For "Tyson", Mike Tyson accepted more than 30 hours of interview. He hopes to see the other side behind his brilliance through this film-his true self
. He admitted that he was ruined by a woman, and he was still worried about his gonorrhea in the battle against Berbick; his only anger in the film was against the accuser who accused him of rape, saying that he would never trust anyone anymore. But when he recalled the short time with his mentor D'Amato again, he was so excited that he could not speak with tears in his eyes
.
In the film, Tyson said in an interview that he didn't know who he was. It sounds stupid, but it's really unexplainable. His life was alcohol, drugs, and parties, and then everything suddenly disappeared. Then, his life was filled with lawsuits, debts, and scandals. After his agent swept away a lot of his wealth, he also disappeared. Fortunately, two people who also appeared in the film began to help him clean the past.
One is Wenner, who took care of business affairs for boxing champion Ali at the age of 19; the other is Bingham, Ali's godson. The two helped Tyson with their sense of responsibility to help the old boxing champion. On the one hand, they applied for a tax refund because he did not actually get the $300 million; on the other hand, they re-promoted the Tyson brand.
Tyson told reporters when he was 19 that his goal in life is to "be rich, famous, and live a simple and peaceful life. It seems that if the money is gone, Tyson can do the remaining two things when he calms down

"Tyson" begins with a video clip taken on November 22, 1986. At the time, 20-year-old Tyson defeated Trevor Berbick to win the title of WBC heavyweight champion, and became the youngest boxer in history to win this honor. hand. At his peak, Tyson has achieved a legend in boxing with his dazzling fist and fierce fighting style. However, what is more deeply rooted is his chaotic life and villain image after becoming famous. In the 1986 game, Berbic, who was taller, stronger and older, was completely defeated before the end of the second round. Before the referee judged a technical knockdown, the indelible fear on Berbic’s face can be clearly seen in the slow motion of the video.
However, the focus of the director's review and discussion is the pain Tyson himself suffered, and all of this was caused by Tyson himself. Fear is obviously one of the themes of the film. Before a certain game, he kept repeating "I'm afraid" is a true portrayal of his mental state. The childhood memories of being bullied in Brooklyn have always been rooted in his heart. When describing his life endlessly, he appears moody and unorganized, although he has no shortage of thoughts. The audience can experience a deep sense of fear, which obviously has nothing to do with physical pain or personal honor.
In addition to coach and mentor Gus D'Amato, Tyson is full of distrust and suspicion in the world, which is why he always appears tough and ruthless in the eyes of others. In his opinion, most of the people around him are exploiters, manipulators or "leeches", but he has never claimed that he is superior to the former. In fact, boxing champion Tyson is just an ordinary person.
For most of the film, Tyson sits in a house near the Pacific Ocean and mumbles to the camera
