卡特教练

First of all , I’d like to say I love films , especially films from America . The

exact time that I fell in love with American films is in my senior two , when I

watched 《face off and《true lies》.They are so wonderful that I still

remember them clearly as if I had watched them yesterday. And ,

yesterday , I did watch a film , it is called 《carter coach 》 , it has

impressed me so much that I can't help writing something about it , maybe

not correctly , but it is my own personal view . -

-

Firstly , I want to share you with the content of the film . Yes , just as

the tittle says , it is about coach carter , a basketball coach who leads a

team consists of senior students . In fact , these students are bad guys , that

is to say , they are “problem students “ , they abandon books , lack

discipline , and they are all with rebellious behavior . The former coach is

not fit to handle it well , so carter is there to take over the coaching job at

Richmond high school , where their basketball team are struggling .

Apparently , he take the job not for the $1200 yearly pay but regard it as a

challenge and a favor to the previous coach . Maybe you’ve got it , things

that follows are far from perfect . But he stick to the end . -

At the very beginning , when carter first meet these rebellious guys , he call

one of these students as “sir”. He wants to show respect to them , and he

wants them to respect him as well as themselves . But they all laugh , so

strange , they think , and they just take his words for granted. At the first

day , one of these guys left because of disobey . Carter is very strict with

them , he gives penalty to them when his “sirs “ are not punctual to the

stadium or disobey to his words . And he do it in a humorous way , for

example , carter says “、、 sir” , you again five minutes late , so do two handred push ups.” “wait , wait ,wait, how could you? Sir ,this is not a

match , ok ? this is just regular training”. So carter replied , ok ! very good

words ! you are so lucky to be added two handred more push ups “ . as far

as I'm concerned , the lines spoken by him is so very classic. I find him a

man full of wits and humor . And also , he is a hero with responsibility ,

discipline and companion. Just as anybody can imagine , his “students”

dislike him and even more hatred him . However, no matter what happens ,

he never change his teaching style. He persists his own principle even when

the world became the enemy to him , still struggling to the truth ! I was

totally moved when the plot reaches to the peak . With his sole leadership ,

the team does well and win all the games they played so far . But when

coach carter gets the academic reports for the team , he is absolutely

disappointed , since many of the players have not lived up to their contract

which is signed at the outset of their cooperation. Carter made them to sign

the contract so that they agree to maintain a 2.3 GPA(which stands for the

academic achievement and the required is 2.0 ) and sit in the front row of

classes they attend, and wear a suit and tie on game day . Now they failed

in academy , so he puts a lock on the gym and refuses to have practice or

allow the players to play ball until everyone has at least 2.3 GPA . “I can't

teach you to play a ball game until your conditions allow me to ".he says .

Naturally, all his team member disappoveof it , the students' parents as

well as the school staff including the principal were all scheduled to go

against , even the citizens of Richmon shrug on it . They can't understand

why he cancelled all the competition when their team is so superb . Carter

stick with his plan in spite of intense media pressure . The parents point out

that basketball is everything for some kind of kids , so does other people.

Carter responds that their goals should be higher , and that high school

basketball isn't an end unto itself . he argues that there is and should be

more for these students to live for . -

-

Eventually ,the principal supports him but the school decides whether

or not to remove the lock from the gym . Carter says he will resign if they

remove the lock. At last ,the school does decide to remove the lock from

the gym. Just as carter is about to clean out his office , he see his players in

the gym , incredibly , but studying. He is moved by these children. Then the

team's grades meet Carter's standards virtually .And thanks to Carter’s

focus on their academic careers, they eventually realize that they can do

more with their lives. They study their school work and then get to play

basketball. At last , the team is to have a match with the state

championship, and it ended with failure. But , actually, they win as

champions. They overcome themselves , they've learned a lot from the

process, so we all know they win mentally. -

-

I’m very satisfied with this result. The dialogue in the end is very

profound, especially Carter's words, they prompt us to deep thought. After

I finish watching this 136 minutes film, the sentence came on my mind

again, my most favorite principle :when you discover you stand by the side

that most people stand, you must reconsider, because the truth is often

grasped by the minority . -

So the above is a short introduction of the film , now I’d like to list

several reasons why I like tit: -

Firstly , the music. The music matches the film perfectly. And the music is so

various that it make people feel refreshing, different musics match
