At first, I didn't plan to finish it. I didn't expect that the whole chicken would be frozen when I watched it. In the end, it was surging. "Rocky" was 68 years old, and "Angry Bull" was 71 years old. The two old boxers stood on the ring with real swords and punches. The swollen eye sockets and blood stains on their faces were very eye-catching.

This film is a Christmas show in North America with a lot of comedy elements. The director Peter Siegel has made many successful comedies. "The White-headed Detective", "The Confused Detective" and "The Fatty Professor" are all his works. • Sandler has collaborated with films such as "50 First Loves" and "The Longest One Code". He is definitely a quasi-first-line comedy director in Hollywood. He directs the tube, which will definitely guarantee the comedy temperament of the film. In addition, this time there is Kevin • Hart, the black man, talks ridiculously, so he has a lot of box office in North America. Unexpectedly, this film can be watched simultaneously in China, and the online speed is very fast, because Tencent Video’s "Hollywood Cinema" bought the online copyright of this film. The original sound is in the middle of the word, and there is an illusion of watching the subtitles. It is said that Wanda is a local tyrant in the cinema chain. I think Tencent Video is the local tyrant in the online cinema chain. It buys a lot of Hollywood copyrights. The "Hollywood Cinema" has some good resources, and the approval of the online cinema chain It's not the same thing as a movie theater, and there is no need to play the "dragon mark". So, is it invisible to open an extra window for domestic movie fans?

A lot of boxing movies are the bridges to stand up again after sinking, "Rocky 5" and "Angry Bull" all have this routine. resemblance. Stallone's figure is still quite tough, and the scabs on De Niro's face relax with his muscles, but considering his age, Foreman is weak.

Professional boxing was not allowed in the country before. It is easy to go wrong if you wear a pair of shorts shirtless. The audience was excited, the bikini girls walked by with their placards, and the full advertising brand, this may be the modern "civilization" movement closest to the ancient Roman gladiators. But boxing is very helpful in shaping masculinity. I am not sexist. Generally speaking, this sport is still a man's thing. MacArthur famously said: "Veterans never die. They just fade away." Stallone said in the film. The reason why he didn't buy a TV at home was because he was afraid that he would accidentally watch a boxing show. Once he stirred up his heart, how could a true "warrior/fighter" hold it? (See the movie "Fighter")

This is called a man, the purity is higher than vodka, Stallone is, so is De Niro. Stallone's nickname in the film is "Razor", and De Niro is a "child". The old grudge a few decades ago was because the "child" made the "Razor" girlfriend's belly bigger. So, after N years "Razor" began to face his ex-girlfriend who had re-entered his life, while "child" began to curb his cynicism and began to learn to be a qualified father and grandfather in front of his sons and grandchildren.

Interestingly, the story location of "Equal To Each Other" is set in Pittsburgh. This traditional steel industry capital is facing the same exhaustion as Detroit. The "child" has become a talk show actor, and "The Razor" is working in a large shipyard. ——This is an obvious hint, and the two old guys don’t know youtube and don’t know how to use the iPad. They seem to be far away from the times.

But the boxing king is the boxing king, standing on the ring will never grow old.
