For media educator
Eddie the Eagle, based on the life of a real ski jumper, shows encouragingly how with an unyielding attitude you can make even seemingly impossible dreams come true. The main character is easily approachable and offers an object of identification to all those who have sometimes experienced themselves as an underdog. Eddie is not a natural sports talent, and he cannot afford top equipment, but he has the will and tenacity to improve himself. Eddie does not let difficulties and scoffers discourage him but believe in his abilities all the time - although sometimes takes life-threatening risks.
