Regarding comedy movies, everyone has their own favorite genre. For me, "British comedy" is the heart of my heart. I recently saw a movie and almost missed it because of the title. "Uncle Synchronized Swimming Team" was not at first glance. I thought it was an ordinary inspirational movie. Before watching it, I was a little bit nervous, afraid of wasting precious time in my life. What I didn't expect was that it was enough to make people laugh at the beginning.
The sense of crisis of the middle-aged uncle
The movie is developed from the perspective of an uncle. Synchronized swimming is difficult to associate with a group of uncles who have beer belly and are very greasy. The uncles in the film have big belly and fade without exception. The tattoos and deep forehead lines, each has their own life and different worries, but they face the middle-aged crisis together, in their original words, "They show strength and grace. The process of gradual decay" The hero of
, like most middle-aged men, is exhausted every day by repeating mechanical and procedural office work day after day. I believe that every office worker has the same feeling. Of course, he also hates socializing and socializing, and even the love for his wife is almost exhausted.
just escaped from life, afraid of aging, he joined a men's swimming club by chance. Adding him to
, there are a total of eight people in the team. They are having fun together, as if they have found something they like again. This club is really a wonderful place. Unlike many clubs that promote fitness and sports, this men’s swimming club tells the public when they promote themselves, they are expressing a kind of thought:
they are fighting against the end of dreams and against The boring life
They hope to cultivate middle-aged men who have more interest in life!
"Uncle Drew" + "Five Jumping Boys" = "Uncle Synchronized Swimming Team"
"Uncle Drew" talks about a group of uncles teaming up street basketball, telling the audience "Vitality is not about age, but about mentality"
"Five Boys Who Fell in the Water" is a Japanese youth film that shows us the blood and passion of men's synchronized swimming.
The combination of the two themes is this "Uncle Synchronized Swimming Team"!
The appearance of men's athletes in synchronized swimming is considered to be a reform. In 2009, Milan, Italy hosted the first men's synchronized swimming World Cup, and there were still twelve countries participating. The
movie also has a plot of their participation in the competition, leaving them only four weeks of training time. Although the final champion was the Swedish team, this group of "half-way" British uncles took the runner-up.
is most afraid of real people and real things, but this is really real people and real things.
There are indeed several uncles and their deities in the play. Although the chicken soup of the whole movie is thrown out one by one, it is inevitable that you will feel routine when watching it. In the end, I will still be moved.
In 2010, Sweden made a documentary documenting the Swedish team, the world championship championship team. In 2018, France also made the same type of film "Big Baths". The reason why this theme is so popular is that men's synchronized swimming is no longer a small one. It's a mess. In 2015, the FINA has approved the mixed doubles synchronized swimming event composed of one man and one woman, and the international teams of this competition can be seen in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
breaks the so-called tradition, creates diversification, and changes the concept of competition, which is a very meaningful subject.
