If you are used to the positive roles that Wolverine has always played with responsibility in mind. Real Steel may be very uncomfortable. The film’s character, Charles Keaton, is at first a big, big scumbag. A desperate man who owes money and makes it by any means necessary. He has a child, Max, with his ex-girlfriend, and never carries out his custody obligations. When his ex-girlfriend died, the child was legally awarded to him, but he simply did not have the means or the energy to take care of it. It just so happens that the child’s aunt is well off and wants to raise the child, so Charles sells custody to the child’s aunt for $100,000. He is the child’s real father, but he actually sold the child like this, do you think he is scum? But Wolverine is really handsome in it. Sunglasses, cowboy hat, handsome. He’s even more handsome when he’s boxing. He’s even more handsome when he’s fighting. He’s even more handsome when he’s undressed and showing his flesh.

Real Steel is set in the year 2020, when human boxing has fallen from grace. It’s replaced by robots fighting each other, simply because it’s more exciting and gory. Charles used to be a boxer, and he was very clever to adapt to the times after the decline of human boxing. Now he takes trained robots to the ring and loses one after another until he is on the verge of losing his home. By chance, he and his son go to a warehouse of abandoned robots to look for parts they can use. Instead of bringing back many useful parts, Max picks up a second-generation robot, Atom, which appears to be in disrepair. Atom looks unimpressive and very small, and it’s rare that he has a memory mimicry function in him.

One of the most exciting aspects of the film is the transformation of live action into robotic cold-blooded combat. The blood splattered scenes are transformed into a fierce clash of metal, which is something else. It would be boring if the film was all robots. The most interesting thing about the film is the Atom’s memory mimicry, which has a silly, silly feel to it. He only mimics, he doesn’t have a mind of his own. He runs after Max, the young master, and doesn’t dodge obstacles, but only destroys them as he goes. The coolest thing is that he can dance.

Although Real Steel is mainly about robots, there is enough of a father-son bond to warm the heart. Charles goes from initially resisting raising his son to not being able to let go of Max, and Max himself develops from hating the dad to not being able to leave him. The audience has seen this trope a million times before, but Iron Fist does it in a way that makes you want to be trotted out. It doesn’t force a fairy tale round, let’s say something like in the end the aunt gives up custody and the father and son live happily ever after together. The truth is that following the well-clothed aunt’s family just leads to a privileged life.

I have seen many films about robots, but they are different and inspiring. When Atom’s voice control system breaks down and only the memory imitation function remains. Charles takes control of the Atom himself, relying on his former boxing experience. Who says human boxing is dead? It was humans who gave robot boxing its soul, and every punch Charles swings represents human intelligence and power. Humans made robots with the intention that machines could do many dangerous or difficult things in place of humans. They were designed to carry with them the infinite hopes of mankind. In the end, it is they who are fulfilling the dreams of mankind.
