My favorite character in this movie was Smile. I grew up doing gymnastics where it is all about the scores and awards you get as an individual, not as a team. I was constantly competing against my best friends on my team, because in the end we were each more worried about our individual scores than our team score. So every meet was a competition against not only against girls from other gyms (like China), but against my best friends (similar to when Smile and Peco played against each other at the end of this movie). Football players and athletes from other team sports rarely have the scenario where they are literally trying to beat their best friend.
I think I will see more foreign films now that the door has been opened! I have been wanting to see "Coco Before Chanel", a foreign French film about how the brand Chanel came to be. I think i'll watch it this weekend!
Continue watching foreign films!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about not understanding some of the jokes. I was totally in the same boat. I wonder what people from other countries think about the jokes in our movies...
