"The Substitute" in 2000 Produced by Warner Bros. and released nationwide in mid-August 2000, "The Substitute" is a film with a simple plot and a clear main line. There have been many works reflecting sports, such as "My Beloved Sports", "Sunday Reincarnation", etc., but the difference between this film and other films is that it completely takes a relaxed route. Although the content lacks new ideas, it is shaken from time to time. The bag of jokes and the actors' well-measured exaggerated performances still made the audience laugh. Especially the handsome guy Keanu Reeves unexpectedly changed the route of sports comedy, which aroused some expectations. The story of "The Substitute" The background of the film is taken from the 1987 players' strike initiated by the National Football League. The season is coming to an end, but the football players of a team called the "Washington Sentinels" are still refusing to play for a raise in salary. This makes the team's owner Edward O'Neil (played by Jack Warden) anxious. In desperation, he can only invite his former coach Jimmy McGinty (played by Gene Hackman), hoping that he can quickly form a team composed of substitute players within a week to cope with the remaining 4 games. Contest. Jimmy was originally a very good coach, but because his alternative coaching style was not appreciated by Edward, he resigned in anger. Faced with the latter's request this time, he agreed, but the premise was that the selection of team members must be completely decided by him. Jimmy, who disdains "money games", decided not to play by the rules this time. What he is looking for is a group of ordinary people who love football more than money. A week later, when Jimmy brought the men he had recruited to Edward, the latter gasped and almost fainted. This substitute team includes handsome dock porter Shann Falco (played by Keanu Reeves) - who once served as quarterback on the field, but unfortunately was known as the "Always Losing General"; "Fast Legs" Kerry Ford Franklin - running all over the court, but just can't touch the ball; Los Angeles policeman Daniel Bateman - destructive, excessive passion, and prone to violence on the court; Japanese sumo wrestler Eha - He is huge but not flexible enough, and his heavyweight belly is the secret weapon of the team; Brian Murphy - talented and intelligent, but the only regret is... he is deaf! Other team members also include bodyguards, shop owners, prison inmates... The team Jimmy is looking for is composed of such a group of "crooked melons and cracked dates". Not to mention others, even these substitutes themselves are not confident. The "bad training" that started after that made everyone even more discouraged. The lack of coordination and cooperation on the field was terrible. According to Edward's words - "it's better to play monkey". Fortunately, coach Jimmy was by his side, and his teachings from the bottom of his heart made everyone finally understand: As long as they have two things - loving rugby with their lives and trust and cooperation between them, they will be able to surpass themselves and create miracles. The audience no longer has to guess at the development of the story about the true identity of the "substitute players". After a series of ideological sublimation, this temporary team composed entirely of substitute players achieved better results than the original professional players, killing all the way. Towards the finals; and our handsome guy Keanu also took a break from busy work to fall in love with the beautiful female cheerleader (Brooke Langton)... The comedy + sports style destined this film to have a "happy ending". It's not so much about rugby as it is about ordinary people. Director Harward believes: "This movie tells the story of a group of people who are not confident. In fact, many people will experience this kind of thing, not just in sports. I hope this movie can make people laugh, but I prefer I hope it touches the hearts of the audience, and if Keanu, the coach, and the other players can realize their dreams, everyone should be able to do it." I don't know about Keanu's appearance in black from "The Matrix." Having fascinated so many movie fans, I thought he would continue to act cool, but unexpectedly Keanu chose such a low-cost film and took the route of a sports comedy. "Keanu is a big-name star with thousands of fans, but he still has the temperament of an ordinary person - there is no distance between him and the audience." Harward said when explaining why he was selected. Yes, he has the coolness of "Hacker" and the extraordinaryness of "Speed", but he also has the innocence, frankness, even shyness and unconfidence of the big brother next door. In order to play the role in the film this time, Keanu deliberately gained 23 pounds to achieve the effect. Acting star Gene Hackman, who was born in California, has won two Oscars. His works include "The Birdcage", "Enemy of the State", "Absolute Power", etc. There is also a familiar friend among this group of substitutes - Rhys Ifans, who plays the shop owner. He is Hugh Grant's sloppy roommate "Sprite" in "Notting Hill". Rhys is the kind of person who has the audience ready to burst into laughter as soon as he appears. The behind-the-scenes production team of this film is also an elite gathering, including director Howard Deutch, who is widely acclaimed for directing "Pretty in Pink" and "The Odd Couple 2", and producer Dylan Cyrus ("9 Pregnant Women"). "Moon", "Crazy About Mary"), screenwriter Vince McEwen ("Rush Hour"), as well as cinematographer Tucker Fudgemoto ("The Sixth Sense"), composer John Debney ("Detective Plus") "Jit", "The Big Talker").

Coming out of the "Arena of Ancient Rome", the "Smoke of the War of Independence", and the "Perfect Storm", you may already feel heavy and tired while admiring the beauty of the large-scale production. So, in such a scorching summer, perhaps a light-hearted and funny film like "The Substitute" will bring you a rare sense of coolness.
