There have been many movies about boxers, often focusing on the mental journey of the boxer’s unremitting efforts to eventually become champions, but this film takes a different approach and outlines the growth history of boxer Rubin, focusing on his experience after being imprisoned , which is why he attracted me. The movie has an era background. Before and after the 1970s, the status of black people in the United States was still very low. Just like the little Rubin in the film when he was arrested, the police chief said, "Anyway, it's a nigger, do whatever you want." So even Rubin defending himself the white cops wouldn't believe it. At the age of 21, Rubin finally got out of prison. The hard training and serious study in prison made him a meaningful boxer, but he still couldn't get rid of racial discrimination. Threats, but he still won't give in. Until a murder happened, the police at that time blamed Rubin for the crime without serious verification. He was locked up after refusing to change into a prison uniform. At this time, two sides of his heart were fighting - violence. The weak side demanded that the problem be solved with fists, while the weak side looked pessimistically outside the iron bars and complained. As a professional boxer, he instinctively uses his fists to vent his anger, but he has read poetry and books and knows that he must rely on his own beliefs to solve fundamental problems. The ending of the story is perfect. In the end, he was acquitted, embraced his freedom again, and gained the respect of the world. Some people say that this film is not very realistic. Although it is based on real events, the protagonist of the story is obviously a lowly born athlete, but he always speaks philosophical words. This seems only possible for saints. I think a person can reach this state. First of all, he has read a lot of books, which first determines his ideological height, and when he has been in prison for 30 years, he has never succumbed to the system in prison-because he Didn't plead guilty, so didn't see himself as a prisoner, so even after all those years in prison he still kept his mind and style, he told the black kid who helped him "don't learn to adapt to this place, this place It's simply not human." And once you get used to it, you will be like the old cloth in "The Shawshank Redemption" who is not used to the outside world and eventually commits suicide. So the biggest significance of the whole film is not that Rubin has finally overturned the case, but that he has never compromised like injustice, starting from his first arrest at the age of 11, until he was released in his 50s, whether in terms of racial discrimination or justice In terms of justice, he has never compromised, and he has always fought for justice. People will remember him as a "Hurricane" who punched hard in the boxing ring, and will remember him as a fighter who fought hard for fairness and justice. The phrase on the movie poster sums it up nicely - "His greatest fight was for justice."
