      Growth is not to eliminate darkness, but to have the ability to face the dark world

      This is actually not a traditional inspirational film.

      No matter how passionate his music, precise routines, and rebound from trough to victory, it seems like a happy ending.

      In fact, the whole film has three key words: self, control, and fear.

      The ego is the ego in the hustle and bustle. The male protagonist is the ego that floats in the eyes of everyone and fame and fortune. Since childhood, he has lacked a sense of security and honor. He must rely on his family,...

      post-adolescent rachel

      Rachel McAdams is 38? The face on the big screen still makes it hard for me to believe that her "Miss So Hot" was 14 years ago. It seems that in the current social atmosphere, female stars are required to be girls until they are 50 years old. As ordinary people, they still like to hear about it.

      Rachel McAdams has fulfilled all the audience's expectations for the owner of the name "Rachel" - sweet blonde, standard American sweetheart, the dream lover of the vast majority of good,...

      Personality Disordered Father Growth

      The content of the whole film "Tekken" is simple and clear. It is a cliché story, but it clearly deduces the growth process of a father with a personality disorder who is dead and alive, which makes moviegoers resonate or reflect.
            The male protagonist in the film is accurately a patient with personality disorder, which is caused by the lack of synchronized psychological growth of the (orphan) during the growth process. The obsession in the heart of a person with personality disorder...

      Jack is really working hard

      Four stars are for Jack's acting and hard work.
      The plot is the routine of a regular boxing story.
      A boxer feels like he has developed limbs and a simple mind, and is always taken care of by his wife. This inherent defect cannot be solved by winning one more fight, so even the warmth is unsettling for no reason.
      The daughter is extremely mature, and her eyes are full of drama, which is a bit too much. The worst thing is that his wife just died like that, and he didn't perform too...

      Southpaw

      A typical boxing movie, falling from the glory to the bottom and then regaining the glory of the plot. It's corny and predictable, but overall it's a movie worth watching.
      Boxer Hope, with his talent and strength, reached the top of the lightweight world boxing throne, and was unmatched for a while. However, an accident caused him to lose his wife. The blow knocked Hope out of the blue, and the anger and despair cost him the rest of the fight and disqualified him as a fighter for attacking...

      This movie was much higher than expected. Not all fighting movies have to be inspirational. This film is more like a story about a giant baby growing up without a guardian. Emotion control is really important. I also made a lot of tears. I feel like watching the movie as a young man with blood, but I would applaud when I watch boxing, it's so cute. Continue to attach UA hard...

    Behind the scenes gags

    At the beginning, the script was created as a sequel to "Eight Miles" (2002). The protagonist was the character played by Eminem in the first film; however, as the project further deepened, the script became irrelevant to "Eight Miles".
    Eminem was originally invited to appear in the film, he agreed to appear and once started filming. Later, because Eminem planned to concentrate on his music career, the film was forced to be stranded....

    Evaluation action

    The same is shooting boxing scenes. The language of "Fighter" is compact and exciting, and the music is used to achieve ups and downs; "Guild Fight" restores the filming method of live TV boxing matches, and strives to be true; "Tekken" adds a large number of subjective shots to make the audience more Have a sense of participation. Do not use music and slow motion to sensationalize, maintain the cruelty of the boxing match, try to...

      Tick Wills: That's like, you know, crazy stuff, right? So maybe I'm supposed to learn how not to be a dream-crusher. You know what I'm saying?

      Billy Hope: Why stop now?

    • Tick Wills: I'm gonna introduce you to something that you never knew before. It's called defence.
