Brazilians Celebrating With Lula In Av. Paulista ❤️⭐

I don’t know if I can do this. I want it so bad, but I get so scared of what might happen. Relax, I can handle it. I’m young, I’m talented. They’ll see it in me. I’ve got to hang on.

Luisa felt that even after people die, they’re still present. She wondered how long she would live on in the memory of others. But she preferred not to fill her mind with thoughts of death.

Losing hurts me, Its something that I haven't learnt to live with yet. Yesterday when I lost, I went to give a hug to the biggest and best in history that I've seen play. My friend & brother messi, I got sad & told him “f*ck you won me”. I've a lot of respect for what he did for football and especially for me. I'm too sad to have lost but this guy is crap. Hate to loose! But enjoy your title. Football was waiting for this moment. Congrats brother.

Maverick and Iceman Have the Best Relationship in the 'Top Gun' Films

Tom Cruise’s and Val Kilmer’s characters needed each other then and now.

“Right away, the audience notices that what one lacks, the other has. Maverick and Iceman can’t see this though, as they’re so caught up in the competition and winning. We can also see that their relationship isn’t so black and white. Maverick and his big smile might seem to make him the good guy, with Iceman being the egotistical jerk, but it’s more complicated than that. Maverick is reckless and Iceman isn’t wrong in believing so and telling him when others won’t, even if his delivery makes him come across as a heel. No matter how it’s said, it’s what Maverick needs to hear. Top Gun’s push against expectations, to have the hero be wrong and the supposed villain be right, only adds to the dynamic between Maverick and Iceman.

The clash between Maverick and Iceman reaches its crescendo when tragedy strikes and forces them together. We all know the scene. It’s one of the most heartbreaking moments in film history when Goose is killed in an inflight accident. Both Maverick and Iceman are at least partially to blame. Even if they didn’t mean to, their rivalry and push for perfection helped to cause the accident. Goose’s passing creates an unbreakable bond between them, even if neither wants it. They share something that no one else will ever be able to understand. There was already an unspoken respect when they were enemies. Maverick and Iceman were so invested in beating each other because they knew how great the other one was. Now that respect is etched in something much bigger than the competition.

That respect and forced bond are tested in the film’s climax, where, in a scene that begins to unfold similar to how Goose dies, Maverick comes through, working together with Iceman. When we get our sappy, “You can be my wingman anytime” finale, it means more because of who is saying it. These aren’t two close friends. These are two men who are opposites in almost every way, who were forced together by their profession. It’s a relationship built on time and circumstances, rather than a natural bond. A relationship that blooms in chaos is always more impactful than one whose roots grow parallel.

When we see why Iceman has brought Maverick back to Top Gun, to teach Goose’s son, Rooster, and from that, to hopefully learn to forgive himself, it speaks to the power of their friendship, built by respect and time. Iceman looks out for Maverick because Maverick once looked out for him. It leads to the most emotional scene of the film when Maverick meets a dying Iceman in his office. The filmmakers found a powerful way to film around Val Kilmer’s cancer and inability to speak. Maverick and Iceman don’t need words. A look can say it all. There are times, with Iceman sitting at his desk, quietly looking at Maverick, that it almost feels like he is a therapist, being silent as he lets his patient figure it out.

Iceman wants Maverick to make peace with Rooster. “If I send him on this mission he might never come home,” Maverick explains. “If I don’t send him he’ll never forgive me. Either way, I could lose him forever.” Iceman understands this. He was there when Goose died. He has had to carry that in his own way too, but he rose above it and lived his life. He wants the same for Maverick. He types out, “IT’S TIME TO LET GO” on his computer, the cursor blinking as if repeating the sentence to Maverick over and over again.

It’s the crucial point in the film that finally pushes Maverick past his guilt and forces him to evolve. Iceman is the only one who could get that out of him. He is the only person Maverick respects enough to listen to, the advice heightened by a dying Iceman letting go of life. If he can let go of being alive, then how can Maverick not let go of the past?

The Top Gun films, above anything, are about relationships. It knows, as the best action films do, that all of the fight scenes and explosions in the world don’t mean anything without characters to care about. Watching friends move through life together and romances begin is a part of that, but nothing is more powerful than a film that gives us two people who are opposites but develop a deep bond not based on love or preexisting feelings, but through the circumstances that the films put them in. That’s the basis of drama. When you can pull it off, it’s movie magic.”
