It was still cold in winter when I was a child, but a certain brother always took cold showers. To this day, I still remember those details—he only took off a pair of boxers in the house, with a towel around his neck, walked to the door, and issued a message. With a low growl of "Hey! Ha!", he opened the door, walked to the open-air public faucet, turned on the faucet, and started taking a cold shower.
Once it snowed, he still took off only a pair of boxer pants. He still roared "Hey! Ha!" before pushing the door. A stone, smashed the faucet that had been frozen, and began to take a shower. .
In the eyes of me and my companions, a certain brother is a standard man, flawless and flawless. Even the "Hey! Ha!" had some kind of magic spell on it. In our opinion, this strange-sounding cry must be some kind of mysterious qigong practice. So, for several years, we would consciously or unintentionally make that weird "Hey! Ha" when we were fighting to increase the "killing power".
Soon, a certain brother was laid off and went to work in another place. It was rumored that he got married soon, but I never saw him again. It has been nearly ten years since we met again. A certain brother no longer looks so tall and has begun to gain weight. He has yellow teeth that smoke too much, his voice is still loud but hoarse, and he even wears a little bit of unwilling middle-aged people when he walks. of prudence. So, in my heart, this tough guy fell.
In my adolescence, the tough guys in my mind were a group of my peers. As soon as they entered junior high school, they began to learn to smoke, skip classes to watch Young and Dangerous and the God of Gamblers, and they even began to swoop in swastikas and called them the Eight Kings. In a small campus, they are obviously powerful people. They spit like "adults", swear swear words, and even walk with a faint arrogance.
At that time, I was envious of them and wanted to blend in with them, imagining them walking down the corridor with gloomy eyes. One of the Eight Kings was a playmate I grew up with. Once he had a conflict with someone from another school. I realized that this might be an opportunity. I went home and stole my grandfather's dagger when he joined the army, and told me Him: Call me when you're looking for that person to settle accounts.
He was a little surprised, but called me anyway, and that afternoon, on that basketball court, I imitated the way I thought tough guys would sit, spit, I tried to look like a veteran, I walked around, always It was "unintentionally" revealed that I was carrying a dagger. A lot of people were looking at me, and I was kind of complacent, and it took years to realize how stupid I looked at the time. Because of the mediation of the middleman, the fight finally didn't start. Later, the boss of the Eight King Kong borrowed my dagger and not surprisingly did not return it. I have never been integrated into them. After more than half a year, the Eight Great Kings became the Thirteen Taibaos. They even considered expanding to the Eighteen Arhats, and I was still outside this circle.
At the time, I was a little disappointed, but this tough guy woke up very quickly, but after more than a year, I began to be thankful that I didn't join them. Because it didn't take long for Young and Dangerous to fall out of fashion, and the former focus finally became "marginal figures". It's a pity that no one in the Eight King Kong became the "boss" but luckily, no one in the Eight King Kong finally went to prison.
Most of the King Kongs didn't finish high school, so I gradually became less and less in contact with them. I just heard some news about them one after another - my childhood friend opened a fast food restaurant with others, and was shot at the waist with a musket. The "little fat man" who had a big bowl of scars went to see the mining area. Donkey Kong was introduced to a coal mine in Shanxi. He didn't make any money soon after, so he returned to his hometown to get married and have children. Those once arrogant teenagers, those tough guys who shouted "I'm not yet fourteen years old, I won't be legally responsible for stabbing you to death" when they were fighting with the gangsters, have finally disappeared.
After that, I saw a lot of people as tough guys - Mel Gibson who shouted "freedom" was tough, Bruce Willis was tough, Brad Pitt was tough, The muscular and ruthless Schwarzenegger is a tough guy, and Jason Statham, who shoots fiercely, is of course a tough guy, and even the somewhat weak Edward Norton was once regarded as a tough guy by me because of his performance in fight club.
It's just that, by my side, it seems that even a tough guy can't be found.
Later, I don't even pay attention to the tough guys, and they seem to gradually lose the market - Schwarzenegger is governor, Bruce Willis is old, Eastwood finishes his last movie "Master". At 79 years old, Brad Pitt most of the time looks like a bizarre little white face. What? Stallone? Are you talking about the crazy pensioner who made Rocky 6 times and made 4 "First Blood" movies and announced that he was going to make "The Expendables 2" right after the box office success of his pension work "The Expendables"? ?
Yes, Lian Po is old, and he has to rely on Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets to eat.
Yes, tough guys are getting old, now everyone knows that pure men never look back when they blow up, my little three-year-old cousin knows this big guy on TV is the main character, and he's being beaten now to beat the villain better in the future .
Yes, we should keep pace with the times, what are we fighting for? That's what brainless savage people do. If you have something to say, you can convince people with morality. Why fight things that can be resolved by quarrel?
As a result, the vampires and Iron Man stood out, pale and thin with handsome faces, only relying on magical abilities and technology to fight, PK without messy hairstyles, and after the fight, a glass of 82-year-old mineral water in a straight suit, what is this called? It's called "tone".
I thought tough guys would go away with this trend, too, until I saw Mickey Rourke hold his dying heart with one last sledgehammer in The King of Wrestling.
This is a movie made for Mickey Rourke, 55-year-old Mickey Rourke, with that broken face, he is finally back.
Just like the protagonist in the movie with a broken family, unable to pay the rent, rejected by his daughter, and always wearing a ragged black dress with velvet. No one believes that this once young and handsome sexy idol will come to such a situation-he was a young man with alcohol abuse and drug abuse and frequent scandals of hurting people, and he forgot to return to Dustin who invited him to play "Rain Man". Hoffman's phone call, he turned down the role of "Silence of the Lambs", he threw Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" script aside, he took countless bad movies for money and eventually lost his role in Hollywood, where he made countless enemies a place.
What would have happened to Mickey Rourke if none of this had happened?
Yes, add a but after the if, and that's the most heartbreaking sentence in the world.
If, but. . . .
At the age of 35, he finally announced his return to boxing, only to withdraw from the bout due to nerve problems when he was only three fights away from winning the lightweight title. 4 years later, his daughter was gone, leaving only a battered face.
In order to make a living, he had to return to the film industry in 1995. No one accepted this once problematic character. Everyone was rejecting this unrecognizable face. It took him 13 years to return to this place. the center of the screen.
Yes, fate is like an invisible hand, giving us random roles that we don't like, and the weak fall into this. Ordinary people have to try their best to play this role, and tough guys, make this role look like it's measured for him Made by yourself.
The once downfall was turned into glory because of persistence. This period of time longer than death finally made Mickey Locke, who tried his best to get back to the starting point, so shocking.
I thought of Rocky again, the big man who only boxed because his brain was not good. He trained hard and seemed to be fearless, but he finally showed fear before the battle. He had no idea of victory. Confidence, just "I'm going to fight, I'm going to stick to 3 rounds, not for victory, just to prove that the road I have walked for more than ten years is not wrong, I am not a waste." He finally played 15 rounds , until he had to cut his eyelids with a blade to see things, just to prove that his life was not a joke.
A lot of times, I will regret that I always wanted to add the phrase "if this didn't happen" before those unsatisfactory things. Some say it represents a denial of their own life. Now, I will no longer think about whether this sentence is right or wrong, this is my own life, even if it is the wrong path, I will come back, and at the end, I can at least say one thing, I did not give up halfway, I am life at least has a beginning and an end.
