eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), In 1977, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training had a moment in the sun. A glowing junk sculpture of American genressports flick, coming-of-age story, family melodrama, after-school special, road narrativethe film cashed in on the previous years success of its predecessor, The Bad News Bears. Arguing against the sequels dismissal as a cultural afterthought, Josh Wilker lovingly rescues from the oblivion of cinema history a quintessential expression of American resilience and joy.Rushed into theaters by Paramount when the beleaguered film industry was suffering from acute sequelitis, the (undeniably flawed) movie miraculously transcended its limitations to become a gathering point for heroic imagery drawn from American mythology. Considered in context, the films unreasonable optimism, rooted in its characters sincere desire to keep playing, is a powerful response to the political, economic, and social stresses of the late 1970s.To Wilkers surprise, despite repeated viewings, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training continues to move him. Its huge heart makes it not only the ultimate fantasy of the baseball-obsessed American boy, but a memorable iteration of that barbed vision of pure sunshine itself, the American dream.
