Weakened version of "Warrior" + "Million Dollar Baby"

To tell the truth, most sports-themed movies are very good, and the sports-themed boxing is the best of the best. A large part of the reason is because there are two boxing films that have a very high status in my heart, one is "Warrior" by Tang Laoshi, and the other is "Million Dollar Baby" by Grandpa Fuyuki. Both are playing family cards under the package of sports themes. God, Tang Laoshui broke his arm and was stubborn and stubborn to the point of death. In the end, he lost to his brother with the phrase "I love you." It's so touching. In the tragic ending of "Million Dollar Baby", Grandpa Fuyuki's sad final figure is even more poignant.

The shortcomings of this episode of Creed are obvious, and it is not as high as the previous two. The plot can be completely guessed for a long time. You know when you will be beaten violently, and the final duel is not unexpected, but it is in the "automatic drama Under the circumstance of "penetration", the scenes on the ring can still make people worry, which is quite successful.

But unfortunately, this one is really like the combination of "Warrior" + "Million Dollar Baby". It wants to tell more spiritual things, but it is not as deep as the first two.

First of all, the two boxers were born in the cloud, one is the champion of the boxing, the other has a feud and is down and down, much like the elder brother in "Warrior" who has been doted on since he was a child, but the younger brother is very lacking in family affection. But from this point of view, the depth of "Warrior" is slightly better.

Secondly, Stallone's character setting of "not a biological father is better than a father in a father", isn't it the same as "Million"? Creed seems to be the protagonist, but the actual spiritual core is all on Stallone's role. Like the role of Fuyuki in "Million". (These two old actors are really two clever ghosts)

Then there is, in the end, Creed was broken rib, but the paragraph of insisting on the game is also very similar but obviously not as good as Tang Laoshui's broken arm in "Warrior", which is disturbing and distorted. Maybe it's because I, Tang Laoshi, acted really well, or maybe it's because "Creed" didn't portray the plot well enough.

The ultimate regret. The portrayal and foreshadowing of the two characters in "Warrior" is really profound, especially the line of Tang Laoshui. But this episode of "Creed" has a lot to do with the psychological portrayal of the villain Maozi Boxer, but it has been taken too hastily, and most of the space is spent on the unexpected character change of Creed's line, but the most, most, most, most What confuses me is that I have spent so much time writing, but it doesn't make me feel how successful Creed has been. Let's talk about inspiration. , The birth of the daughter is also weak. Let's talk about love. Then his wife also said something that cheered him up and made me remember it? So that leaves me scratching my head, as Creed himself pursues in the film, what the hell is he fighting for?

It may be that the storyteller wants to talk about everything, but they are all about it, so it is not outstanding; it is also possible that I did not understand it and did not get the essence of Creed.

But in general, for a sports fan, it's still a very good movie, and the look and feel of punching to the flesh is also very good. After watching it, I immediately wanted to make up all the Rocky series.
