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, but he is unable to extricate himself from the center of prosperity and hustle and bustle. He is proud and irritable. I can't tell what is the most indispensable thing in life.

until lost.


In fact, each of us is an individual with various factors superimposed, success or failure, glory or humiliation, it is too easy for the world to label us. Our ego is firmly controlled by labels. In fact, the people in this world who really care about us and can measure us are by no means the ones who label us.

Yes, controlled, controlled by hatred, controlled by loneliness, controlled by a sense of failure. Being controlled then creates fear of involuntary, insecure fear.

There is no other secret to winning the final victory, each of us, which one of us has not been beaten by life? Don't be controlled by fear, don't be controlled by anger, see what you really want in life, this is the real victory. Quiet, neither humble nor arrogant, ready to go, even with the last punch, we did not knock the enemy to the ground like in the movie, but we were not controlled by those who wanted to hurt us. Our life and emotions are victory.

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