By the time Hugh Jackman announced in 2017 that he would no longer play the role after the release of Wolverine 3: Deadly Battle, he had played Wolverine nine times in a row. With the role of Wolverine, who has super self-healing ability and maintained a muscle training body for more than ten years, Hugh Jackman's world-class tough guy superstar image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and tough guys also have warm moments.
Released on November 8, 2011 in Chinese mainland, "Iron Fist" is a tough guy warm science fiction movie produced by DreamWorks Pictures and distributed by Disney Pictures. The film was produced by Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, directed by Sean Levy, and co-starred Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goy, Evangeline Lily and Anthony McKay. The film revolves around a robotic boxing match in the futuristic world, telling the inspirational story of dreams and family affection after the father played by Hugh Jackman and the son played by Dakota Goyou. [One of the four kings of professional boxing in the 1980s, Schuger Ray Leonard, one of the four kings of professional boxing in the 1980s, with a career record of 36 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, served as the boxing action design of the film, ensuring the professional level of the film's boxing action. 】
In Iron Fist, Hugh Jackman plays Charlie, a top boxer who was once ranked second in the world but is now destitute. Because in the era of movies, boxing has been replaced by more powerful robot interbots, so Hugh Jackman has become a player who controls robot competitions. In this way, his previous boxing skills have no advantage at all, and he often loses to some rookies, including an opening and a bull fight, and the carelessness is ruined. In the film, Hugh Jackman's character is a standard tough guy setting, so hard that he focuses on his boxing career and ignores his family, eventually divorced, and has a son and an ex-wife. During the summer vacation when the son was eleven, the ex-wife died, and the custody of the son returned to him; the sister of the ex-wife wanted custody of his son, and her husband gave him a sum of money privately, but to temporarily entrust him with a summer vacation, so that the story between the two fathers and sons began.
Canadian child star Dakota Goyou played the son Max, not very old but small, very much personality and opinion, the first time he met his father asked him how much money he took, this money scored half of him. Although he did not like this frustrated father at first, after all, he was biological, and there was a natural attraction between them, attracting him to follow his father around and participate in competitions. The money Charlie got was not given to his son because he had already used it to buy a new robot, and the seemingly fierce robot lost one game. [Dakota Goyou, born in 1999, stood out from thousands of interviews, and after performing "Iron Fist", he also formed a deep relationship with Hugh Jackman born in 1968, and the father-son relationship they established in the play, which was more like two brothers, was extended beyond the play, and the two had a deep friendship that even Hugh Jackman's own son was jealous. 】
One rainy night, Charlie and his son wanted to go to a warehouse to get some parts, but the son accidentally slipped under the bridge. Like a Chinese martial arts novel, the child did not die after falling, but had an adventure, but instead of picking up the martial arts secret book, it found a scrapped little robot boxer. The robot was not only old and small, an obsolete product that had been eliminated, but also a sparring robot, but the son looked cute at him, insisted on picking it up, fixing it and training it to compete, and named it Atom Adam. I didn't expect that this humble little atom could really play, and the more he played, the better, helped the father and son win a lot of prize money, and also reached the final all the way, which completely changed the fate of the two and enhanced the feelings of estrangement between father and son.
"Iron Fist" is a science fiction action film, because the blood of boxing sports adds inspirational elements, and the wonderful robot boxing battle makes this film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, but the core of the whole film is the father-son relationship between Richard and Max. From strange to familiar, from diaphragm to mutual trust, the two finally fought side by side in the robot fighting field, winning the respect of the whole world and winning the warmest love between father and son. Hugh Jackman is an 188-year-old muscular macho figure, while Dakota Goyo was only a little over 10 years old at the time, and the huge gap in the size of the two people is even more cute, not to mention a robot of more than 2 meters; max an innocent puppy eye can instantly melt Charlie's original cold and hard heart. Miraculously, Max won every game he insisted on playing, and he feared that he would lose all the games, so Charlie, even though he thought his son's decision was unprofessional and risky, still gave in to the little look and agreed. After a summer vacation together, the two have changed from a big and a small pair to a real father and son.
Before the final match, Charlie was threatened by his former creditor on the sidelines, so he asked Max's aunt to come back and pick him up, because it would be dangerous to follow him. Max doesn't want to go, he wants to stay and play at least the last final, and he doesn't want to be separated from Charlie, he wants Charlie to fight for him. According to the convention of the movie, Charlie needs a process of changing his mind, he thinks about it, mentions support from his girlfriend, and then comes back to Max with sincerity and tells him "I get it!" ”。
In the end, the final battle is very exciting, from the host's introduction to the appearance, to the fight of each round, the tactical adjustment between the rounds, a total of 20 minutes to show, very shocking, but also very delicate and touching. In the last round, the atom voice control mode failed, max decided to use a faster visual imitation mode, by the boxer-turned dad himself to perform the punch, let the robot atom imitate his movements to fight, the result of the reverse. In the most exciting moment of counterattack, Charlie punched the sidelines, and Max danced with excitement next to him. There was a pause of tens of seconds in the middle, slowing down the movement, blocking the sound of the scene, and turning to the warm picture of max tearful eyes, the scene was quite emotional.
This combination of tough guys and cute children, the effect is really fantastic, as a commercial science fiction blockbuster, take the warm route, although the adventure but young and old can eat, the future of such movies will definitely have more. Stallone, who portrayed boxer Rocky and Special Forces Blue Wave, starred in 1987 'Flying Over the Top' is also such a theme, the same combination of muscular tough guy and little cute baby, Stallone plays a truck driver, and a wrist wrench player, and finally won the game on the field and won the family, the scene is very inspirational and touching.
[It is not surprising to think that the film's executive producer is Spielberg, and his science fiction classic "et" is such a subject matter representative.] 】
