The movie "Warrior" received rave reviews as soon as it was released. Due to the spoiler nature of this subject matter, it was only after three years that I finally had the honor to watch it. After watching the movie, I finally understand the reason why this movie is so popular. As a boxing movie, there are all the elements: muscle man, coach, awesome opponent, blood, the final counterattack, and there is a deeper flavor. .
Under the gorgeous outerwear of boxing, there is a story about forgiveness, betrayal, and persistence.
Brother Brandon's forgiveness.
Brother Brandon is actually an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, and what he has done is easy to understand. It's such a normal choice to choose to give up mother and younger brother for love when young. Everyone has been young and knows that love is the most important thing in the world for a teenager. And Brandon is still a reliable ordinary person, he and the teenage girl who fell in love with the marriage hall, insisted on his choice. Teaching physics at school, the humor in class also shows that he is a good teacher. The two lovely children have a sense of responsibility and work three jobs in order to pay for the medical expenses of the children with heart disease. Hardly supported the crumbling home, and even embarked on the path of boxing again.
What a reliable person he is, a good husband, a good father, and a good teacher. The students love him so much.
But he actually needs to forgive the one most, because he has the longest heart knot and hides the deepest. He was born in an unfortunate family, and the drunk father's constant domestic violence broke the family early. As the eldest son, he had to face the partiality of his coach father and would never get his father's attention. He has no talent for boxing and can only live under the aura of his younger brother. He chose to stay because of love. In the eyes of his younger brother and mother, it was an unforgivable betrayal, but in the eyes of the young Brandon, it was not a betrayal by his mother and younger brother. They abandoned themselves in this way. , Left himself in a hellish home, and depended on a father who didn't value himself. So Brandon's knot is actually the most difficult to understand and the most difficult to understand, and he is the soft-hearted person, eager to resolve everything.
He needs to forgive the injustice of life and the betrayal of his loved ones.
Brother Tommy’s forgiveness was
actually fortunate for Tommy. He was born with a gift for boxing, valued by his father, and left this unfortunate family with his mother early, which is much better than his brother. But life is always unwilling to give Tommy the same peace as his brother, and always hits his fragile heart with strong winds and waves. He had to witness the tragic death of his mother, had to witness the death of his brother by friendly forces, and had to live alone. Tommy is a kind person. He rescued the young soldier while driving away, and silently comforted his drunk and distraught old father. The miserable experience only allowed him to hide his kindness in the cold. Under the mask, all that is left is to defeat the opponent madly, and then leave the noisy crowd.
If my brother went from nothing to gradually owning, and began to shoulder everything, then Tommy went from owning to nothing, and could only work hard to discover something to hold on, such as the wife and children of his lost brother.
Tommy needs to forgive everyone who made mistakes, his father, brother, erroneous allies, soldiers who regarded himself as a hero, and enthusiastic audiences. For him, these are all helpless and even a little absurd. All he wants is ordinary and caring.
Forgiveness of drunkard father
Father Paddy seems to be the culprit of all this unfortunate, not his alcoholism and violence, his mother will not die tragically, the two brothers will not be separated, this will be a happy family. There will be no evil for no reason in this world, let alone an ordinary father. Paddy's actions seem to be due to unknown reasons. There is not much introduction in the film, and we don't know. It may be that the war he experienced while serving in the Marine Corps led to his alcoholism and violence. The impact of war on people is always so tragic. Remember the movie called "Brothers", which deeply shows how war has brought The trauma of the soldier. Or his obsession with Tommy's success led him on a path of tragedy. Until many years have passed, he still watched the video of Tommy's victory over and over again.
In short, after the alcoholic father had stopped drinking for 1,000 days, only the gray-haired old man was left, listening to the story of youth and courage, alone, eager to win back his two sons.
It is not others that Paddy needs to forgive, but himself, because he failed to shoulder his due responsibilities, which caused the family tragedy.
Everyone tries to abandon the past and forgive themselves and others, but they are unhappy and suffer. At this time, the boxing match is like a burst of air, finding an outlet for all the pressure, and re-closing the rifts of the past few decades...
Brother Brandon faced the departure of Tommy, and said I forgive you.
The younger brother Tommy faced his collapsing father and hugged his head silently.
The drunkard father stood awkwardly in the aisle cheering for his eldest son.
The elder brother Brandon helped his dislocated brother and left the crowd behind him.
Brother Tommy swallowed his tears and patted his shoulder to complete his brother's victory.
The sober father hurried to the scene of the game and finally smiled.
This is a good movie, a good movie that does not require special effects, no super narrative, no sensationalism, no blood plasma. It just tells a moving story about forgiveness.
