Tenderness-like man

Boxers have always impressed me with big limbs and simple minds. This movie made me see the tender heart of the family behind the iron fist.

Whenever Block goes to a boxing match to say goodbye to his family, he sees his wife's worry and the innocent expectant eyes of his children. He knows that he is not only fighting for himself, but also for the children's milk and the food and clothing of the whole family. and fight. When he was at a low ebb in his life and had to beg for alms from the old boss to pay the electricity bill, I suddenly realized that this is the father's love. In order to give the child a warm home, even if I suffer a great grievance, I am willing to .

In fact, he sympathizes with and admires Block's wife. Every time her husband steps out of the house to participate in the competition, the outcome and even life and death are unknown. No one can understand the worries and fears in her heart. However, she always behaved like a good wife and mother. She didn't quarrel with her husband, she didn't force her to die, she didn't run away from home with her children, she just reminded her husband of kindness and silently supported her. She knew the mission and responsibility of her husband as a boxer, and she knew that behind a strong man, there must be a woman who silently supports, encourages and cares about him. And she is that woman.

The English title of the film is Cinderella Man. Cinderella means Cinderella. I think it has two meanings here. One means that Block, as a wounded veteran, can still defeat many powerful players with his strong willpower. Opponents, like Cinderella, do not bow to fate. Another meaning must be considered in the context of the whole story. At that time, the United States was going through the Great Depression, and a large number of ordinary people were on the verge of bankruptcy, but Block gave them hope. He overcame difficulties and was not afraid of adversity. The spirit of achievement is like Cinderella, inspiring many people who are on the verge of bankruptcy.
