The content of the whole film "Tekken" is simple and clear. It is a cliché story, but it clearly deduces the growth process of a father with a personality disorder who is dead and alive, which makes moviegoers resonate or reflect.
The male protagonist in the film is accurately a patient with personality disorder, which is caused by the lack of synchronized psychological growth of the (orphan) during the growth process. The obsession in the heart of a person with personality disorder has always been: "I can't", "I can't do it". They can't take responsibility, they can't make their own judgments, they think that all the problems in life have nothing to do with them, they don't want to take the initiative to take responsibility, they blame others or never face the problem, and they rely on the people around them to solve everything for them. If he encounters a stimulus, he instinctively thinks of force and reacts, which is easy to be provoked and hits the opponent's trap; everything related to himself depends on his wife to arrange and solve it; his wife and daughter regard him as a giant baby who is prone to anger, and serve him more and more carefully Although he looks like a muscular man and is also a father, his psychological reaction mechanism is very low-level and he has no emotional intelligence at all. Due to all these, his wife died unexpectedly in the end. Of course, after a series of painful blows, including blaming his wife's death on the driver who is also a bodyguard, drinking alcohol, nearly hitting himself with his car, committing suicide, temporarily losing custody of his daughter, etc., he finally died and lived. With the help of coaches and others, I gradually realized the root cause of my problems, corrected my unwillingness to take responsibility, recovered everything I lost through hard work, and grew into a man with "power" and a qualified father.
In addition, the daughter in the film shows precocious maturity different from her peers, which is also rooted in the so-called personality disorder father of the male protagonist. Failing to demonstrate the normal role of a father in the daughter's growth, resulting in the daughter taking the initiative to assume the role of a mother after her mother's death, this is a psychological reaction and behavior that a child of this age should not make, which is shocking, Sad and emotional.

    In fact, boxing movies are mostly a routine, nothing more than the "peak-under-peak-peak" model, and it is difficult to make a refreshing feeling. However, some directors can't make such a simple routine well. Just like this one, the plot progresses too fast, especially the trough period gives the impression of passing by. The audience's mental and emotional gap can only be applauded when they make a comeback.
