It was a little late when I entered the arena, and I squeezed into the crowd to find a place to sit down. On the screen, the robot was being unloaded by the bulls and beaten up and down. The harsh metal impact sound effects, Jackman's constant expression for years, the trough of life and the routine of the rivers and lakes afterwards, I thought to myself, it is probably another fast-food Hollywood movie, well, I should buy some popcorn.
Next, I should write, "This movie proved me wrong", but unfortunately no. This is indeed a fast-food Hollywood work, but I still want to talk about the possibility of this movie, after all, even if it is an explosion There are also various ways to eat rice.
When Zeus is on the stage, even those with little movie-watching experience should know that this is the final boss of the film, and they must know that it will inevitably be stepped on by our protagonist, and the process is nothing more than the cooperation of father and son. Mutual trust, inspiration, the old way of Jedi counterattack. Rather than saying that this is a program, it is better to say that this is the greatest advantage of a complete film system. Hollywood allows audiences to have expectations and satisfies them impartially. This is the secret of its longevity. But for a moment, when Jackman stood in front of the door and apologized to his son, I thought this film would turn to another possibility of father-son relationship. What if Adam loses and is killed by Zeus in a single shot in the ring, with no power to parry, what will happen? After all, this result is more convincing, both in terms of reality and the comparison of strength in the film. If Adam loses, the movie is not impossible to end, and Hollywood does not always need a reunion and justice over evil.
But this is not just an action movie of robot shopping. The re-emergence of the former boxer played by Jackman is a more realistic and inspirational plot. As the inertia of almost professional habits, I like to speculate on the possibility of plot trends. When Jackman and his son were reconciled as before, I thought to myself, maybe Adam would lose, and as compensation, he would reshape the heroic role of the father. This is not bad either. But obviously the director did not deliberately exaggerate this sentiment, and chose to take it without salt. At the side of the ring, Max and his girlfriend watched the once depressed man throw a beautiful uppercut again. It was indeed true. Completed the stitching of this psychological deficiency.
In a sense, Charlie, Max, and Adam are actually the same role psychologically, abandoned (as boxers, sons, and robots), not recognized, and stubborn. When Adam finally imitated Charlie in the ring and played every action, Max also waved his arms in the audience. Are these three the same? They are actually three levels of men: unfettered and inexperienced children (Max), responsible but haggard father (Charlie), and stubborn husband (Adam) who resists pressure. This is iron to iron. War is real steel, bursts and screams of men. A man is just a piece of iron. It may be abandoned, defeated, left out, buried under sand and rock, but one day they will always return to the ring, look at Wu Hook, hold the long knife tightly, blood flow five steps, horizontally He can't be silent forever after a corpse.
At the end of the movie, Max said to Charlie the same thing he had said to Adam, "I will keep your secret." This secret is actually the side of a man that is difficult to see himself, fragile, degraded, and vulnerable. In another ten or fifteen years, Max will also understand this, and he will understand why Charlie and Adam are standing in this ring today. In this sense, behind this passion and struggle is the forging and tempering of men, the cruelty of making steel into steel.
However, one hundred steel-making, one day will be soft and soft, Xiao Zhengtai will also be a husband and a father, will also carry family responsibilities and failures and frustrations, at that day, I hope he can still hit the winning punch. , And behind the tough one, he can gently hold up the childish child.
