Iron fist!

The first one I want to talk about is "The Iron Fist" starring Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger. The reason why I started writing from this movie is because this movie is also an inspirational chapter, which can ease the low-key mood, and it is quite emotional when I just watched it. Because he had to support his family during the Great Depression, he relied on boxing to subsidize his family, and it was with this heart that he was not persistent in his persistence and eventually became brilliant again, so he was named "Cinderella's man" as Katying's name means. And Renee Zellweger plays his beautiful and gentle wife. Touching scene 1: Jimmy's eldest son stole a sausage from the store, fearing that what he didn't eat would be sent to relatives for foster care. Jimmy took the children to return the sausages. Along the way, he kept educating the children that people can be poor, but stealing is absolutely wrong. The child timidly said the reason for stealing, because he was afraid that he would be sent away like a partner. The father solemnly promised his son that he would never let such a thing happen to their family. Father and son embrace each other. Touching scene 2: Jimmy's match was invalidated and he returned home without a penny and his boxing license was revoked. His wife had no complaints. She comforted Jimmy that as long as he was alive, it was more important than anything else. There is not much language, just a silent hug. I think this way of getting along is the way a real couple gets along. As a wife or as a woman, she was amazing. Touching scene 3: Jimmy returns home and finds that the children have been sent by his wife to stay with his parents, and he is furious. Because he said he promised his son not to let such a thing happen to their children. So he went to the wharf to help workers, to collect relief books, and to "beg" from people at the boxing club. This scene is heart-wrenching. Touching scene 4: Jimmy miraculously won the game, he received the prize money. He came to the relief house again to return the money to the government in full. Although he said it was a good government that would show up when people needed help, it was clearly a bit of propaganda. But I admire his behavior of paying back the money. He knows self-esteem and is a complete iron man. Touching scene 5: When facing the last boxing challenge, his opponent was a young boxer who had killed several opponents. Jimmy's boss persuaded him to give up, his wife even fell out with him, and he didn't give up. The moment his wife went to church to pray for him, she finally understood her husband's decision. Because the whole church was already full of people including the priest, they were all praying for Jimmy. She understood that his husband was not only fighting for himself and his family, but for the poor people during the Great Depression, and he was their hope. His success can give them motivation and hope to struggle. At that time, my eyes were also wet, and there was a feeling in my heart. A warm current. At that moment, there was a hero in front of me, and I admired heroes.
