A woman who is poor for most of her life, has terrible family relations, and is so lonely that no one can understand it. After 31 years of misery, how can you hit a beautiful punch at the end of your life? How can I still insist on loving what she loves even when I am about to become famous? The American dream in my heart has not yet come true, but I die before I succeed in my apprenticeship. Do I always insist on not abandoning and not giving up believing in medical miracles, or face failure calmly and die calmly in life? This movie is full of sadness, but it does not teach sadness! This movie is full of tears, but not to earn your tears! This movie is full of inspiration, but it does not teach people to succeed! This movie is full of dreams that never come true!
In fact, I haven't seen many sports movies, but I like them very much! Because the feelings and attitudes conveyed by sports movies are always positive, and they have changed the status quo through their own talents and efforts. It's like a bowl of healing chicken soup for the soul. Although I've had it a hundred times, I'm still willing to spend hours trying to taste it again.
The background of the story takes place in the era of the United States when you can only win if you dare to fight. As long as you dare to fight and dare to rush, you can realize your American dream, just like the boxer Willie who just won the championship at the beginning. And Frankie, the coach and agent of the brave boxer, is the hero of the movie. In addition to being a boxing coach, he also owns a boxing gym. Although he is a little older, he has a leisurely life. His boxer has just won the championship. It can be said that he can enjoy a comfortable and comfortable old age. But the life of this tough boxing old man is not so satisfactory. Due to his long-term dedication to the boxing career, the relationship between him and his daughter has been frozen for a long time and almost broke, although he insists on writing to his daughter every day. Letter, go to church to pray. But all I got was the letter that was returned intact. Later, boxer Willie also left him because of historical issues, and the old man was left with only his good friend Eddie, the cleaner of the boxing gym.
Let’s look at the heroine again. The heroine of the movie, Maggie, is 31 years old. She is a waitress. She has a terrible family relationship. The steak, and that little bit of talent in boxing, and a boxing dream! So she comes to the boxing gym every day to play punching bags. Hope Frankie can train her and be her coach. Although Frankie refused at first, Eddie, the cleaner, was also a former boxer and had no problem teaching the entry-level heroine reluctantly. It wasn't until Willie left Frankie that Frankie couldn't stand the loneliness and reluctantly agreed to be her coach.
Seeing this, I feel that everything is so familiar. This is another movie where you can guess the ending with your toes.
The development of the plot seems to have exceeded my expectations. It is not that she met an invincible opponent, but that she became an invincible opponent. After only two years of training, all competitions have been swept by the wind and clouds, and they are all KOs in the first round! The famed Maggie got the chance to challenge for the world championship, win or lose, $1 million. The world champion, furious at being pinned down, punched the unsuspecting Maggie in the back of the head during a stoppage, paralyzing him. I thought that a medical miracle would happen, but unexpectedly, due to long-term paralysis in bed, it caused bedsores, and both legs were amputated. But even so, he could not escape the harsh treatment of his family. Later, Maggie bit her tongue and failed to commit suicide. Frankie came to Maggie's side and unplugged her oxygen tube at the same time, ending her life. In the end, Frankie went with her.
There are many inspirational movies, even those with tragic endings. But I have to admit that Million Dollar Baby struck me like it took root, it was deep. No protagonist halo, no rebirth from ashes, no success, no Jedi counterattack. Some were just "Mocuishle" shouted by the audience, but the audience didn't know what it meant, until the end of the movie Frankie told her in front of Maggie's bed, it meant "my love, my flesh and blood" . But even the cheering of the entire audience is nothing compared to a goodbye kiss from the only coach who understands her, Frankie understands her as much as her father understands her. I can imagine what it would have been like if these two had not met, and Frankie continued to go to church every day to pray, and continued to receive letters that came back intact. Maggie continued to be a waiter, continued to eat the leftover steak from the guests, and finally found a man to marry, losing herself and her dreams.
The white boxer in the boxing gym in the movie who is as persistent as Maggie asks, "How do you put ice cubes in a bottle?" I've been thinking about this for a long time. Just break the ice cubes. Maybe this is what the movie is trying to express. People are like that ice cube, they need to be broken, they need to experience failure, they need to wander in a bottle, and finally they become one with water. This isn't a movie that teaches people how to succeed, it's a movie that teaches people how to fail. How to accept failure, how to face setbacks, and how to laugh at ups and downs. It was not that Maggie was unwilling to turn the tide, but when her legs were amputated, she already knew that she had lost the ability to pursue her dreams. She had found herself again after wandering for so long, so she chose to die calmly. From her background, she is unfortunate. But judging from her ending, she was lucky.
Weave that love and protection into a mantle that guards your lover. "Mocuishle" "My Beloved, My Flesh" Please go through all obstacles with that persistence. What is touching is that Maggie can still maintain her original intention in the rapids. She can leave Frankie as much as possible and choose a better agent. Because only lonely people can understand loneliness better. Only through suffering can we usher in glory, and only by wandering for a long time can we find yourself. Her self is "my love, my flesh and blood". But the truth is, most of us have never been ourselves.
