American spirit is actually very good

I watched the 2005 film "Tekken Man" on the movie channel two days ago. When I watched it, I thought that the digital signal is better than that of the antenna satellite. The movie on the movie channel is much cooler than before.
Let me first say that this is a good film. Both Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger played very well. I have to say that the choice of these two actors is very much based on the director’s skill. Sear Crowe is very suitable for shooting this kind of perfect man who is capable, responsible and restrained. A boxer who struggled to support his family in the depression era became the champion of boxing. Think about "Gladiator" again, the soul of the general. , The status of a slave is also a setting that makes people excited. If you can say someone who can interpret the demeanor of the king while interpreting the ordinary in place, except for Crow, I really can't think of anyone for a while.
However, this film’s director Ron Howard and Crowder have collaborated not for the first time. The last time "Beautiful Mind" was very successful. Crow's dual personality mathematician is very interesting and proves that he is not only He can only act as a tough guy and become a gold medalist.
This film has a perfect ending with a very American spirit. Unlike "Gladiator", it is not a tragic ending, because first of all, this is a story of real people and real things changing. The protagonist of the story indeed became the champion of the boxing in the end. ; Secondly, because this is an inspiring story during the Great Depression in the United States, it is tragic that it cannot meet this need. Although I think the tragic ending is actually more profound and more touching than the perfect ending, I have to admit that on a certain level, the American spirit is actually very good. Although it seems unreal, it also seems a little naive, but at the same time it is closer. The real dream of mankind.
Crowe had a line in the movie, the reporter asked him why he should return the government's relief funds. He said: Because I have been more lucky recently and have a better economic foundation, my country has helped me in times of difficulty. , And now I have the ability to repay, I believe that my country can lead us out of the predicament. To be honest, when I watched this segment, I didn't feel hypocritical at all. I am looking forward to a country where people can trust so much. This is compared with the fragment of the sausage he returned to the child with his child. Although they are describing the integrity of the protagonist, the former is even more expounding a spirit, the fearless spirit of not compromising and not giving up in the face of difficulties and loss. , Firmly believe in the optimistic spirit of the future, the American spirit, this spirit may be too simple and naive, as simple as the protagonist said: "Fight for milk", but it may also be closer to the real dream.
This is an era lacking heroes, and even many people think heroes are boring. In this era when cynicism is spreading more and more widely, a hero can be more or less exciting.
This film does not have too deep truth, nor sharp criticism. It is just a description of a man who has risen in adversity, an inspiring hero in a difficult age. Although it is a boxing-themed movie with "Million Dollar Baby", it is almost incomparable. I personally think it is quite good, especially the scenes of the boxing match are shot very well and the shots are tightly handled. Recommend to friends you like.
