Watched it for Grandpa!

Because of the "Phenomenal" and the ending song "Kings never die" sung by Mr. Mu, they are actually quite good. I originally wanted to give three stars, but one more star is for Mr. Mu's help song. Haha~ Actually, I saw it on Wikipedia. What I said is that I originally wanted to invite Eminem to play, but then Eminem declined politely and made some contributions by singing film and television songs. The director said that the film is actually a sequel to "8 miles", which also uses boxing as a metaphor. In fact, I also felt this way when I watched it. I saw that there are many shadows of Eminem in the male protagonist. For example, he had drug addiction problems, lost his wife, and finally cheered up and struggled for his daughter. They all fell from the peak and then climbed again. Get up, and finally make a comeback to win everyone's respect. After watching this film, I even feel that the metaphor is better. After all, the visual effect of boxing is more obvious and intuitive. And treat this movie as a sequel to "8 miles", I love this movie even more~

If you put aside the music, the plot of the entire movie is indeed a bit flawed. The plot is old-fashioned, and it belongs to the inspirational film where you can guess the ending when you see the beginning. The acting skills of the actors are remarkable, and the male lead is really handsome! The daughter's acting skills are also good, but after the daughter separated from her father, the daughter did not want to see the male protagonist several times at first, and later did not clearly explain the reason. The barrage said that the daughter was deliberately trying to cheer up her father, which was a bit far-fetched. I think maybe the daughter still blames her father in her heart, or the little girl's friends in the family supervision center may have said some bad things about her father to her, making her feel ashamed or something. Later, the daughter figured it out on her own and met her father again.

In fact, the plot is very simple, but I didn't feel too procrastinated when reading the story, which is also the director's credit. The new coach is very good. When training the male lead, he is full of aura. I want to be trained by him haha~! !

I also want to practice my boxing well and strive to reach a level where I can fight!
