	Movies - Temmink: The Ultimate Fight

Temmink: The Ultimate Fight is a Dutch movie from 1998 directed by Boris Paval Conen, starring Jack Wouterse, Jacob Derwig and Will van Kralingen.

Plot summary

Sometime in the near future the main character, the sociopathic Temmink, beats a passer-by to death and ends up in the so called "Arena" - a modern version of the ancient roman Colosseum. In a plexiglass cage, criminals with a violent past fight eachother for life or death like Roman gladiators, albeit with their bare hands in a cagefight without rules. As Temmink survives fight after fight and thus prolongs his stay in the Arena he undergoes changes. For the first time in his life he is capable of loving and makes friendship. In the background a discussion develops in the media and society in general about the ballot (who fights who) possibly being fixed and about the whole principle of convicted criminals fighting eachother to death in front of a crowd.

Themes

Although this movie obviously contains some violent and bloody fighting scenes from the Arena, Temmink is much more than just a Low Budget martial arts film. The big philosophical themes such as life and death, friendship and love are just as much the subjects of the story. In addition, more political theme's such as freedom and how society handles its criminals are dealt with as well.
