If anyone has ever thought that action movies can never create lasting emotions for viewers, Real Steel will prove that to be a completely wrong thought.
“If anyone has ever been a father, they will understand very well how difficult it is to be a father and how much it changes a person…” Perhaps this saying will be very appropriate in the case of Charlie Kenton – a martial artist. The heavyweight boxer passed away and from then on he became a careless person, greedy for money, without a family but only a lover and the thing he cared about most were the robot boxing tournaments of his time. His life – 2014.
And Max Kenton – a 7-year-old boy, has never known who his father is. Living with her mother since birth and growing up in the love of her aunt and uncle – rich people. Then when Max’s mother died in an accident, the boy learned about his father, Charlie Kenton.
Life pushed both fates so that Charlie Kenton had to become a father for a few weeks so that his aunt and uncle could enjoy their honeymoon in Italy and cede custody of Max to the boy’s aunt to get 100,000 USD (more than 2 billion VND). Vietnam) bought the legendary Noisy Boy robot. But Charlie didn’t expect that to be the thing that changed him so much.
Max made Charlie know one thing: “This world is not about having money and having everything, everything must be run with love.” It is true love that makes Max have faith in the second generation robot, Atom, which is strong enough to repair and train. It is this same love that makes Atom win over robots that are thousands of times stronger than him.
What stands out in the film is the father-son relationship between Charlie and Max. At first, the two looked at each other as strangers, but as things happened and went through, Charlie’s fatherly love was reborn. It helps him realize what life is, what family is and it has reoriented Charlie’s life – just being with his son Max is the best! It was Max who made Charlie never hesitate in the face of failure, but also motivated him to succeed.
People have to shudder at Hugh Jackman’s acting, thinking that he will not be able to successfully transform after action movie roles. But Hugh Jackman gave others goosebumps with his acting after having Max in Charlie’s life. It’s quite a change to go from a lost man to a mature man who needs to know what to do!
The film also creates excitement for the audience when they see Max playing with Atom. It reminds us of a time as pure as a mirror. At that time our faith was very strong and love was full in our hearts. If it weren’t for innocence and innocence, Atom would forever lie underground in a scrap metal yard. And it was Max who aroused in Charlie his love for boxing and his willingness to train Atom.
The movie may be set in a future far away from us, but the things the movie brings are very present. In a society full of competition, money cannot buy everything. The important thing is whether you dare to reach the final destination or not? The evidence is the scene where Max was ready to scream at Tak Mashido and Farra Lemcova when they intended to buy the Atom robot at an extremely high price so that the Zeus robot could practice. Unlike his father who intends to sell Atom, Max still maintains faith in himself and Atom, which has helped Max and Atom continuously win.
At the end of the movie, you may not be satisfied with the final result, but it’s a really good and realistic ending. Because in the world there can be very large and high-value prizes, but money can control and buy prizes. Meanwhile, “unnamed” awards with gifts of people’s trust will last forever.
It’s been a long time since the audience has seen an action movie but the psychological element is so good. Real Steel is truly a product invested in both quality and quantity, with technical elements that make viewers eye-catching and excited enough that the audience sitting in the theater is as excited as they are present. at that match.
Real Steel really knows how to please the audience with everything. One point ten for both the quality and the meaning that the film brings to the end of this year’s movie season!
