The ending of the eagle and the snail

After reading a lot of welcome reviews, I felt to no avail, so I decided to write my own opinions.

To quote a vulgar saying: There are only two kinds of creatures that can climb the pyramid: eagles and snails.


Although the older brother Bran in "Warrior" has been trained since childhood, his talent is not outstanding. The conversation between Bran and his father at the door of the house stood out. Bran said: "One of the reasons I stayed was that I felt my father was mine alone, but you didn't mean to train me. All you love is Tommy."
Former boxer and current physics teacher. We learned from Frank that Bran put aside his boxing career to reassure his wife and daughter. "She won't come here with her two daughters and yell at me," Frask "joked" when he heard Bran was about to return to his old career.
For the family, Bran gave up boxing; for the family, Bran picked up boxing again. Bran has always been a person who does not bow to life. He is the snail that climbs up step by step.

Tommy's character is extremely plump and moving. The former Marines left the battlefield because they were disappointed in the war (learned from the widows of their comrades), and the hero of the war—moving tanks with bare hands to save people. After leaving the battlefield, he changed his surname and rejoined training. From the moment Tommy enters the boxing ring, we know that he is the kind of person with very different talents. He is the "eagle" of the boxing arena.

When the snail and the eagle meet, it doesn't really matter which brother wins or loses. The important thing is-they all climbed to the top of the pyramid.

I am going to contradict myself: Whether Bran or Tommy, they are actually the weak in society. One changed his surname and faced trial by a military court; one was suspended and his house was forced to be taken back by the bank. They are all fighting against their fate, and the reason why the brothers are facing such a fate?

This is about the role of father.

This is an elderly father who confessed to his two sons who did not recognize him. Stop drinking for 1000 days, take care of Tommy and bring the two brothers together... Father confessed to the mistakes he had done when he was young. But it was still unable to win the understanding of the two brothers...
What did the father do when he was young? The film didn't say specifically, and when the climax of the film, the old and old father trance saw his two sons facing each other in the boxing field for a living, I think the father's mentality at this time should be full of regrets.

The tragedy of the two sons is the tragedy of the father.

At the end of the film, the two brothers helped each other out of the boxing ring, and there was no shadow of their father in the camera. Although their father and family gave them a tragic starting point, the two brothers never stopped fighting against fate.

I think this is why the name of the film is called "Warrior".

Warrior quotes

  • Tom Conlon: So you found God, huh? That's awesome. See, Mom kept calling out for him but he wasn't around. I guess Jesus was down at the mill forgiving all the drunks. Who knew?

  • Paddy Conlon: Alright. Alright. But you get something through your skull, too. You called me. So don't go threatening to walk every five minutes. And since this is about training, you dump whatever it is you need to dump as far as those pills are concerned. I don't want to see 'em. In fact, hand 'em over right now. I know they're on you, Tommy. You sounded like a goddamn maraca coming through the door.
