"From blushing, heartbeat and sweating, to dark eyes and numb hands."
"Southpaw", also known as "Iron Fist", was released in 2015. Since the name "Tekken" is too widely used, for the convenience of identification, it is still called its literal translation, "Left-hander".
Left-Handed, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, tells a corny tale of the ups and downs of boxing champions. Although the story is old-fashioned, the filming method is relatively new. From the bandage on the boxer's hand at the beginning to the second training after the boxer falls to the bottom, the professional preparation steps before the match and the daily training method can make the audience feast for the eyes and watch. This film not only provides a glimpse into the daily life of a boxer, but also finds the negative effects of male hormones in the gaps covered with tendons.
"Anger is an acid that does more damage to the container in which it is stored than it does to anything that comes in contact with it." -Mark Twain.
As we all know, anger is not a good thing. When bad emotions have been suppressed in your heart for too long, and it happens that some trivial things make you explode in an instant, you will be swayed by anger. From blushing, heartbeat and sweating, to dark eyes and numb hands, but it doesn’t matter how serious, you may do some terrible things that hurt yourself or others because of anger.
The boxer played by Gyllenhaal in "Left-Handed" took advantage of this. He was beaten first and then broke out into a small universe. He won the championship, and was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Also because of anger, the man at the top fell to the bottom at once, and it was even worse for him, but luckily the story is more old-fashioned.
The old-fashioned stories are also well-organized. From the boxing routine at the opening to the style of play after the second training, it not only gives the audience a new look, but even the old opponents in the ring can be surprised.
The film's heroine is played by Rachel McAdams, who starred in the aforementioned "Time Traveler" and the future "Sherlock Holmes 3". Rachel's role in "Lefty" is not much, but it is impressive enough. It can be said that the 37-year-old Rachel is more than enough to match any eight-pack abs.
The male protagonist of the film is Jake Gyllenhaal, who was born in a family of films. This actor is believed to be very familiar to everyone. The award-winning work "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Ang Lee, "Prince of Persia" adapted from an action game, the extremely eye-catching "Love and Elixir", the brain hole blockbuster "Source Code" directed by the director of "World of Warcraft", and "King Kong" Wolf" Hugh Jackman starred in "The Prisoner", I wouldn't know that I've watched so many movies starring him if I didn't read it a little.
Of course, the most impressive is Gyllenhaal's "Nightcrawler" starring in 2014. In the film, Gyllenhaal volunteered to lose about 18 pounds in order to play "White Eyed Wolf". And in the following year's "Left-Handed", Gyllenhaal made a furious appearance with eight-pack abs.
It seems that there is another dedicated actor like Bell and Matthew McConaughey.
