When Tonya participated in the 1992 Winter Olympics, with the introduction of the host, the audience nervously watched whether she could complete the three-and-a-half-week jump again. The moment she jumps, the screen cuts off and turns black, turning it into a solo interview with Tonya, and her skating boots don't work well when she shifts the blame to her new love. The director also adopted the fastest replay method to let the audience discover the real reason why she lost the game. Before the game, Tonya had no excuses and just kept drinking, having fun, and being overweight. No one wants to admit that the reason for failure is actually their own.
"I, Tonya" depicts the life of a frustrated skater, and the entire movie belongs to the biographical genre. Unlike other biopics, this fast-paced and conflicting film is not the usual positive energy movie that tells the audience how to become a great man. This film directly hits reality and makes people face and reflect on a question, why can't I succeed despite my efforts? The saddest thing about an athlete is that no one remembers that you ever made it, people just keep making fun of why you can't win another cup.
Tonya grew up in a family with problems in the original ecology, and she lived with her mother. My mother had used Tonya's harsh discipline since she was a child, and she knew that as long as she used violent abuse, Tonya could win the game. Does mother love Tonya? This question makes me suspicious. The most brilliant scene in the whole film is when Tonya was suspected by the media that she used a trick to make her rival Nancy break her leg, and her mother came to Tonya's home when she needed help the most. Tonya was moved to hug her mother, her mother's hand reached into her pocket, and she clicked the recorder to turn it on. Tonya noticed this little detail. Only then did she realize that her mother didn't come to support her at all, but for profit, and she angrily drove her mother out of the house. There is an old saying that "a strict teacher produces a good student", and Tonya's mother is just a strict person who constantly betrays her daughter's interests.
After watching the movie, my friends and I discussed the movie, and we all agreed that Tonya didn't want to be a born Loser, and more of the failure came from everyone close to her. Another key factor in Tonya's failure was her husband, Jeff. The first acquaintance of Jeff and Tonya was so beautiful. The meeting at the skating rink, the first date was awkward and unforgettable, Tonya's mother ate with the two and asked if the two had hooked up with each other. But the transition happened a few months after the sweet period, and Tonya didn't choose to leave when she found out that Jeff was hitting herself. At that time, Tonya said a narration: My mother beat me too, but she loved me. There are indeed many ways to be a lover, but when Tonya is used to being beaten, she will reciprocate in a rude way. In the middle of the marriage, Tonya and Jeff would even use guns to fight at home, and Jeff would keep slapping Tonya's door to prevent them from getting a divorce.
At the end of the film, when Tonya was judged that she could no longer ski on the ice rink, her life did not end because of it. It seemed that she was not knocked down by life. Tonya took another approach to get back on the stage by becoming a boxer. Even if she was repeatedly knocked to the ground, she chose to stand up again and continue to punch, regardless of how much blood flowed out of her mouth. Failure can also be faced, and Tonya's uncomfortable attitude makes me think that she fails beautifully.
