I just be myself

After reading it, what I admire most is Ali’s personality charm, living the life I want to live, and having my own judgment. He is unwilling to succumb to any authority or interest group. What he sees is the real freedom of people. When he opposed the Vietnam War, he said that even my rights to freedom and equality in the United States cannot be guaranteed. Why should I go thousands of miles away to hurt poor people? Ali thinks from the perspective of people, no matter which country, no matter what kind of race, no matter what kind of belief, people should be equal and should be respected.
As far as the film is concerned, some of the pictures are very artistic and thought-provoking, but the story’s cohesion is insufficient and the plot is somewhat procrastinated, which makes my understanding of Ali a bit fragmented, and I can’t feel him well during that period. Life experience and psychological changes.

    The subject matter is not bad, and Will's acting skills will not be a problem, but if this kind of biography is too bland, it will easily make you feel that there is no climax.

    The film is 157 minutes long, from Ali's first championship title in 1964 to his victory over Foreman in 1974 to regain the title again. It records Ali's glorious and controversial ten years. In the United States, he has no sense of belonging and was revoked from boxing. License, but received a heroic welcome in Africa. His victory in court can be seen as a victory in the human rights struggle of African-Americans. The scenes of the film are over-abundant and a bit detached, a bit broken, and look a bit dull and a bit detached. And the character conflict is not enough and the drama is not strong. His opponents, including Fraser, Foreman, etc., have too little explanation about Ali's attitude. After all, this is a commercial movie. Will Smith's performance is outstanding, and the appearance is really similar to Ali, including the shaping of the body and the demeanor of the language. Compared with the Rocky series, the performance of boxing shots is not enough impact, but it is qualified, after all, it is a documentary route.
