Michael Thomas Edwards was born 5. December, 1963 in Cheltenham. Eddie with the childhood dream to defend the colours of his native country in the Olympics. Despite the problems with the vision, he did attempts to get to the games. The first step was the participation in qualification in UK team the downhill. To his deep regret, there it is not included. However, Michael Thomas Edwards just not going to give up has been...
Something you ever read in biographies of great athletes who, despite the difficulties on the way, reached my goal and has gained world-wide fame. But the story of the Edwards is very different. It is not a prize-winner of Olympic games, not a great athlete Yes, and all absolutely ordinary people. The story of Eddie Edwards — this is the way many of the Olympians from the inside out. Not once team the downhill, he decided to start jumping jump prepare the winter Olympics for the year (it is worth noting that he became the first British athlete in this sport who took part in the Olympics). Eddie Edwards, though set the national record of Britain in a jumping the springboard, but ranked last due to the critical little result. Thomas Edwards — loser, constantly occupying the last place. Obviously, this unusual in any sense of the story was to attract the interest of filmmakers.
However, the "Eddie eagle" and not trying to adhere to historical accuracy. Highlights from the life of the British athlete sometimes exaggerated, and sometimes is changed to recognition. But the General concept "man was to and reached it" all well preserved. The words "based on real events" important to the viewer's perception, because sometimes the movie seems like a fairy tale. Although it is — ","Eddie "the eagle"" is not other than new one you believe big hunting. The characters do not taken from air, they exist our world. The permanent loser, rushing for your goal here is not perceived as a scenario a cliche, because we see in the character is above all a real person, and in some moments you can see and yourself this way. Skier, and now drinking forever trainer Eddie — not a walking stereotype of the old athlete. This hero you survive rejoice. The movie lives and conveys emotions to the viewer.
The main source of all emotions — Eddie Edwards. Its purpose will touch even the most sophisticated audience. The way prescribed is, even in too naive style. But to give thanks it is necessary to Taranu Edgerton: in spite of external dissimilarity, the young British actor has made every effort so that people can see on the screen only silly Edwards. Of the characteristic features of the game include forward jaw (in life but the bite is normal), and also the manner of conversation and conduct, adopted at this Thomas Edwards. Character-the antithesis of Eddie is the coach. It is an irresponsible athlete, which was talent it "wasted", and Edwards incompetent, all the forces trying to "own the moment". Trainer — is what is getting people who have missed out on his dream of the hand — Eddie who gets the dream through the bruises, broken bones and other injuries. The benefit of Jackman as possible with a vengeance. However, the chemistry on screen is felt, because of what the duet does not seem to be a couple of "freaks" who decided in 1 year prepare the Olympic games.
Supported by all this friendly atmosphere. Matthew Margeson created really gentle soundtrack to which has no space or fake in naigranno pathos. Great cameraman Richmand not only shows the viewer the beauty of nature, but and his work emphasizes the entire produced the danger of the Olympic games. Perhaps you will notice sagging chromakey, but soon absolutely will lose significance. The center will be exactly heroes, but not the beautiful scenery and backgrounds. On the foreground there will be people who defy fate.
For the year this man decided to learn a new and also a dangerous craft to become an Olympian. He fell, broken jaw, arms, legs, suffered ridicule because of his bizarre appearance and habits, but all the time got up and went on. It is not just another motivational movie whose purpose is just to drive to you the truth — "try it, go ahead and everything will be fine". No no no, "Eddie "the eagle""" — more world movie. Not another clichéd hack kicks from you tear an unexpected first place loser. The cliché here, of course, missing, but they will prevent the view. History does not about the triumph. This film about the value of this great sport. When nobody believe there is only one chance to prove to people how much they were wrong. Only there, on the huge site, in front of all the people you to give full — is the only victory condition. Yes what is winning? Is the rewards of different quality? Victory — this is when you do everything your best to jump over your head.
"Eddy eagle""" could how to piss off many fans of the movie, and them to like me. All case in that will in the world of dreams come true. The world where the words of the father "You do not the Olympian" make the jump all further and dangerous and to refute this it is necessary to make only one push from side slides. Where, initially, all against you, but then together we cheer for any your result, because the disbelief was replaced by the phrase " You Can!". For someone baby and hackneyed to holes, for someone a discovery which changed the attitude to the sport. The tape is not is a favorite in any race for the film awards. She is guided by the same the rules that should guide athletes — "the Important thing is not win a part. The main thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle." And after watching the film, this statement is not seem to be some typical excuse for a loser, because you are likely to look at the sport differently.
