Biographical films tend to give people a dull and serious look, but this film enhances its visibility and enjoyment while retaining its authenticity.

The protagonist Tonya is the most controversial athlete in the history of American figure skating. She can see both outstanding talent and degenerate genes in her, both the talent of sudden fame and the inducement of tragedy.

Tonya's controversial life starts at the age of 3. After her mother divorced, she raised her alone. The mother, who is not high in education, is arbitrary and rude. She has a paranoia beyond her understanding of Tonya's figure skating career, and treats only 3 years severely. Year-old Tonya, skating was her only childhood companion.

Under the extreme training of her mother, Tonya showed extraordinary talent in figure skating since childhood. The mother, who works as a waiter at the restaurant, gave almost all of her savings to support Tonya's figure skating training. But they can only barely pay the coaching fee, and can't afford the high cost of the competition uniform, so they can only rely on Tonya to sew by hand.

In addition to emerging in figure skating, Tonya, who has entered adolescence, is also known by the public for her hot and uninhibited personality and her family background below the middle class.

In those days, figure skating was the monopoly of the rich, American sweetheart girls were the mainstream of the American spirit at that time, and Tonya, who was full of foul language, seemed out of place. This also laid the fuse for the conflict between her and the figure skating referee community in the future.

In addition to her career development, Tonya also gained love, which had a profound impact on her life. After a brief sweet period, arguments and violence ensue. Tonya still chooses to get married, and it brings a devastating change to her life.

When Jeff's violent tendencies first appeared, Tonya hesitated, but her world was too single, and she had no object to talk to except her arbitrary mother. In the end, she followed her own heart and made a choice.

Figure skating for Tonya is no longer a last resort under the high pressure of her mother, but the most important value in her life. Her thirst for gold also grew, and she continued to participate in various events, and her name began to be known outside the United States.

The peak of Tonya's figure skating career was also reached at this time. After countless days and nights of hard practice, in 1991, at the age of 20, she completed an Axel triple jump in her personal sports career, which was also the first time in the history of American figure skating. An athlete who performs this action. At that moment, Tonya's status as the queen of figure skating was well deserved.

The peak is followed by a rapid descent. Tonya's marital situation increases, and Jeff's violence escalates. There are all kinds of uncertainties around Tonya, a tyrannical mother, a violent husband, and prejudice in the figure skating world, each of which is enough to set off a disaster in her world. A tumultuous personal life takes a toll on Tonya's career.

In the end, Tonya's figure skating career ended with the famous murder scandal in the history of American sports. When the judge handed down the verdict that he could not engage in figure skating for life, the tears on Tonya's face washed away the value of his life like a flood that broke the embankment, and the world's attention to the former queen of figure skating came to an end.

There are many ways to realize the value of life, and the one that suits you is the best. The manifestation of self-worth should not be projected into the eyes of others. The self-worth of any individual is an independent product and should enjoy freedom. External intervention will often make it deviate from the right track.

The ending of a life story comes from choices, and each choice is the criss-crossing underground rhizomes, which determine the appearance of the big trees that grow on the ground.

Thriving, decaying, and behind the appearance there is cause and effect. There is no big tree in the world that falls for no reason, and the rich fruits it bears are by no means fluke.
