The actor Hugh Jackman said, "In my career, I have always wanted to participate in a movie like "Rocky", "Chariot of Fire", "Death Poetry Society", and they all treat me The growth of the movie had a profound impact. Those movies gave me inspiration, made me jump up from my seat and applauded, and made me laugh and moved me. This movie made my dream come true.” This description probably said a little bit of "Steel Armored Steel" The core of the story of Fist.
Hugh Jackman also said: "I like the script of the film very much, because this is not a science fiction film focused on action and fighting. On a broader level, it is a family drama. I played Charlie. · Kenton was a loser, but under the encouragement of his son and his own inner desire, he stood up again and became a pure and outstanding boxing coach and a real good father. This kind of character Transformation is my favorite content, and the kind of interaction and encouragement between relatives and friends between him and his son is also the essence of this movie."
If you don’t understand from Hugh Jackman’s description of Shanghai, then say Let’s take a look at what the director of the film, Sean Levy, said, “Although this is a boxing-themed movie, the proportion of boxing in the film is only a little, and there are only a few scenes of robot competitions. I spent 70 % Of the time and space to introduce the relationship between the two fathers and sons, because their relationship and the inspirational elements played by Hugh Jackman that Charlie emerged from the trough of life are the focus of the film." The guidance of this kind of thinking Next, Sean Levy did not shoot the film as a dark, depressive robot boxing scene, but instead used a thought of shooting for emotions to shoot an upward and moving father-son scene. He said: "A lot of people think this is a simple robot science fiction film or a boxing scene. If you think so, it's all wrong. In fact, this is a film about the relationship between father and son, based on human emotions and A feature film that changes to the theme. It is precisely because of these emotional elements that this film will appear to be different from ordinary science fiction films."
If you look at Sean Levy’s resume again, you will find that his most famous movie is "A Wonderful Night at the Museum". In the first part of this series, in fact, Sean Levy's interpretation of the relationship between father and son Trick. Under the shell of comedy, it is the interpretation of how a downhearted father can restore his image, step by step, hold his head up in front of his son. After watching "Steel Fist", you will find that this mode is almost interpreted again. It's just that this time it was a somewhat magical background that happened in the museum, and this time it was a futuristic background such as robotic boxing.
Although it may seem clichéd, a good director has the ability to guide cliché stories. Like "Avatar" is such a model, the core of its story is actually very simple, it is to attack the big with the weak against the strong, and it also needs an external savior. Of course, Sean Levy can't be compared with Kashen, but he cleverly used the magical museum and the incredible background of the future robot boxing match, and then put a very clichéd story into it, and then he succeeded. "Steel Fist" is actually very good. Of course, how to watch sci-fi movies with an iron heart will be somewhat disappointing.
This is basically a combination of "Rocky" + "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", the underdog in "Rocky" accepts the task of the invincible first person in boxing under almost impossible circumstances. , He actually won. The father in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", when he fails, he can only go to the station toilet to stay in, and then rise tenaciously for his son. The same is true in "Steel Fist". In an impossible task, the silent robot Adam, led by Charlie and his son, stubbornly challenged the invincible robot God of War. Originally, I thought I would be like Rocky, with a surprise victory. In fact, the end here is based on the result, Adam failed. However, after defeating the battlefield, winning the hearts of the people, invincible and victorious, become a true victor.
