What's Real Man

This is the second film this year that terrified Ah Mao... The violence and blood at the beginning made me naturally think of the "Cat Abuse in Xiamen University" incident a while ago. Boxing, a sport with violence, blood, muscle and conflict as its main carrier, is like a mirror showing the darkest corners of human beings. It is presented to the public through sports competition. Listen to what those guys in the stands are shouting~ Kill him! Punch him in the head! SHIT! Depend on! . . . . . . . Watching them waving the wine bottles in their hands, the liquid splashed around boiled like the blood in their bodies. The raised fist slammed into the fighting contestant in the air, wishing to make his brain blossom.

Although the film tells us that the era of hand-to-hand combat in the modern boxing ring is over, the battlefield of robots has opened. They use the hands of manipulators to complete a steel confrontation that is stronger than humans. How tragic would that be? ! Sparks erupted from iron fist fights, green engine oil spilled from the gap in the broken arm, and the severed head hung high on the ceiling. This kind of perverted dazzling, advocating violence, and the arena where evil fighting is fun is like a portrayal of the current society!

The protagonist Kent in the film is extremely fond of this sport. When he retired from the stage of history as a boxer, he turned to be a robot boxer agent, and he never tired of it. After the first robot was scrapped, he bought an advanced combat robot NOISY BOY [noisy boy] with "the money from selling his son". He originally expected it to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that it would be beaten by Golden Fist in the first battle. Beheaded and die. In this episode, MAX [Kent's son] once said, you won't use it at all. I think that is understandable. On the surface, NOISY BOY is actually very powerful, but unfortunately it was used indiscriminately by a master who didn't understand it, and in the end, it could only be farted ahead of time. On the other hand, it can reflect the current phenomenon that the old and new generations mislead each other due to differences in life experience, values, etc. As an elder, it is natural for them to choose a life path for their younger sons by violence or other means, and encourage them to grow, which is likely to lead to their rebound or even premature death. The sacrifice in the film is a lifeless robot, which is scrapped, and the owner can remove its voice system and use it for his own use. In reality, when a life dies, it is irreversible.

The appearance of ATOM [Adam] symbolizes the birth of a new life, and it also becomes a catalyst for the bond between father and son. Many viewers will be moved by its cute appearance. Just imagine, didn't our children grow up by imitating adults to do things and speak? Think about what was the first lesson you taught him as a coach (parent)? In the play, through the hands of MAX, ATOM was rescued from the junkyard. He took it for a walk in the middle of the night, taught it to hug, and taught it to dance. This is a child's innocent romance, and it also shows us how much a child's inner world longs for the warmth of family affection and communication with heart. In the second half of the film, there will be many scenes of conversation between father and son. The son MAX speaks adult-like words, while the father Kent acts like a stubborn and irresponsible child. I don't know if such a scene will really appear in reality, but the film fully illustrates that many times as an adult, it is only physically mature, but my heart still hasn't grown up. Faced with all kinds of social setbacks and hardships, it is difficult to cope, so you can only choose to escape and degenerate.

In the final climax of the film, a confrontation with disparity in strength was arranged, Zeus VS sparring robot. Originally, there was not much suspense, but you must know that there are always miracles in this world. 我们可爱的ATOM在肯特教练的现场指导下,痛揍了伟大的战神宙斯。I believe that all the audience here will be as excited as A Mao, and they will be hooked after watching it. At the end of the game, the father and son not only won the praise of everyone, but also won the trust of each other, and the bridge of family affection was re-established. At that time, MAX cried, and KATE cried. It turns out that according to common sense, a cat should also take a few golden beans. But oddly enough, I didn't make much waves. Why? Because the establishment of family love has been soaked into the film bit by bit, gradually brewing in the relationship between the two, I have adapted to it, and I understand that it is about to mature and erupt at the right time. But the final breaking point, only when the point is reached, the film comes to an abrupt end. This made the long-brewed tears instantly do not know where to evaporate, so I felt very calm after watching it. It is worth mentioning that in the last picture, the father is carrying his son, and ATOM is standing next to him. The lights are down to illuminate the three figures. There seems to be an illusion of seeing the future, which is quite beautiful~ Then the white light slowly expands and expands, Video ENDING. . .

    I saw it at the time and thought it was okay to show it to parents, but the old couple were really enjoyable~~~ The child is so cute.

    A good movie, I am willing to give 10 points 1. The robot fighting scene is really enjoyable; 2. Dio Si's counterattack is very inspirational; 3. The emotional portrayal between father and son is subtle and touching; 4. Maybe the director did not expect this height, but I did think about this question: No matter how much AI develops, it will never compare to the human brain. Pursue technology, but not blindly
