you're my hero

Bell chooses dick in "Fighter" to apply for the Golden Globe and Oscar for best supporting role. It is a strategy to compete with other supporting role candidates with no less than the protagonist's role, and avoid more powerful protagonist opponents. It is a strategy, but it is also somewhat Lack of courage. Probably he needs an Oscar to give himself a bit of affirmation, to give himself a little recognition for his professionalism for losing weight, which is nothing to blame.

But also, in my opinion, he played well in "Fighter", but he was not so stunning. This movie also has the same quality: good, but I always feel a little bit worse.

I rarely watch biographical films. I watched the kind of feature films that under the guise of biographies, such as Mei Lanfang and Ye Wen.

Or see those movies that intend to choose different angles to interpret history, but are ultimately powerless, such as the Song Dynasty. So I don’t know what a real biopic is good.

As a commercial film in a commercial society, of course, there must be something that attracts attention, there must be ups and downs, there must be joys and sorrows, and there must be handsome men and beautiful women. Of course, the most important thing is that most of them have perfect endings, otherwise the biographer may not be willing to let you shoot. And under all these premises, still faithful to the conscience and duty of the recorder, and relatively completely recorded his good and evil, hesitation and firmness, cowardice and courage, so despicable and great, I think this is probably one thing. A successful and beautiful biopic.

My requirements for movies are actually very low. I forgive them for those false things. I spit on those profundity and obscure expressions. I hope the movies are good-looking, and I won’t forget them right away after watching them. Many directors probably disdain this point, but in fact they can't do it at all. It is an extremely clever technique to find a happy balance between good-looking and deep. Even if you are a liar, as long as you can lie to everyone and make everyone convinced, joyful and enjoyable, you are the strong one. And for those who both enjoy and understand your wolf ambition through your prosperous appearance, you are the strong one among the strong ones they admire the most.

According to this standard, "Fighter" cannot be regarded as a good movie by me, at least I watched it with my eyelids supported, and dragged the progress bar in the last battle. I just love Bell, who is unrelenting, unconditionally, and unprincipled for no reason. Besides, I don't like anyone in there.

Not only I don't like it, but I also think the protagonist is very pitiful.

Yes, he has grown from a small unknown boxer to the throne of lightweight boxing champion. He finally has everything, laurels, fame, his family, and beloved girlfriend, but he is still so pitiful.

He has a strong mother, seven strong sisters, a strong brother, and a strong girlfriend. Everyone has a unique insight and a strong personality.

He is the only one who has never been silent and has a vague personality.

At first he listened to his brother and his mother, then he listened to his girlfriend, then he returned to his mother, and then to his girlfriend, and finally everyone was happy. Every turning point is not about him actively fighting and fighting, it is always the people around him who are working hard, compromising, understanding and cooperating. He is just a pair of fists on the ring, earning a lot of money for the full expectation of these people, and then in tears and cheers, he shows a little smile, as if this is the life he wants.

Yes, I can only say that, this is the life he wants, and this may be the happiness he wants.

Well, actually I don’t care about him. It’s just this biopic. Whose biography is it? Of course not his, this is just a movie where the protagonist’s head is stepped up and a bunch of small characters of different colors are shown.

Or I can secretly guess that the whole movie is just for Bell and Amy Adams, to fully explode their acting skills and professionalism, and give them a brilliant film career. The real protagonist, whether it is the protagonist in the movie or the leading actor in reality, is a victim.

Therefore, as a biopic, I think it is unqualified, but as a collection of Bell Controls, it is too qualified.

I found another reason why I fell in love with Bell: this man is a lunatic!

How could he toss his body so madly? Suddenly fat and thin, strong to fit and fit, thin to the shape of a bone. He is a lunatic lunatic lunatic...

Looking at his thin back, I was obsessed with tears: This is an act of reducing life...Does he also believe in 2012?

If 2012 really exists, please let me finish watching Batman Three, and then calmly go to the end.

Although I said bad things about "Fighter", I still admit that there was a scene that moved me.

After Bell took the initiative to find Amy to reconcile, the protagonist hugged his girlfriend, looked at Bell away from the shoulder, and said: you're my hero.

Bell smiled in the distance and said: I was, I was...

Then he left...

    HBO is making a movie about Dickie and Mickey defeating Saul McBee. Saul Macbee, however, caught the flu and was replaced by Mike Mulkin, who was 20 pounds heavier than Mickey. In the end, Mickey failed miserably, and Dickie went to jail. So this movie, which originally praised the two brothers, became a negative teaching material. People don't really respect you, they just join in the fun and eat melons. If you succeed, he will follow suit, and if you fail, he will fall into trouble. He can hold you up today and scold you tomorrow. It wouldn't be a bad thing for HBO to make a movie that discredits Dickie, who probably never would have woken up if it wasn't for the movie. HBO doesn't care about Dicky at all. Their original intention was to create topics and increase ratings, but they inadvertently contributed to Dickie's awakening. Dickey, who used to be sluggish and doing nothing, just because of this movie and because of the change in people's attitudes towards him after he was imprisoned, made him decide to change his way of life. What made him decide to start over was not successful studies or chicken soup for the soul, but the real blows in life. He is not only a fighter in boxing, but also a fighter in life.

The Fighter quotes

  • Neary Trainer: [during the press conference] In fact, we expected a much better fighter.

    Mickey Ward: I'm just grateful to be here and have the opportunity. Thank you, guys, for the shot.

    Reporter: Shea, who DO you respect as a fighter, and who'd you like to fight next?

    Neary: I plan on moving right through Micky Ward tomorrow, moving on to other great fighters, like Gatti. Yeah, I believe Gatti and I'd make a great match.

  • Dickie Eklund: It's not fuckin' ladylike to be shoutin' in the street like this, all right?
