Most movies about dreams, the protagonists of waste wood, tend to fight back in the end.
Whenever he saw this ending, the crow would always smile: art is ideal, life is realistic.
Until this one, the protagonist, has been losing from beginning to end.
Even the title of the movie exudes a melancholy atmosphere.
It's not bloody, it's not sensational, it's not inspirational, but it's real: Blue.
Tokyo, Japan.
Gua Tian, a professional boxer, earns a living as a teaching assistant in a boxing gym.
He has been in the industry for many years and has been the latest person in the boxing gym, training to the latest.
After work late at night, walking on a dark road, I will swing my fist and think about the action.
But such a hard-working player has repeatedly lost...
Even a newcomer who debuted at the age of 30 can easily defeat him.
In stark contrast is his hair, Ogawa, a talented player.
Fight all the way to the Japanese Championship.
Even the new rookie chicken from the boxing gym, Kushizaki, seems to be more promising than Guatian...
Right now, all three of them are facing an important boxing match.
And this game will determine the future direction of their lives...
The movie "Blue" was released in Japan in 2021, and Douban scored 7.2 points.
Netizen comments: Mourning and burning and crying. The love that does not stop because of repeated failures is so moving.
Some people say: a natural good work, jumping but not excited, light but not superficial, abandoning the clichéd blood counterattack route, telling a story of five tastes and miscellaneous tastes.
The film lineup is quite strong.
Kanda is played by Kenichi Matsuyama, a well-known Japanese entertainer.
With the "L" in "Death Note", it became popular all over Asia, and because of "Norwegian Forest", it was well known to domestic audiences.
In this play, he contributed to the acting skills of the film emperor, integrating Guatian's restrained and restrained personality into the performance without a trace.

The name of the movie, "Blue", refers to the boxing championship, the champion is the red side, the challenger is the blue side.
In English, blue means melancholy and depressed.
It's a film about the frustrated.
The style of the film, the overall bias towards the temperament of life flow, is not urgent, not slow, not hurried or slow.
The plot design is not strong, but the overall viewing experience is very smooth.
As a boxing group portrait scene, the film uses a perspective that is rare in the past, focusing on the "loser".
Gua Tian, in his career, won two and lost ten, is a player who has been standing on the blue side for many years.
He is very passionate about boxing and can quickly adjust his mentality even if he loses a game.
When his friend tried to comfort him, he would in turn amuse his friend: You are so lucky to see me so pompous wrestling.
He is very patient with his juniors and is willing to guide and accompany them meticulously.
After Kaizaki was frustrated by the fight, it was his encouragement and comfort that made Kaizaki regain confidence.
And the dirty work that no one in the boxing gym was willing to do was all taken care of by himself.
He would carefully analyze each game and write a thick pile of notes.
He excels at tactical coaching and sparring.
Even Ogawa, a talented player, had to discuss the game strategy with him before the game.
However, no matter how hard he tried, how serious, how enthusiastic, whenever he stood on the field, he was always easily defeated.
In the eyes of ordinary people, losing games one after another is a veritable "loser".
The coach didn't blame him, but the disappointment was palpable.
The younger generation looked down on him: I didn't want to learn to box with the losers.
Outsiders advised him: I heard that you have been losing, and you are not small, so hurry up and change jobs.
For the doubts and denials of the outside world, he always silently endured...
Kashizaki is another level of "loser".
His appearance is not proud, he is timid and weak, his parents are dead, and he is dependent on his grandmother.
I learn boxing in order to please the girls I like.
But later, he saw the other person with his own eyes and threw himself into the arms of a handsome male colleague.
At first, Uchisaki only wanted to learn some flower fist embroidery legs, so that he could play in front of the girls he liked.
With the encouragement of the coach and Guatian, he began to fight.
Although I lost without a doubt, I found a sense of accomplishment in boxing.
When he passed the professional boxer exam and defeated his opponents who often taunted him, he got rid of cowardice.
When his crush ends, he sees boxing as the only light left in his life.
But he is not the Jack Sue in the cool text, there is no protagonist aura, and he has not changed his life against the sky.
In the face of a strong opponent, he will still lose.
When he was beaten so badly that he was almost about to give up, he remembered Gua Tian's guidance.
He got back on his feet and played a hearty game according to the strategy taught by Gua Tian.
The game was lost without suspense, but he smiled contentedly after the game.
Although he didn't have the strength to turn the tide, at least he played hard and lost decently.
We always say that the process is more important than the result.
But how many people can really look down on the results?
Before his debut, he told his grandmother: I really want to win.
Yeah, who doesn't want to win?
Life is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten.
How I hope to win a show in my ordinary life, enjoy the flowers and applause.
But if there is only one champion destined, how should the rest of the people face it?
Just as there are very few people standing at the top of the pyramid, there are more in this world than ordinary people.
At the end of the film, Gua Tian retires and works as a porter in a seafood warehouse.
Kashizaki lost the game and continued to be a rookie.
After Ogawa won the championship, he was banned from participating in the competition because of boxer encephalopathy syndrome.
Perhaps, their lives, in the eyes of outsiders, will be labeled as "failure".
But they are still self-disciplined, get up early to exercise, run, and seize all their free time to swing and practice boxing.
What is lost, how to win, what is important is that the heart that loves never stops.
Just like the japanese drama that was popular a while ago, the sentence in "Soybean Field Nagako and Three Ex-Husbands": Life will encounter failures, but there is no failure in life.
A person who loves life should not be called a loser.
