Don't know what you got til' it's gone

The title is a soundtrack in the film, from the 1980s American pop star group "Cinderella". Hearing this song again after many years feels like an old male protagonist lying in bed alone looking at the poster of his former majesty in boxing, familiar but far away.

The protagonist, the old wrestling king "Sledgehammer", said that he loved the 80s, there were Guns and Roses in the 80s, Dave Lampard, Motley Crewe, "until the sissy Cobain appeared in the 90s, Everything was ruined. Everything was bad in the 90s." It

is not surprising to say that, because the 80s was his golden age, when he won countless championships and honors, and his young and powerful body allowed him to conquer everything, But now, he is old and needs to live with hearing aids, and he needs to rely on drugs to relieve his pain. When he is lonely, he can only go to a familiar stripper for emotional comfort. Due to heart problems, he is no longer fit to stand in the ring because of his old age.

Clapton has a song called, Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out. Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves will always die on the beach. A famous lead singer of Chinese rock once said: "The world always belongs to the latecomers, and we will eventually become paving stones or stumbling blocks." No matter what you do, there will always be a day when you can't do it. One day, when you are really dying and can't bring anything to the people around you, who will remember you?

Sledgehammer hates the 1990s because he can't face the kind of life without a sense of existence. Let him sell meat in the supermarket while looking at the face of the supervisor who studies adult movies in the office. It's better to let him fight happily. Die in the ring, because his heart only belongs there.

Oscar did not award the award to Mickey Rourke in the end, but to Sean Penn. Many people who liked this film feel sorry for Lao Mi. What do you regret? The Oscars are for acting, has Mickey "acted"?


(In addition to Sweet Child O Mine, I also heard Ratt's Round And Round, Accept's Balls To The Wall these metal famous songs, very exciting).
