Film critics | broken wrist, how to achieve "Iron Fist Man"

"Iron Fist Man" is based on real people and real events. Boxer James Bullock was a boxing figure in the 1920s, but after age and wrist fractures, his career gradually went downhill. Unfortunately, the Great Depression was caught up, and all the investment industries were lost. He was unable to pay his bills, and his family even had to live on social assistance. Out of responsibility and responsibility for the family, but also out of the dignity of a man, Bullock decided to return to his old business, and through hard work, he finally ascended to the throne of the boxing champion. With his own pair of iron fists, he led his family out of the predicament and became one of the most exhilarating legends in the history of American sports. He gave hope to the then-languishing American people.

Boxing is a sporty genre that tests the director's skill, not only to make the boxing scene wonderful, but also to guide the audience's feelings to accumulate all the way to fullness, and then release it happily. American director Ron Howard abandoned the fancy technique, using almost simple shots and a single main line to show the panic and loneliness of the Great Depression. The restrained narrative and melodious melody are very moving. The details of fist to flesh are breathtaking.

Hollywood actor Russell Crowe, who played the male lead, won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2000 for "Gladiator", although he already has a huge "reputation", but in order to create a good "iron fist" image in the film, he has practiced hard for half a year and shaped his body shape into the standard of boxers. A week before filming began, Crowe even dislocated his shoulder from training to punch too hard. During the filming process, Crow was repeatedly hit by his opponent and suffered a concussion, and his teeth were broken. It is this valuable professionalism that makes this niche film stand out from many Hollywood commercial films.

There is no shortage of shining points in the film. For example, dad wants to challenge Bell, who brutally killed his opponent in the boxing ring, and when he leaves home, he says goodbye to his family one by one. First kissed the younger daughter deeply, and then kissed the second son, and when it was the eldest son's turn, he changed to the way of shaking hands, and here conveyed a message, that is, if I really had any accidents, you are the man in the family, take good care of your mother, take care of your younger siblings. When he finished shaking hands with the eldest son, the second son suddenly extended his palm to shake hands with his father, as if to say, Dad, you can go to the game with peace of mind, and I will bravely guard the family like my brother.

Boxing is brutal. In the duel with Bell, Bullock is almost about to give up, and at this moment, his mind flashes the shot of the wife of the deceased boxer Mike walking sadly through the cemetery... The delicate plot setting makes people sigh.

If you don't like boxing as a sport, you can enjoy "Iron Fist Man" as a film about love and hope. When people live, it is inevitable that they will experience ups and downs and setbacks. When bad luck ensues, you may fall into the trough of life, but as long as you are mentally relentless, you will eventually survive. A man, even if he is wounded all over, must shoulder the responsibility for the family; a man, as long as his faith is not extinguished, can feed his family through his own efforts and become the pillar of the family. Extraordinary courage can achieve extraordinary life, pay tribute to the iron fist man James Bullock.
