A steak

——This title comes from the novel "A Steak" of the same name by Jack London, and I would like to pay tribute to this novel with this article.

There is nothing to say about the plot of the movie, as always, just like some people commented that as soon as they appear on the stage, they know that the father and son will reconcile in the end. Adam will definitely defeat Zeus, and the male pig's feet will eventually win the beauties-but knowing that, the masses Still will plunge headlong into the color vision feast of Hollywood, happily dreaming of a daydream.

The scenes in the first part of the movie are lackluster, and the back is more colorful, especially the close-ups of the focused eyes of the women and children interspersed in the intense and exciting robot fight, one by one, is particularly moving.

I suddenly remembered Jack London’s novels that I had read before. This man was born in poverty (it is said that there is an autobiographical book "Martin Eden" from which you can see Jack’s growth trajectory, which is far away). As a boxer, the plot in the novel is delicate and true. For example, at the end of the movie, Adam was beaten up by a tall Zeus. The child yelled "do something!" The father steadily covered his head with his hand and smiled and said, " Not yet"
This is simply a reprint of the novel: at the

beginning of the third round, as always, on the one hand, Sandel took the initiative to attack and fought hard. After half a minute, Sandel was overconfident and revealed a neutral position. Jin's eyes and right arm were idle like lightning in that instant. This is his first real blow-a hook, twisting the arm into an arch, making the punch solid, and at the same time adding all the weight of the half-turned body to the blow . It was like a lion that seemed to be asleep, and suddenly stretched out its paws like lightning. Sandel took such a hit on one side of his jaw and fell down like a steer. The audience opened their mouths and applauded in surprise. After all, this guy doesn't have muscles hard, he can fly a punch like a hammer.
...
If you add his wisdom and Sandel's youth together, you can form a world heavyweight champion. But here is the problem, Sandel will never become a world champion. He lacks wisdom, and the only way he can obtain wisdom is to exchange it with youth; and when he has wisdom, youth is exhausted.

Young people always have a way.
—— "A Steak"

Regarding boxing, I also think of a Taiwanese idol movie I once watched in a cramped small video room in Xiamen. It is also called boxing. The shaking shots and the pungent coming from the toilet next door The smell of ammonia has been reverberating in memory.

The movie is good, the day when the blood also cools down, the rising youth will always defeat the declining old man.
