Boxing movies have always been more popular in European and American countries, but in China's most unpopular film genre, famous boxing movies have so many, there is no lack of Oscar affirmation of the masterpieces, such as "Rocky", "Angry Bull", "Fighter", "Million Dollar Baby", "Ali", etc., but the traditional Chinese Confucian culture and the influence of preciousness is deeply engraved in the hearts of every Chinese, the spread of Confucianism makes Chinese lack of a state of mind that everything must fight, China's traditional martial arts have gradually changed from the fierce and practical killing techniques when they were just invented to gymnastics sports based on fitness, not to mention that in the world, even in Asia, China's boxing and fighting sports are not first-class, and the boxing level of Thailand in the small Asian country is far beyond China, so it is not difficult to understand the ultra-low box office of the boxing theme of "Quiddi 2: Hero Rise" after its release in China.
Quidditch and Rocky
In fact, "Quiddi 2: Heroes Rise Again" is not a film that simply tells about boxing, and only watching this one, not watching the previous episode, not even watching the Rocky series can not understand the real content of this movie, the previous episode of "Quiddi" tells the life of Quiddi and the process of training and struggle, in the previous episode, Rocky suffered from cancer but still insisted on training for Quiddi, and in this part has focused on the people around Quiddi and his opponent Degora father and son, In the previous episode, Rocky's cancer situation was only used by Quiddi to ridicule Rocky's sparse hair line, if you have not seen the Rocky series, you can't figure out the origin of the characters in the movie, plus you haven't seen the first episode, if you don't understand a lot of plots, the sense of substitution will be worse, and the only second part that was released in China is the second one, which also causes the box office to be certainly not ideal.
The film tells the relationship between four fathers and sons or elders, the first pair of relationships is Quidi father and son, that is, the famous boxer Apollo and his son in Rocky; the second pair of relationships is Quiddi's opponent, from Russia's Degora father and son, the third pair of relationships is Quiddi and his newborn daughter, the fourth pair of relationships is the emotional line between Rocky and his son, in fact, there is a fifth father-son relationship in the movie, that is, the coach of the boxer Apollo in the Rocky series and his son who is also a coach.
Quiddi's rival, the Degora father and son
The film spends a lot of time describing various father-son relationships, family relationships, elderly relationships, after the inspiration and struggle of the first part, in this sequel, he encountered the difficulties of life that most people will encounter: setbacks in the process of struggle, emotional twists and turns, drag on family life, contradictory relationships with elders, etc. In the movie, Quiddi can finally solve all problems through boxing, which may be the reason why the movie is popular in the United States, this is because everyone, At least every man hopes to be able to solve all the problems in life simply through an ultimate means, and the film can only meet the expectations of most audiences in this way, in this sense, "Quiddi 2: The Hero Rises" is a qualified boxing movie, although it is not as good as the previous one, nor as good as the Rocky series classic, but from the audience's point of view, it is undoubtedly qualified, most viewers in real life encounter unsolvable problems, choose to see a boxing movie although it can not really solve the problem , but at least it can be released in the sensory stimulation of the film.
Family is the theme of this movie
At the end of the movie, Quaid begins to fight back, when the familiar and exciting Rocky theme music sounds, I believe that every man will be boiling with blood at this moment, and after finally defeating his opponent Degora, Rocky said a word to Quadi: "This is your time!" This sentence is meaningful, associated with Rocky who is suffering from cancer, and people can't help but sigh.
Perhaps, every man should watch a boxing movie in his lifetime...
