Passion.

You can recognize passion when you see one.

When the Real Steel movie was out, I went to watch it with some friends.


The basic reason why I went to watch that movie was of course because Hugh Jackman is the leading role. (oh gosh, he’s one of the sexiest men alive).


And when the movie rolled, it was beyond my expectation. It was truly the first movie that almost made me stood on my feet cheering at the scene and gave a standing ovation ( it’s so hard to keep myself cool during the time).


Other than the fact that Hugh Jackman does have very sexy ass (oh women, you should look at the scene where he wore his training suit and trained with the robot) and Dakota Goyo as the future heart-throb, the movie carries a positive value about family, trust and how you should believe in yourself. More than that, the movie also speaks about PASSION.


Charles Kenton (Jackman) used to be a boxer, known for his persistence in not giving up. Later in the future, people change the traditional boxing match from a match between two humans into a match between two fighting robots controlled by humans. Shifting into the new culture, Charles or Charlie became the human who control the robot to fight and for most of the time, he sucked.


One day, he got news that he actually had a son with his former girlfriend. Max Kenton (Goyo), an 11 years old boy lost his mother because of an illness and being fought over the custody rights by his aunt. Charlie gave up his right as Max’s father and handed over the custody rights to his aunt and using a given situation where Max’s uncle and aunt need to go on vacation, Charlie took the advantage by asking some money from the uncle to take care of Max during their vacation.


That’s where their story as father and son began.


I’m not going to write the whole review here, you can find it on the internet or just watch the movie yourself. But the point that I want to share here, is this...in the end of the movie, we would find that the father and son fought against the best fighting robot in the world. their robot which was smaller and also an older generation of robot got beaten up real bad that it’s lost its voice recognition function used to control it, so the only way to survive and continued the battle was to use it’s shadow function. Shadow function was a function that enabled the robot to imitate any movement that he saw, first he would need to see your face and then he would imitate whatever moves you make. In this case, it means Charlie would really need to box in order for the robot to imitate his movements and fought against the best fighting robot.


Seeing his dad boxing in excitement and passion during the match, Max cried, Charlie’s girlfriend cried and the viewers also cried (well, if not, at least i did). That moment something instantly hit me in the head.

PASSION is a diehard thing. It sticks with you for life. It’s something that runs in your blood. It’s something you love with all of your heart and life. PASSION is something that makes your face lit up with smile, fun and excitement.


PASSION is contagious.


If you do something passionately, it is guaranteed that the result will somehow affect other people.

Because passion cannot be hidden. It’s there. It’s in your eyes and the thing that you love to do. 

So, what's your PASSION? :)
