Content introduction:
Keith, an American, lost his parents and was abandoned when he was young. When he grew up, he became a good friend of street children. Once, he fought bravely with the police in the street. When he was chased, he escaped into a foreign cargo ship and was forced to serve there. Occasionally rescued by pirates such as Des, he was tricked into selling to Mattel for boxing training, because the owner of the island wanted to train him as a boxer for profit.
Once, Des and Newton, a female reporter from an American newspaper, came to Mattel to watch a boxing match, but they happened to meet Keith. Keith, who has considerable strength, asked Des to help him go to the lost city where an international competition is being held, and got the golden dragon representing the winner. Des, who took a fancy to the value of the golden dragon, readily agreed. So, they set off with Newton, a female reporter, and Max, the deceived American boxing champion, and took the invitation letter of the international boxing match to the lost city map. ...
After a sudden encounter, Max saw Keith's strength and gave him the invitation and map. So Keith pretended to be Max and entered the Lost City with his companions. Before the game, Max also came to the Lost City and gave Keith a golden belt. The host announced that if Keith didn't win the championship, he would never leave the lost city.
The competition began, and warriors from all over the world competed in pairs. Encouraged by Max, Keith won the first battle. In the second round, Gao's apprentice Fan unfortunately died at the hands of crazy Mongols, which made Keith very angry. In the process of carrying Jinlong, he ignored Des's suggestion and deliberately gave up to save his strength and defeated his opponent again. Greedy Des tried to steal the golden dragon, but he was caught. When he was about to be killed, the kind Keith offered to let Des go if he won, and his request not to have Jinlong was approved by the Lord of the Lost City.
After a hard struggle, the scarred Keith finally defeated the arrogant Mongols in the final, while Keith, who won the title of the greatest fighter in Lost City, returned to the United States to save those poor street children regardless of fame and fortune. ...
Boxing World (Analysis)
The film Boxing World uses flashback to express the content and plot, and tells the story of Keith, an American civilian, who accidentally became an excellent boxer.
The plot of the film is not tortuous, but with pirates, boxing island, mysterious lost city of Tibet and strong oriental regional color, it adds a little legend and adventure to the film. In this case, the film focuses on shaping the image of Keith. He was abandoned when he was a child because his parents died young. Growing up in a sea of misery, he is naturally sympathetic to the weak and fearless of difficulties and powerful opponents. He helps oppressed street children, often humiliates the rich, and occasionally challenges hypocritical policemen. So he escaped into a foreign freighter in a round-up and started a new life. Being sold by pirates, he became a boxer and stood out because of his tough character and unyielding challenge spirit. He is not satisfied with the victory in a small circle, but is bent on getting the lost city "Golden Dragon" which represents the supreme boxing. Unlike others, he is not interested in the gold on the golden dragon, nor will he engage in vicious conspiracy. He only relies on firm belief and tenacious fighting spirit. In the cruel competition, he always maintained his precious spirit. He fought against a crazy and powerful opponent, but he took back the iron fist that was about to be issued to the weak in the ring. Keith embodies the invincible theme of Iron Man in American movies, but the film deliberately avoids Schwarzenegger's modern fierce fighting and adopts ancient mysterious plot content. Old wine and new bottle, with good intentions.
Of course, this film not only gives people a kind of spiritual encouragement, but also mainly lies in the psychological stimulation brought by the fierce fighting scenes, which are similar to the "street fighter" fighting scenes in video games and undoubtedly serve the commercial nature of the film.
