review. The background of Rocky 4 is the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. From the plot point of view, this is surprisingly similar to ≪Ip Man 2≫. An older man was beaten to death. All expectations are pinned on the new generation boxing champion, defeating a powerful opponent, and then giving a speech... If Rocky 4 is a Cold War mentality, then Ip Man 2 is also worse than it. Nothing less, the result score is higher than this...
In fact, judging from the film, this film is not entirely intended to belittle the Soviet Union. For example, in the first game, the Soviet boxing champion looked like a hillbilly who had never seen anything, while the American Apollo danced and provocatively there. If you don’t watch the previous plot, most people think that Apollo Killing was quite relieved. On the other hand, the spectators on both sides were very hostile. The two games were held in the United States and the Soviet Union, and the away players received the same boos and sorrows. At present, the quality of the audience in international fights in our country is the same as in the movies.) All the differences, it seems that there is no right or wrong, but an inevitable phenomenon in a special era.
From the perspective of boxing itself, this film is nothing but a strong sense of blow. It is too "heavy" for ordinary audiences, and it is too unrealistic for people who love boxing. However, what is highlighted here is the discussion of human nature. It is the Soviet attitude towards sports that is not human. What attitude? That is the nationwide system. As the movie said: Let our people defeat your so-called boxing champion is the best way to prove that your society is weak. But in the end, the Soviet boxing champion threw the director of sports who had come to teach him before the final round, raising his fist and shouting: I win for myself! Rocky finally said: I can change, you can change, everyone can change. The Cold War era has passed. Has our attitude towards sports changed?
