I haven't seen the first "Creed", but it doesn't affect my understanding of this one. A very warm film, it was a bit boring at first, because the male protagonist's boxing champion came too easily. Later, with the development of the plot, it gradually became better, and there were many ups and downs and tribulations, which began to make people closely connected with the plot, and they were moved and cried.
The deepest impression was that Stallone told Creed that to win, he had to be reborn. So they left the familiar training environment and came to a purgatory-like place. A world boxing champion still has to break through and endure a new growth and transformation. There is only one song in the training process. Presumably, in addition to the continuous strengthening of the body, what I see more is Creed's rebuilding of confidence and identifying the power of belief. It is also the confidence that this experience has shaped that has always accompanied him to the final victory. On the contrary, the male villain and his father, the purpose of the challenge is to prove it to others, and when the person who sees it later leaves, the confidence will be dissipated, and the thing that insists on is completely disintegrated.
Another thing that moved me was that the coach played by Stallone loved Creed like a father, Creed's attachment and need to him, Stallone's perseverance to Creed, and the hatred and revenge of the villain father and son formed sharp contrast. The power of the world is so powerful that it can annihilate a person's purest pursuit if he is not careful. In the face of the first challenge, everyone did not support Creed's decision, and even the coach left him. Although everyone still cared about him and protected him, they did not accompany him to fulfill his wish, but hoped that he would be safe. , have children, and keep the position of boxing champion. Creed at that time, he was lonely, confused and helpless. Although he tried his best to prepare, he was shaken in his heart, and he had no faith that he could hold on to. After the failure, he fell to the bottom of his life, indifferent, sensitive, stubborn, and distrustful. This kind of self-renunciation stems from the fact that he closed the door of his own heart, and only he can unlock it, no one can help him, others still love him as always, but he can't accept it. It was not until Stallone came back and decided to protect the child again, save him and cheer him up, and it was really seeing Stallone coming back that Creed regained hope and confidence in life. The film expresses the inner emotions of the characters very delicately, and the actors work very hard. I can clearly see the true emotions of each of them, Creed's attachment, excitement, fear and firmness; Stallone's persistence , and through Creed, he gave him confidence to try something that he had not dared to try for a long time.
The film actually reflects the state of many people in our lives. In the face of the world, in the face of small achievements, do we just live in the opinions of others and settle down, or do we have to undergo a reborn transformation, so that we will always be Champion, after watching this movie, I hope that we will also regain our attitude towards life, be more determined to be ourselves, and be willing to give ourselves a reborn training for ourselves.
