Horror is used to face the biggest sports problem

Warning: This article contains The main spoilers For “he”.

It is not every day that we get a horror movie of a sporting character, especially One with producer Jordan Bell slapped all over marketing. Of course, there was no lack of interest surrounding him “for him”, mostly in relation to how co -author Justin Tipping took the very familiar idea about the culture of poisonous football and turning it into an original horror story about an upbringing sporting preparation. anything To make it to the major league championships. At the end of the day, this is the movie that we received … even if some aspects are somewhat not present, AS /Chris Evangelista movie detailed in its review. But one of the wonderful aspects of this scenario relates to the largest (largely) issue facing sports in general.

It is not exactly a narrative that gives priority to ridiculous things like “accuracy” or “restraint”, and it does not take a long time to realize that it is in his mind. But before the appearance of the title card, the incitement is largely spoiled by the most interesting topic of the topic. After the young midfielder Cameron Kadi (Terik Witzars) raised football player, the idol star Isaia White (Marlon Wyanz), it is time to take the biggest step so far to storm the professional level. (Interestingly, the phrase “National Football League” has never been mentioned or appeared on the screen at any time … Most likely for legal reasons, given the filming of the movie less than this sport.) But before he can produce his career, he puts a distorted fan in a terrible award in these plans-literally-with one swing one of the front of Ras Camero.

From there, he takes “a” increasing and hallucinogenic approach on a cam journey to become the greatest time ever. But even amid nightmare and exotic pictures that follow, one thread is still clear. In an environment in which athletes are routinely treated as goods and ignoring them, “he” indicates directly in two of the main comets: the owners of the difference and the fans alike.

For a movie, it may also be the physical appearance of “I know the writers who use the sub -text” MimiAnd “for him” takes a surprisingly studied and bold look to what it must be a controversial topic. There is a reason that makes the Universal Pictures lean on the idea of ​​making the marketing campaign for this film similar to a mixture of NIKE ads via Jordan horror filter. American football is the most popular sport in North America, so Make an effort to stab directly to the total fan base to reach the red box office area? This is clear and direct strategy as it happens. But as soon as these Bots ended in the theater seats, the director Justin turned and attributed to the major participants Zach Akraz and skipped a little Bronque from switching to it. It was fair to assume that such a movie would not necessarily have a more optimistic view of football. But what the masses may not expect is a direct warning story about how to deal with us, worship and profit our favorite athletes.

“He” is not only treated with this early shock that leads to a dunum -shaped feedback on his head and concussion, to boot, but also through his more mysterious sub -caution. When Cam agrees to save his parked career through training with the isolated Issaya White (and soon) for a week, he immediately runs to the extreme. Outside the desert complex in Isaiah, a group of obsessive fans carrying signs called “The One One” and Heats Paint Paint Paint Paint, and they scream on how they do not want. He looked at him as a potential threat and replacement, and this makes him the enemy.

Most of the films had dropped this at the time and there, after it had already shown a strong point. “He” is not like most films, and this escalates to a dramatic confrontation (and perhaps halas?) Is horrific as it is unexpected. The same fan (which Naomi Grossman plays) and two accessories attacked physically in a weak moment, using an extreme example to excite a prominent point. Especially with the spread of sports online, it is easier than ever for fans to display the worst self. It is not a coincidence that “he” takes such behavior to its logical end.

But before anyone made a mistake as a movie as a movie only About the most unlucky fanatics there, the bloody conclusion makes it clear that the real blame for the largest problem in sports goes to the top. In a dream -like sequence where Kam comes out of the Isaiah Training Complex, covered with blood after fighting his (former) teacher until death, he finds himself in a football field as if it was the day of the opening of the American Football Association season. The owner of the savior (again, a dedicated accuracy for cheese), the team that Kam dreamed of joining his entire life, sitting on the podium alongside his agent Tom (Tim Hider) and many other mysterious characters – all of whom wear disturbing masks, some of them are made of pigs. The wife of Isaiah, the mysterious Alasi (Julia Fox), also urges the signing of the dotted line of the changing contract of life and mainly handing his independence as a person, which is inside the end that settles and unleashes the bloody destruction of ages against those who were responsible for his suffering all the time.

It does not require much creative licensing to watch a collection of films that are organized almost such as the slave auction and the interpretation of this as a very convincing metaphor for talented athletes (many of whom are colored people, such as CAM) who are exposed to the most human circumstances that can be imagined. No, no one will cry for multiple athletes who have reached stardom and achieved their dreams … but this does not negate the real problem of fully benefiting from these workforce and misusing them in order to make Pak. Isaiah may eventually take the role of the opponent against Cam by the end, but it can hardly be said that the real bad guys are men (often white) in the positions of strength who made all this possible in the first place. None of them took into account their well -being, but all of them stood from the talents and ability that exceeds it. This may not be a racist metaphor such as “exit” or “we”, but “he” cannot be accused of not being in his mind.

“He” is playing now in theaters.
