Doing good deeds without asking for reward

Maybe many people regret that "I didn't meet that opportunity" when sweeping the floor and washing the dishes.

Opportunities are always bundled with dreams. How many people have dreams, but they always fail to meet their talents. Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it. Without Bole, the crowd could only be lost.

But if it were just chance and success, the movie would be a mainstream movie and not so straight to the point.

It just tells us that if there is an opportunity, we strive hard for our dreams, and even if we lose in the end, we can laugh at life and die without regrets.

Everyone will lose, the outcome is doomed, everyone will die, and the outcome is doomed. Because of this, it is even more necessary to release as much as you like in your limited life, do what you love, and live the way you like.

This movie is not an Acura of victory or a tribute to the underdog. In a way, it just expresses a spirit through boxing without any value judgment. Because life is not an inspirational novel, it is not an opportunity, and with hard work, there will be a bright future, and it may be like the heroine. has withered. Life is a face-to-face contest, you come and go, you punch and I dodge, find the right time, find weaknesses, and punch decisively to knock down the opponent. This contest will last a lifetime, and in the end, it may be difficult to win or lose, but at that time, who cares who wins or loses. Because in this process, you have won and lost.

If we can't give life a head-on blow for our love, then we may not be able to die without regrets in our whole life. It is better to be reckless and resplendent than to live a life indifferently and helplessly.

The ending of the movie is a natural reversal, but it is not a compromise. Just like the core of the story, boxing is a confrontation. When the attack comes, you have to face it, and the opponent will back down. Therefore, the heroine chose to commit suicide, not because of cowardice, but because she faced the blow of life, bravely faced it, mastered her own ending, and lived a free and easy life. People cheered for it, she has experienced glory, and she is still brave and firm.

Although she lost the game in the end, she played well and she has no regrets.

Leaving without regret is another kind of victory, isn't it?
