I just rewatched Real Steel and first of all I forgot how good that movie is and how I love it with all my heart
Second of all, ok I don’t know what’s got in my head recently but I couldn’t not think oh my god Charlie acts exactly like my dad Feng Xin
Yes, feng xin! Being ex boxer being a mess a failure an angry and impatient dick being a father to a son he does not want to know and does not want to take responsibility of because he is too deep into being a failure that he cannot let himself hope he deserves something in this life
And omg Mike! I probably need a separate rant about how cool that kid is and how perfectly scriptwriters got the modern kid attitude! So good I got jealous……I want cuo cuo to be like Mike, I want him to be cool, temperamental, smart (mother’s genes), witty, stubborn (oops dad here), I want him to constantly bump heads with feng xin and not swallow his shit because that is what this adult ass silly man needs for once in his life
And then I thought…..ok mu qing? Can I find my precious out there? Unfortunately, yes, I can, and no, it’s not Bailey (she sort of reminded me of Jian Lan A LOT but like….the mother should be dead by the plot so I have no idea what does that suppose to mean and I don’t want jl be dead tbh I love her). So yeah, when I saw Tak Mashido and his (exceptionally) pretty face and (exceptionally) arrogant attitude, temperamental issues and well big ass brain I just knew this is mu qing’s place in this story…….. they haven’t talked but I am not spoiling you the end and well
I would want to think how to make an underdog failure boxer with kid and miraculous robot interact with the genius engineer behind the world robox champion whom he obviously pisses off like big time
And if you read till the end but do not know what the heck is real steel go watch it! It’s robot boxing!!
