abstract
This film is based on 1974 Golden Globe Award movie The Longest Yard. Paul Chloe (adam sandler) is the ace quarterback of American professional football team. He was put in prison for some reason. Nate scarborough (burt reynolds), an intercollegiate gold medal coach, is in full swing outside, but at the same time he is put in prison. The two met in a narrow way in prison, and they were full of gunpowder. Walton Heisen (james cromwell), a cruel warden, loves football very much. He asked Paul to form a football team in prison. At first, the prisoners were not interested, but when they found out that their opponent was actually a prison guard, they all became extremely enthusiastic and United. Because this is a good opportunity to retaliate against the cruel prison guards for their consistent oppression. ...
Behind the scenes production
The film gathered many famous Hollywood stars, and invited some players who were critical of American professional football, such as Michael Irwin (dallas cowboys), who won the Super Bowl three times, and Bill Romansky (Oakland Cavaliers), who won the Super Bowl four times, to guide and participate, so as to enhance the professionalism and popularity of the film competition. Besides, you can also see World Cup wrestling champions Bill Coburg and steve austin, so it is not hard to imagine that the movie must be full of bloody and violent scenes.
Although adam sandler, the star of this film, is a layman to rugby, in order to play a professional role in the film, he has received special training from former national team quarterback Sean Salisbury and coach Mark Ellis, so that his gestures are appropriate. Adam once starred in two sports comedies, The Young Man in the Stadium and The Water Delivery Boy. 1974' s classic The Longest Yard is one of his favorite movies, so he accepted the remake without hesitation. His role as Paul Chloe in the film (based on the' 74 version of burt reynolds) also injected more unique characteristics of adam sandler. It seems that this comedian, who has been playing the role of a nobody on the screen, is gradually trying to break away from his own inherent gameplay.
short review
It has been popular in Hollywood to remake old movies for some time. Since Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was remake in black and white for men and women a few months ago, another classic old movie has been "tossed" into a funny version. Although this "rape" has attracted the contempt of many professional film critics, where will Hollywood, which follows the "market decides everything", notice this? I believe that the almost numb audience will witness more.
