Since "Gladiator", Russell Crowe has always given me the image of a tough guy full of responsibility and perseverance. The image of Xaar as a scientist in it really makes me uncomfortable. In "Tekken Man", Russell still played his best role, a once glorious boxer, slowly showing the trend of being an old man, was finally abandoned by the greedy merchants, and then returned during the Great Depression. , Miraculously achieved more brilliant results. It should be said that the main process of this film is still in accordance with the traditional boxing-themed film. There are also indispensable elements such as a tenacious boxer and his arrogant opponent, a frightened wife, a greedy businessman, a sensational reporter, and an excited audience. The special thing about this film is that it puts the background in the Great Depression. If other boxing films are showing the personal qualities of fighters, then this film shows the so-called American spirit through Jim Bullock. This more sensational carrier.
When Jim Bullock was named the Gray Boy before the final battle, when he was regarded as a spiritual idol by the trapped American civilians, when people who did not know each other prayed for him in church, when he was boxing When the audience chanted his name, the ending of the boxing match could be imagined. The director is not going to make a critical film, so Jim Block, who carries the American spirit, must win. However, when he was exhausted before sending the final blow on the boxing ring and his vision blurred, I suddenly thought of the final battle of "Gladiator" in the gladiatorial arena, but Bullock did not win like the defeated generals of "Gladiator". In the overall situation, he sacrificed himself, a beautiful curtain call amidst very sensational cheers. Although I prefer tragic endings, after the previous description of the tragedy of the Great Depression, I am still excited by a spiritual victory. I have seen vivid descriptions of the Great Depression in "Glory and Dreams". I know how much people need to be inspired by an inspiring spirit. Jim Bullock brought them this spirit. This iron fist man is admirable.
Several actors in the film are good. Russell Crowe is very familiar with such roles, especially in the most down-and-out period, but he did not know that he was very temperamental in life. He showed forbearance in Brock films. Did you lose some strength when you were gentle? Let Renee Zellweger play the role of Bullock’s wife. She is definitely the right person. She is not a beautiful woman. In the film, a woman who loves her family and is worried about her husband is played very well. This looks a bit rough with Russell. His partner appears to be very civilian and can better reflect the director's intentions. It is impossible to imagine the effect of such a film with stunning actors like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
It’s often said that it’s nothing to find out about the artistic and ideological issues of Hollywood blockbuster entertainment, but after all, there was a critically acclaimed Oscar film "Million Dollar Baby" shortly before "Tekken Man", so it is inevitable. Compare them. It should be said that the two films have different backgrounds and different goals, so there seems to be nothing comparable. In my opinion, "Tekken Man" is more about expressing spirit and more inspirational elements; "Million Dollar Baby" is more about expressing Human nature is more critical. The actors in both films performed well, but the actors in "Million Dollar Baby" were more sophisticated. Russell didn't show much of his charming magnetic voice this time, but in "Million Dollar Baby", Morgan Freeman showed a more mature and steady narrative with a magnetic voice. In the boxing scene, "Tekken Man" is more exciting and sensational, especially the final battle is extremely sensational. Personally, I prefer "Million Dollar Baby", which brings me more things worth thinking about, but it feels a little heavier. "Tekken Man" is even more enjoyable. Russell once again successfully played the image of a real man. This man used his experience in the most difficult period to tell us that people will be depressed in the most difficult moments. , There will be humiliation, but please hold your fist tightly, face it all firmly, and at the critical moment, bravely throw a powerful punch to the oncoming predicament.
