She is active.
Boxing is a reverse sport, and Maggie’s way of living is also reverse. She goes against the lifestyle of women in the lower class that society defaults to. She refuses to admit her life. She goes against her own situation. She doesn’t want to be rubbish. Create your own fate, and strive for self-improvement in the face of adversity.
She decided her own death, although she did not commit suicide, but she made the decision herself.
In the relationship with Maggie, Frankie is restrained, self-controlled, even passive, and withdrawn. Frankie is easy to hesitate and worry too much when making a decision, which is obviously in contrast to Maggie.
She is stubborn.
Frankie asked Maggie to take a break on the weekend, but Maggie came to practice the next day. She didn't argue with him, but stubbornly did what she wanted to do. She never thought that she would be called by countless people, she never thought about being in a magazine, she was just working hard and living with her bare hands. Maggie keeps learning, practicing, working hard and never giving up. Fight non-stop, surpass the limit of endurance. Gamble everything for dreams that others can't understand. Go upstream, pursue your dreams, and surpass yourself.
She is aggressive and adventurous.
Maggie feels that she is strong enough, so she does things that she may not really be able to do, but she is talented and lucky, and did not suffer too much misfortune because of her bravery. However, it is a big deal for me to be interrupted in real life.
The boxer belt symbolizes honor, the ultimate goal of a boxer. In fact, this is not Maggie's purpose, she just wants to do what she wants to do. Her bravery and passion drove her forward.
She is masculine.
A broken nose is probably a big deal for ordinary girls, disfigurement is simply more sad than death, and Maggie takes on the appearance of a man-in-law, not well-dressed or dressed up.
Frankie refused to train women at the beginning. Boxing is a very masculine sport because of inertial thinking. It is powerful and cannot be done by women.
In the so-called normal world, it is not normal for women to be boxers. Female boxers are freaks and alternatives. They will be ridiculed and despised. The normal life that women need is to marry a child, not to pursue their dreams to be boxing. hand.
In fact, Maggie has always been within the normal social system. It is just marginal. Although she fights boxing, she still fights with women. In other words, she is not the only woman like her, her opponents are always there. There are people similar to her.
There are many male boxers in the boxing ring. They are in contrast to Maggie, arrogant men, men who live in their own illusion world.
Her double family.
Maggie has a mother, younger sister, and older brother, but their existence is worse than nonexistence. They only love money, not her personally. She bought a new house for her mother and paid it off without a loan, but her sister and mother didn't appreciate it. They wanted cash.
Maggie felt that Frankie was the only one in her world, and the two of them were in love with each other. It happened that Frankie's daughter was estranged from him. He lacked a daughter and she lacked a father.
The former is a family of blood, and the latter is a family of psychology. Obviously one is cold and the other is so tender.
Her missing love.
The staff of the boxing ring casually said "love you" to Maggie before the match, and she was very happy and excited, because that was her world except for the man her father thought was the first man to say "love you" to her. It is lack of love.
Her body.
When the boxer inevitably hurts her body, Maggie was injured more than once in the match, and even more than once, the opponent was injured. In the championship, Maggie was paralyzed, and it can be said that she almost lost her body. , She had no way to control her body anymore, she could only linger with the help of machinery, and that was something she also didn't want to happen and accept.
She and Frankie.
The relationship between Maggie and Frankie is at least threefold: coach and agent and boxer, father and daughter, man and woman. Usually the most common relationship between the two of them is the coach-agent and boxer; the deep-seated relationship between them is father and daughter; the most fundamental relationship is man and woman.
My beloved, my flesh and blood.
