I have to admit, when I knew that the fierce and ruthless Billy in "Iron Fist" was actually played by Gyllenhaal, I had no way to associate this character with that persistent, restrained, slightly scholarly man. This kind of effect is like the effect of a square dance aunt listening to "Nocturne" and waltzing.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the film, the male protagonist has his own halo, impressive achievements, a perfect family, fits any male protagonist's setting, and represents the pinnacle of life, but fortunately, the male protagonist is not the protagonist of an idol drama, he does not He can control his emotions very well, and even he is not very good at dealing with things other than boxing. He will be cramped and nervous, and he cannot even give a complete speech in front of the public. Fortunately, he has assistants who can help, but In a subsequent incident, he fell off the altar, lost his love, and then lost everything he had. I have to admit that in this part of the performance, Gyllenhaal's performance completely shocked me. His inherent impression, from invincible to humble to dust, really changed in an instant, without any pressure. Such a Gyllenhaal makes it impossible to associate with the enthusiastic and cheerful little cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.
In the usual boxing movies, there are unsurpassed classics like "Raging Bull", which fill the blanks of the whole movie with primitiveness, roughness and horror; there are also "Rocky" that highlights the boxer's willpower and fearless spirit. Chicken soup type movies; of course, boxing movies have limited operability and cannot fully show the charm of boxing. More often, boxing is used as a background board, mixed with arrogant and hidden evil agents, or people who are too good-looking. Losing friends, but these will change slowly after some things, you come to a fork in the road again, all the way is the boxer fighting hard and fighting, and finally getting redemption, the audience is very excited, very inspirational, there is another kind of boxer sinking. , took drugs and alcohol, suffered humiliation and died, leaving viewers to mourn their misfortune and anger them.
Life itself is a movie, or a game, you are the protagonist of the story, you are fighting monsters and leveling up, and you are constantly cultivating yourself. Why is it? Actually, it is not so-called success. When you are only a line away from death, you will find that success, money, are all clouds. In fact, the most important thing to you is family and your love. good health and happiness of people. This movie of life has an end, and the whole process is brilliant, even if you are unlucky, it is your pain, it is those moments when you are desperate. These are your treasures, cherish them well, feel every pain in the process of injury, think about why, how, what else can be done, what will happen in the future, what will I do if he does this.
In the eyes of some people, the movie seems to be too much literary drama and a little disappointed, but it can be seen that the movie did not deliberately stir up emotions to earn tears, but did a good job of retracting it freely and closer to the real situation.
After watching the movie, I suddenly realized that life is like boxing, with reality, an ever-changing and powerful opponent, we may be reached by him at any time, but we must stand up, face it, defeat it, and use our own strength Be brave.
