The real ending of "In the Octagon" was that Su Mu won the game, but was seriously injured.

The movie "The Octagonal Cage" tells the true story of what happened in Chengdu that year, about a retired fighting athlete and a poor girl. This retired fighting athlete is Lu Shaojun in real life. He was once the runner-up in the national fighting competition, but faced difficulties in life after retirement.

The prototype of Su Mu in the ending is Su Mu, the "Fighting Orphan" from Liangshan, and the prototype of Enbo is Xiang Tenghui. It was also Enbo's idea for the Enbo Fighting Club to adopt these orphans.

While serving in the military, Enbo worked as a military instructor at the grassroots level. He noticed that there were often children wandering in the mountains and streets, and he decided to help these children. In the end, Sumu won the game but was seriously injured. The children were later recalled by the local government to receive nine years of compulsory education.

Movie evaluation:

The characters in "The Octagonal Cage" are vivid and vivid, and the emotional expressions are delicate and true, which is deeply touching. The film is adapted from real events and has a strong realistic color. The rolling mountains, winding and bumpy mountain roads, simple battlefields, dilapidated trucks, and dim county KTVs in the film all give people a rough and solid quality of life.

Every move, word and deed of the characters in the film is infiltrated with the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes at the bottom of the folk and the market flavor of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and is permeated with the wild and unbridled power of savage growth. The scene of a group of orphans just arriving at the battlefield and eating a lot of food, the scene of them preferring to suffer and be scolded rather than leaving, the impoverished situation of Sumu's family, and the dilemma of his sister being paralyzed in bed, all illustrate the difficulty of survival deep in the mountains.

The realistic presentation of the living environment and the realistic presentation of the plight of the bottom endow the film with a strong sense of reality, which is quite artistically penetrating and shocking.
