A poor and powerful mother with 9 children, she can only use the children as tools if she wants to survive. It used to be Dick and now Mickey.
The mother turned 9 children into her own echo bugs. All of them dare not defy the mother’s ideas. As a boxer, Mickey is weak and has no decisive ability, because all his decisions since childhood were made by his mother. Yes, even if I want to leave my mother to find a new agent, I have to rely on my girlfriend to speak. Don’t the sisters know that a serious agent and coach are better than a mother + drug addicted Dick? But the sisters also know that the main source of income for the family that supports them now is Mickey's bonus. Once the broker is changed, it means that the family loses control of Mickey, loses the source of income, and they lose the source of parasites.
As the head of the mother's family, there is certainly nothing wrong with supporting such a big family. The daughters don’t have any strengths or abilities. They can only rely on their two sons to work hard to earn hard money. The stretched economy makes it impossible for her to have long-term plans for the children’s training and future, so she always shortsightedly finds something wrong for Mickey. Appropriate strange games to play, this mode ruined Dick, but also allowed Mickey to go the same way. Why did my mother always let Dick mix with Mickey’s game? She was actually ashamed of herself. Dick had made a great contribution to this family. No matter how bad he was, her mother knew that the root cause of all this was that she destroyed Dick, so he hoped Mickey can pull Dick, at least let him have a job, know that he has value, at least return to life. But this method of destroying one child to pull another child is really undesirable. Isn't this just one person drowning and dragging everyone to die together? Here I have to say that at least Comrade Deng Xiaoping's model of getting rich first and getting rich later is more preferable. For example, the 2020 movie Hillbilly Elegy "The Elegy of the Countryman" is a similar model. Hillbilly Elegy, who is also born at the bottom, has been deeply influenced by his drug-addicted mother since childhood, but is a strong grandmother who works hard to think about Jed’s future. Under the influence, he finally walked out of the bottom life through the tortuous road of joining the army-->studying, which also gave his grandmother's old age to rely on, and the drug-addicted mother was also on the right track of life later. The Mickey family hopes to get out of the bottom through boxing, but unfortunately there was no relative who was only thinking about him during the crucial teenage years in his life. The people around him value the collective interests of the family more. He became the one who allowed this family to survive. Victim. If he hadn't met Charlene, the girlfriend of the goddess of luck, in his thirties, he might still be unable to obtain a personal personality under such a family arrangement, but whether he can come out depends on whether he has a strong will. In the end, Mickey's victory was not the encouragement of his brother Dick and the cheers of his family, but a cowardly and unintentional Mickey finally had a goal in life, fighting for himself, not to be an older brother to make his mother happy. The fact that the family accepts Charlene is actually just because everyone realizes that the original means can no longer control Mickey. Accepting Charlene can give them a chance to indirectly influence Mickey. The warmth of the pulse is just to cover up the unbearableness of this low-level family. .
If Mickey and Dick want to achieve personal success, whether it is boxing or any kind of lifestyle, first of all, they must have the ability to make judgments. They can no longer rely on a mother whose starting point is completely different from their own to make decisions, let alone listen to themselves. The help of the sisters, because they are the vested interests of the original family order.
The performance of the actors in this film is very good, especially Bell, who used to watch him perform gentleman or calm roles. I didn't expect such a low-level figure with constant small movements to perform so well. But this film does not have enough depth. The description of family relations is not as good as the Japanese film "The Thief Family", and the description of the inspirational human awakening is not as good as "The Elegy of the Countryman".
Interestingly, Amy Adams has appeared in both "Fladiator" and "The Elegy of the Countryman". In "Fladiator" it is Mickey's goddess of luck Charlene, and in "The Elegy of the Countryman" Jade falls into hopelessness. Childhood grumpy drug addict mother.
