Introduction

In his six years as a coach, Taylor has never had a winning season. When Shiloh, the best player on the team, decides to transfer, their hopes of winning in the new season are gone. After losing three games at the beginning of the season, Taylor finds out that the fathers have decided to fire him, and the ensuing pressure makes him completely lose hope. How will he regain his courage and confidence and defeat his fear with faith? ◇Bonus: American movie "Facing the Giants" causes controversy over religious beliefs A film aimed at student audiences, about a high school football coach influencing players with his faith in God, has found an audience in Congress, not because of the film's religious message, but because of the film's rating. Congressman Roy Brent and many lawyers were very dissatisfied when they heard that the film "Facing the Giants" was rated PG instead of G because of its religious content, and wrote to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to ask for an explanation. PG means that it is recommended that the film be watched with parents, and G means that the film is suitable for all ages. In his letter, Roy Brent questioned why the MPAA rated the film as restricted because of its religious content. He even brought out a recent survey by the Harvard School of Public Health, saying that the MPAA's ability to manage sex and violence in movies is getting weaker and weaker. The implication is that the MPAA is "not managing what it should manage, and meddling in what it shouldn't manage." MPAA officials did not respond to the questions raised by Roy Brent and other congressmen and lawyers, but in a letter to Brent, MPAA's Krickman insisted that the film was rated this way not just because of its religious content. He said that if there were any strong topics involving mature content in the film, it would likely be rated PG. "Facing the Giants" discusses pregnancy and other mature topics in a mature way. "The PG rating is because we hope that parents will know what information their children will get from the film before they watch it." Congresswoman Martha was not satisfied with this explanation. She said that they would continue to study the film rating procedures and standards and hoped to hold a hearing this year. Krickman said that the film producers had no objection to such a rating. Producer and marketing vice president Chris said that after the controversy, the film association officials changed their story. Chris said: "When we first communicated, they told us that religious content was one of the reasons for the classification.
