Classic but i don't like

The male protagonist’s simple, straightforward, irritable, and suspicious image was well portrayed, but he didn’t convince me in terms of character setting. His neurotic attention and suspicion of Vicky seemed to me without any behavioral logic. I don’t know it was to highlight the male character. The character of the main character is the great influence of the heroine on the male lead. It is difficult to empathize with the male protagonist. It may be that the shortcomings of the male protagonist are too much portrayed, and the performance of the advantages is not obvious enough. In my opinion, the failure of the male protagonist in the later period is just an inevitable tragedy created by his character. It did not make me think or think. Sad, the theme of salvation in religion is because I don't know enough about religion and I haven't got it.

The audiovisual language is great. The career line simply selected eight boxing matches for performance, and used different techniques. The long shots and the footage of the entry into the championship show how long the male lead has to wait. The combination of upgrades, close-ups and classical music in the later period implies that the male protagonist is dissatisfied with the controlled boxing career. The transitional waves in the middle are very fast and bring people into the fierce competition. The cross-editing of competition photos and colorful life fragments explains the plot directly and saves time. The whole is connected with music to maintain continuity. The antagonism between violence and classical music also weakens the element of violence and highlights the character and experience of the male protagonist. Of course, the black and white treatment also has the same effect. It also appears that the film has a documentary quality. The gradual progress of the love line uses a lot of audio-visual language and scene management skills. The shots of the early female protagonists were overhead shots, like prey being scrutinized by the male protagonist; the first conversation was separated by a barbed wire with a middle shot, the female high and the male low; the female squatted and the male stood on the first date; It is a classic model for the development of love.

It may take a few more times to see what is better.
