This movie is highly recommended because it's not really a sports movie or a wrestling movie, but a little-known behind-the-scenes look at the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) match, and it's a rare comedy, full of British humor, and showing the People have a theme that resonates: not everyone can be successful or realize their dreams, but everyone can find opportunities to develop their self-worth. No matter how hard the struggle is, they must not lose themselves and their families.
Dwayne Johnson supervised the film and acted himself, but felt that his acting was better than others. The few scenes left a deep impression. The film's laughs mainly come from the family of the heroine, British professional wrestler Paige. Because she was born in a blue-collar family, the whole family is basically from small places in urban and rural towns in the United Kingdom, and they are all rough people. They speak very casually and straightforwardly, with local characteristics. However, this is a huge contrast with the WWE world she later entered, a bit like Zhao Benshan's performance of the Northeast uncle who stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. And Vince Vaughn's tongue-in-cheek coach is also full of laughter.
On the other hand, the brother-sister duo starring Jack Lowden and Florence Pugh was rocked by the WWE selection. The selection of the younger sister disappointed the older brother who was unsuccessful. Jack Lowden's brother character is actually the most relatable character in the film, because most people can't achieve their childhood dreams and must be forced to face reality. That kind of loss and unwillingness almost everyone has experienced. But watching him slowly figure it out and find a suitable position to realize his self-worth in other ways will also give people a deep understanding.
Before this film, I didn't know much about WWE selection, so watching this film was eye-opening. It turned out to be similar to the selection of Victoria's Secret. It still depends on body, face, expressiveness and personality, and women are often limited by the audience's preferences. In one model, it gradually became a consumer product. The reason why the heroine's experience is worth putting on the screen is precisely because of her appearance, breaking the tradition and embodying the importance of "being yourself".
It's worth watching for both entertainment and inspiration. Especially for those who are struggling for their ideals.
