When I saw the labels of "comedy" and "biography", I thought that the United States was going to make three or four traditional inspirational movies a year to promote the American dream. I can't watch it anymore after it's over.
The photography is simply dazzling, speaking to the audience like "Deadpool", CG synthesis, COS Harley Quinn, the latest technical skills of American comics in recent years are all in it, and even the actors are Marvel and DC. Is the skill deliberately showing off or sarcasm? Motivation unknown. But the whole story is absolutely a blatant mockery of the whole traditional American dream.
Story elements: sports, diaosi, love, family affection, friendship, coaching affection, excellent opponents, the combination of these elements makes a proper inspirational movie, the kind you want to learn after watching it. The result is not. A total of two hours, the most glorious time of the heroine was finished in the first half hour. Dry! This half hour is the essence of the past sports biography movies! What's up with the background? Because this is not a story about Diaosi's counterattack and winning the championship, this is a story about how the mainstream society kicks Diaosi out.
Tania Harding, who has reached the peak with excellent skills, is not popular with the mainstream. The key is that she has no chance to kick her out. The mainstream society has no choice, and the native environment will do it first. Tania, who came from the bottom, married a violent madman with a high school diploma and a truck. After a breakup, Tania, who was in desperate need of love, returned to the arms of the violent madman Jeff, and the two fell together. . Falling with Tania's skating vision, she won't be able to jump for three and a half weeks. So Tania, like her mother, worked as a waiter.
Tania, who scored twice, was immediately strangled by love, family and friendship. First of all, the otaku fat man who regarded himself as Tania's bodyguard directed and acted a death threat that he thought he was very smart, and he screwed up. In order to collect evidence, the FBI did not provide Tania with the anonymous protection of reporting, but instead confessed her to her violent boyfriend. The worst thing is that when Tania was most vulnerable, the FBI persuaded Tania's mother, a person who called her daughter a stinky bitch, to come to Tania's house and say, "I'm proud of you", only To defraud evidence of Tania's crime. To be honest, I was also deceived when the mother and daughter met, and I was deceived into tears, but the director made me realize that this was a comedy, a complete comedy. Family, love, and friendship stand on opposite sides in the face of interests, intimidation, and power. Even if you are already on your knees, you will be hit hard. No, it's a set of punches.
In the end, Tania confessed. She thinks it was wrong to associate with Jeff. Holy crap, I've heard of being responsible for a relationship, but I've never heard of unilaterally admitting one's fault for a relationship. What kind of society is this? The whole society treats Tania like how Tania was beaten by Jeff: I was beaten, and I thought it was me who was wrong. Society wants Tania to admit: I am the daughter of a waiter, and I was wrong. Even if I jumped the best and accomplished a feat in women's skating history, I didn't fit in with mainstream culture, so I was wrong.
Trial Tania reminds me of Julien from Red and Black and the little devil from A Song of Ice and Fire. Unlike the latter, Tania did not recognize her relationship with the society. She kept ingratiating herself with the mainstream, and kept taking responsibility for faults that did not belong to her. She wanted the world to recognize her skating achievements. Unfortunately, mainstream society refuses to admit it. You can attract attention, but you can't be a role model.
The second half of this film satirizes the core of almost all traditional biographical films. Bear the brunt of the "Rocky" series is full of power and confrontation of boxing. At the end, the sport of ice skating of a tough individual overlaps with the sport of boxing where one is knocked out by another; the tumultuous media; the mood of the crowd; In the past, movies have focused on the first place and the first place opponent, and no one will pay attention to what will happen to the eighth place in the Olympic Games. Maybe this eighth place is not because of poor technology? It doesn't matter, she is the eighth, invisible.
Society is like Jeff, who beat Tania with a gun while drinking. He just got out of the car and told a few jokes in the face of censure. As for the beaten Tania? Isn't she just beaten, it's no big deal.
Supplement: I read a lot of other movie reviews that say whitewashing. I think this film ridicules society far more than it does whitewashing. It tells us "how the old society turned people into ghosts". Arendt once talked about "the evil of mediocrity". It is not easy to talk about the concept directly. Let's use a real example. Ever since the word "bear boy" came alive, tactics to deal with the bear child continued to appear, and finally evolved to the point where the bus beat the bear child violently. Two days ago, there was a rape settlement and a murder settlement. Then someone can't help but say, "He's just a kid!" and then there's a bunch of people saying, "You wouldn't say that if it was your daughter who raped you" or "It's okay to grow up now. No!" Or to quote the classic poem: "I don't speak for them now, who will speak for me when I am killed in the future!" The latter is quite reasonable, huh? The question is, does the latter ever think: "What if the rapist or murderer is your child?" Or ask: We only think about the situation where we are the victim, what if one day we become the perpetrator? Maybe someone will shake the wit: so I don't have children. This is another option, but doesn't solve the problem.
"Eradication" of thinking does not solve the problem. I've never felt that one method can handle everything, there must be something wrong with being too simple. If any mistakes are addressed in the "purge", I remember that the Nazis did the same to the Jews.
