(The truth has long been difficult to verify, this article is only based on the movie, be careful with spoilers↓)
Compared with "I, Queen of Flowers", I prefer the translated name "My mother is Tanya". "I, Queen of Flowers" sounds like an ordinary inspirational biographical film in the traditional sense, and "My Mother's Name is Tanya" powerfully highlights the heroine's character from the name, and is more appropriate to the protagonist herself. This is not a biographical film in the traditional sense. This film is a rare "anti-American dream" film. Tonya worked tirelessly, but eventually failed step by step. Tonya began to learn figure skating at the age of four and participated in numerous competitions, big and small, but always failed to get good scores because of music, clothing and other issues. Even after completing the unprecedented triple jump in the United States, the judges were still very harsh on her. She angrily asked the judges why they didn't give her a perfect score, but the judge told her that figure skating is not just about skills, "You are not the kind of image we want to build, you want to represent the country, what we need is to have complete A contestant with a family image, and you don't cooperate at all." Tonya said helplessly: "Can't it be just about skating?" The judges refused to answer his question. Tonya chose to compromise. For the sake of her career, she decided to reconcile with her ex-husband who was abusive. But on the eve of the 1994 Winter Olympics, Tonya's ex-husband and his friends conspired to injure the knee of Tonya's opponent Nancy. Tonya did not know about it but was still sentenced to probation, 500 hours of community service and $160,000 in fines. She was fined, and the US Ice Association has since removed her from the game and banned her for life. Tonya was forced to give up skating to pursue a career in boxing and wrestling, but life did not improve much, and it didn't take long for Tonya to end her career in a hurry. The film tells the bitter story in a dark and humorous way, and this seemingly relaxed way of narration makes people realize the difficulties, helplessness and grievances Tonya has experienced along the way. She is really just a person who has been working hard for her dream but suffered many misfortunes. There are many aspects to her misfortune: Lavona has treated Tonya coldly and viciously since she was a child, and even hit her when she was not satisfied with her competition results; she left her mother and married the man she liked, but she still could not escape domestic violence; The poor family environment and low education have made her a character with obvious flaws; the stupid behavior of her scumbag husband and his friends directly caused Tonya to leave the world of figure skating... She is a completely tragic figure, born with Her talent and her persistent efforts made her possess almost perfect figure skating skills, but because of her poor family background, lack of a complete happy and harmonious family, and unpleasant personality, it was difficult for her to be recognized by the public. "The definition of shocking, ironic. Black humor is the biggest difference between this film and other biographical films. The director uses black humor to describe this extremely absurd and crazy event in an understatement, but the sadness behind the black humor penetrates deeply into the hearts of the audience. This film does not adopt the traditional linear narrative method. The director intersperses pseudo-interviews and pseudo-documentary segments of multiple characters during the storytelling, which is refreshing. Ridiculous, but also more intuitive to show the character characteristics of each character. The film uses the classic Woody Allen-style actor to talk directly with the audience in many places, constantly breaking the fourth wall to directly interact with the audience, but the excessive use of it makes people suspect that the director deliberately shows off his skills. The many long shots in the film are also very good. The soundtrack of this film is also just right, and it complements the content of the story and the characters of the characters, and it is worth listening to. One of the most shocking scenes in the film is probably before the Olympic Games. Tonya sits alone in front of the make-up mirror, puts on heavy makeup to cover his haggard face, practices in front of the mirror and smiles in front of the public camera when he plays later. The expression was out of control, and it was difficult to suppress his collapsed emotions several times, and it was on the verge of eruption. I have to praise Margot Robbie's acting skills here. Although the previous "Suicide Squad" was popular, this film has won her a number of nominations for best actress awards, including Oscar. It can be said that she is proud of herself. To the name. What is even more surprising is that Allison Janney, who plays the poisonous and indifferent mother Lavona, won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 90th Academy Awards for this film. In this way, Lavona's role is even more of a model of the devil's mother. It is said that this film seems to be suspected of whitewashing Tonya, but as far as the film is concerned, Tonya's tenacity in the pursuit of dreams is worthy of praise and reference by everyone. She is a true warrior who dares to face the bleak life and dripping blood. She is talented, but born at an untimely time. She constantly fights back against life with her actual actions, but life is such a shit, and efforts may not be rewarded, just like her last line in this film "That's the fucking truth!" s the fucking truth! " s the fucking truth! "
