The film depicts the most important part of Tonya's life from different people's perspectives. It should have been a story of a talented girl fucking the world, but the more the plot progresses, it still makes people feel hopeless: the world still walks in its inherent way, and retrograde people will not be recognized. Tonya never got a fair score in her many skating competitions as a child, either because she didn't have decent attire, or she couldn't represent America without a good family. She was supposed to be on a good path first, influenced by her mother's radical educational methods, and later by her first love, Jeff, who completely ruined her career. The main characters in the play, Tonya, Jeff, and their mother all have violent behaviors. One is that violence will extend violence, and the other is that the main characters are very anxious. One wants to fulfill his dream and escape from his mother, the other wants to keep his lover and go back to the past, and the last one doesn't know how to raise a healthy daughter because he has never received his mother's love. But every main character thinks they are right. In their memory, all their own impressions are glorified, and the fault lies with others. This also reflects the thoughts of most people in real life: everyone else is stupid, I That's right. But in fact everyone is wrong. In fact, everything has been foreshadowed. From when Tonya was a child, his mother never shy away from foul language, beating and scolding, and his father's abandonment. When Jeff started to beat Tonya, when Tonya didn't know how to judge love and get love, the gear of fate has been turning. , until it got stuck at the point of collapse - the accident. The final outcome was unexpectedly peaceful, everyone lived a new life, no matter who was right and who was wrong back then, the once absurd youth was no longer worth mentioning. Many years later, everyone mentioned it, but there was a girl named Harding in the memory of that year. She used to be the first person in the world to jump three and a half laps on the ice rink.
