      No matter whether it is true or not, I live in my dream

      Whether or not he actually holds Bob Satterfield, he is the Iron Crown. He lives in a white lie, but he also ruins himself in this lie. Josh Harnett (reporter) is a well-known radio station owner who prevents him from becoming an unfamous reporter. Living in lies can make his children proud, but he will become more and more lost, which is why this false fact is created. No matter what happens in the future, we can’t lie to our children, because they will grow up, and time can’t go backwards,...

      "loser"

      The content core of a movie is intertwined. With characters as the element, the complexity of the characters determines the depth of the movie content. Obviously, the story of this movie is mainly based on two main characters, the reporter Eric Conan and the tramp "Bob Satterfield". Two "losers", one is an elderly man who has stepped down from its former glory, and the other is a small reporter in the industry who is eager to be recognized. They share their perceptions of failure in...

      I want to express too much, but it is not deep but it leaves marks

      All the development of this film originated from the desires and lies of two men. After the lie was exposed, they each "regrouped."

      The story narration is relatively complete, but the handling of a few supporting actors and a few short stories is too abrupt.

      There are many things that this film wants to express, but there are too many, all kinds of intertwined, greedy and can not chew, the many deliberate conflict resolution and sublimation in the later part of the film did not...

      nice!

      good. It's worth seeing.

      I like this kind of movie with ups and downs... I

      like the performance of the old black man...

      As for the handsome guy, the performance is average, there are no highlights... The

      film sends us a message that is worth thinking about: how to trust a person ; How to tolerate a person; how to be a good father; how to face mistakes; how to reinvigorate! !

      Although there are no magnificent scenes from the beginning to the end,...

      It's a good film that can trigger thinking

      The film has another name, "Chewing repeatedly", which sounds very awkward at first, but if you finish watching the film, you will find such an unpleasant name to be more suitable than "Regrouping". "Resurrecting the Champ", the English word (resurrect) has the meaning of coming back to life and resurrecting. In my opinion, it is clear that Champ left the world with regret after all. Let go of the inner secrets, maybe the body can be transformed into a smear of smoke and can remove the...

      At best, the quality is mediocre, the grasp of the relationship between the characters has not been developed to the maximum limit, and in the end, the development of the characters' psychology has not been fully explained and the development has not been pushed to the extreme like an angry bull. However, its inspirational concept is still worth...

    Movie plot

    On the run-down streets of Denver, an old gray-haired man pushed a supermarket shopping cart, which contained everything he had in the world. No one knows his real name, so they gave him the nickname of "repeated chewing". However, none of these people know that the humble old man was once the most promising talented boxer Bob Satterfield in the boxing arena. After years of baptism in boxing, many boxers recognize it. Clearly the fact...

    Creative background

    On May 4, 1997, an article by Los Angeles journalist JR Mollinger introduced the twists and turns of the "warrior" Bob Setterfield. This heavyweight boxer should have become Chicago’s gold medal. The glove champion missed this supreme honor because of a small mistake in the crucial battle. In the end, Bob, who couldn't accept the reality, wandered the streets of California with a whole body of pain. In the headline article called "Chew...

    Evaluation action

    "Resurrecting the Champ" tells the dialectical relationship between people's career and life, so it is easy to win the audience's resonance. The plot of the film is complicated and confusing, and it has a strong viewability. Josh Hartnett's performance is restrained, but sincere   . (Tencent Entertainment Review)
    The film’s response after the release was very good, and its praise basically revolved around the superb performances of...
