Every day, countless people repeat their daily routine and then die suddenly. In the last second of their lives, their thoughts were just, i haven't got my shot. Maiggie smiles and tears and she loses her breath and she must be saying to herself I did it all right Everything she wanted to do, be a boxer, she got the love of Frankie's father, Mo Cuishle means my love, my flesh. So she could smile and listen to Frankie read Yeats and talk to him about lemon pie and log cabins.
There are countless people in this world who have dreams, and then let their dreams and their bodies weaken and decay together until they grow old and die. All Maggie has is courage and perseverance, but she never gives up her dream. She reminds me of the guy who once told me, you should keep writing, you are a talented kid. But I was stubbornly trapped by my inferiority complex and dared not take the second step.
The movie didn't follow the usual routine, Maggie didn't stand up after tens of seconds, didn't win a million-dollar prize, didn't live happily in a cabin with Frankie. She watched everything about herself gradually disappear, watched the doctor amputate her legs, watched her body rot little by little. This kind of life has no meaning for her. She's got everything she wants, so she'd rather die than see it all go away. Frankie finally helped Maggie get her wish. Then he lost everything.
