，异常艰难地战胜了对手，走向了再次夺取冠军的最后一段征程。

只有真正在一個團隊里打過球的朋友才能體會這部電影所給出的意義和張力!

最近在练习口语，这篇经典演说当然要被我收入囊中，我在浏览器上搜索到的关于这篇演讲的全英字幕，暂未找到完全符合原电影的分享，且大多数分享语法错误层出不穷。如果按照错误的文本对照学习，真的是折了夫人又赔兵。索性我就对照着原版电影，一个单词一个单词的码出来，便于自己学习的同时，也分享给大家，需要自取

（若有同仁发现错误可直接指出并告知，感激不尽）

Now what you gonna do?

不记得这是看的第几部关于橄榄球的电影了，但是我还是发现基本上看过的橄榄球题材的影片都非常不错，挺好看，而且大部分都是励志的。最近看的是华盛顿主演的冲锋陷阵（本来想用鸟文的，可惜忘记鸟文怎么写这个片名了^_^），那部通过橄榄球讲述的是校园内的种族冲突问题，它是根据真人真事改编的.而这一部影片，同样是橄榄球，同样的真实（除了虚拟出来的联赛和球队 http://www.douban.com/review/1103063/）还有讲的却是做人，不过它和冲锋陷阵同样精彩，都是推荐
老戏骨Al Pacino 就不用说了，演技一流啊，最后一战的演讲也是tmd纯男人

其实我自己并不是很懂橄榄球，甚至连它的规则都不完全知道，只知道一些小的基本知识，这还是那段时间想玩ea的nfl2008才恶补的，但最终NFL08依然没有玩成，对我这种菜鸟来说操作太麻烦啊，而且规则都不怎么知道。嗨，这种激烈的运动最终还是不适合我啊，连它的游戏也是。。。

想百度一下橄榄球，超级碗，基本没有什么有用的信息，橄榄球在中国的地位显而易见了，而篮球则不一样了，看样子要是有位国人像姚明一样进入NFL,那样橄榄球这种比篮球激烈n倍的运动才可能在中国风行吧
