Mentioned that I can think of several films about boxers at once, which really surprised me: Russell Crowe in "Tekken Man" continues to show the image of a tough guy, but my impression can only be regarded as a relatively standard inspirational film. "Ali", although Will Smith is still my favorite actor, I can't even recall the plot of the film at present; it's "Bad Boy's Sky", which seems to be a bland story. There are so many scenes in memory. It proves that Siren is correct again. A good film may not be defined as a liking before, during, or even after watching it, but you can get a lot from it.
As a film adapted from a real story, "Fighter" has created a documentary state in many parts. Combining with conventional film narratives, it gives people a sense of peeking behind the history, especially in the drama. The design not only provides a lens that can be used directly, but also allows people to experience the reality of the story. In such a film environment, Bell's exaggerated and pathological performance is surprisingly natural. To be honest, I don’t think Bell is a supporting role in this film. Although this seems to be a story about Micky Ward’s success, in the whole process, even in his solo ring, the two brothers are left behind. Therefore, in my opinion, Bell is classified as a supporting actor, just so that he can also get the Oscar without any suspense.
From the beginning of the movie star-like street parade until Dicky enters the prison, step by step reveals the once proud and corrupt life of the city. The barrier between the two brothers also pushes the emotions of the two brothers to the farthest. Dicky asks his brother to go to the stage for the money. In a boxing match with a small chance of winning, Micky gave up his elder brother from childhood in order to succeed. It is true that Wahlberg will always be the more righteous side, but in fact, the choices are equally selfish. If it’s just a stranger, it’s fine not to see each other again, but you are my important brother. I realize that the mistakes I committed have hurt you. I am eager to change and work hard to change, even if it is difficult for you to accept me again, even if you are by your side People detest me, and I will not turn my head and leave silently, because I know that sooner or later you will realize that we are an inseparable whole. So far in the film, it can be regarded as the only place that highlights Wahlberg as the protagonist. Lovers, mothers, brothers, uncles who care about him, and regular agents are indispensable for everyone, only the combination of all the strengths. Being together can give him the greatest motivation on the ring.
It is said that Bell also pulled out two teeth in order to lose more than 30 kilograms of weight in this film. Even for this kind of professionalism, it is enough to be respectable.
As for the supporting actress, although I haven’t watched any other nominated films for the time being, Melissa Leo is definitely more successful in shaping the characters in this film, so that when I saw the awards video, I couldn’t believe that Amy Adams could. At the same time was nominated. Of course, for a woman who thinks of a mother to play the role of a mother with a strong color, Melissa's innate advantages will definitely help her interpretation. It can be seen that a good script can make a actor.
As for Wahlberg, to be honest, his performance has never made a big breakthrough. I don’t know if it is due to his own character. He is too much like a good man with a little silence. As a husband, this should be an advantage, but as a husband The actor was destined to only sit in the audience and share the happiness of others.
The film is a bit similar to the Andachong sports drama that puts black elements into it, because behind those blacks are delicate emotions and a lasting love for boxing.
