this is about love A story about pain, a story about loss.
If a person has become accustomed to the mockery of fate and the abandonment of others, there will be no waves in the stagnant water until death, and peace will be accompanied. If destiny made a joke with him, let the dry saline soil suffer the spring weather and rain, bloom, and quickly destroy this vitality, what should he do?
Frankie's profession is a boxing coach. The essentials of boxing are contrary to what we are used to. To strike a heavy punch, you must first take a step back. This contradiction extends throughout the film. I saw that fate made Frankie cruel jokes one after another, and almost all of his actions resulted in the opposite of his wishes. Frankie wanted to protect his boxer. He trained Willie for eight years and never let Willie participate in the title match. He was afraid of failing due to lack of preparation and ruining Willie's future. But Willie couldn't wait any longer. He followed an agent who could play him in the title match, and left Frankie with all the skills Frankie taught him.
What he wants to protect cannot be protected, just as he could not protect Eddie back then. Frankie's caution stems from his inner regret. As a training assistant, he had no right to stop the game, so Eddie lost an eye. The pain had lingered in his heart for decades, and his eyes looked at Eddie with regret.
Another dull pain in his heart was his daughter's rejection of him. He has been writing letters to his daughter for decades, but every letter is returned intact. He was used to opening the door to pick up the bounced letters on the ground, and was used to opening the closet and putting them in a small box on the top floor, neatly.
The simple, closed training hall is as empty and lonely as his lonely heart. Nothing to place. The speed bag that hasn't been used for decades is like the ambition he has already packed up. When he heard Maggie's training application for the first time, his instinctive reaction was to refuse-I don't train girls.
Later Frankie said to the priest, you don't know how difficult it is to train her. Other fighters will do as I say, but Maggie always has her own ideas.
For a 30-year-old Maggie who had never been in professional training before, he was really serious about teaching how to strike out, how to hide and prepare, and what to eat on weekdays. Maggie was like a newborn. Like her baby, everything needs to be taught patiently, and-she is still so disobedient. Running-in and blending are not only technical, but also spiritual. From when Maggie asked him if he had relatives, to when he drove her to visit family members. Maggie's filial mother did not appreciate it, but worried that living in such a neat house would not be like the poor and not receiving welfare payments. In the car, she told him that I only have you in this world, Frankie. He was silent for a moment and teased, yeah, before you find a new manager.
The bits and pieces of details merge into a gift—the green silk shirt he gave her, a name—Mocuishle in Gaulish embroidered on the shirt, and a wish—to buy a hut, a hut shared by two. , Eating handmade lemon pie in the hut, it feels like heaven.
Under his careful training, she exploded with amazing potential, fought in all directions, and knocked down each opponent in front of her, almost without more than one round. In this way, she ushered in the most important game of her life, challenging the women's heavyweight world championship, with an average playing fee of one million dollars, regardless of victory or defeat.
She longed for the opponent and longed for victory. She appeared on the stage in the cheers of the audience and bagpipes in a green shirt. In response to her passion, a huge shadow from the opposite exit stood tall and approached. Like death came, to swallow her green life.
Frankie was stunned when the accident happened. In a fatal accident, her spine was broken, her whole body was paralyzed, and she was unable to breathe spontaneously.
Whose responsibility? Who will bear it?
Later, Frankie blamed Eddie like a child, you asked me to train her. He wanted to escape inner condemnation. Maggie reflected on the bed, saying that she had forgotten what Frankie said, "Don't forget to protect yourself", she should not turn around, and she should not put her hands down.
In fact, Frankie knew the cause of the accident best. He saw that the opponent's tactics were inferior and Maggie was at a disadvantage. He asked Maggie to block the referee's sight to attack the opponent's sensitive parts, so he had the upper hand. The opponent took advantage of Maggie's unpreparedness and attacked and caused tragedy. An unrighteous act is like a boomerang, hitting the opponent at the same time it will in turn hurt yourself. If this force bounces back from a villain who is good at it, the consequences will be devastating. Frankie's regret was not written on his face, but bit his heart. As a result of his choice, what hurt was not an eye, but a life, a life he loved!
Eddie told Frankie that he didn't regret his suggestion. How many people have been mediocre all their lives, telling themselves that I have never succeeded.
Maggie said to Frankie, I have tasted success. At that moment, the audience called my name, the name you gave me. I was struggling to come into this world, and now struggling to leave. Please, I don't want them to take away what I have from me a little bit.
I don't know what kind of despair it is to see my beloved sinking a little bit with the cracked surface, but I can't help me out.
He finally told her what Mocuishle had been asking about-meaning my beloved, my flesh and blood...
At this time, I saw Maggie's tears.
Seeing Frankie unplug her respirator and inject adrenaline into her infusion tube, I seemed to see a complete individual that was hard to repair, torn in half, and even heard the sound of a limb tearing. When he walked out of the hospital's door, it was the mutilated body that had split the other half. I don't know if he has enough time to heal himself.
After all his dark night was illuminated by another life, after all his cold winter was warmed by another life, I don't know if I can ask for more.
