the meaning of struggle

For an inspirational film, after the theme is determined, it is probably difficult to expect any breakthroughs: as always, it is depressed to cheer up, as always, it is never optimistic to become a hero. Probably the routine of inspirational movies, that's it.

But no matter what you say about "The Fighter", it's a little new. There are two brothers. The older brother used to be the pride of the town, while the younger brother has been training under the older brother and has never left the family. Just watching my brother's increasing drug addiction, my brother's dissatisfaction was accumulating little by little, and finally broke out. The ending was of course predictable when both brothers started to get back to boxing.
The novelty is reflected in the fact that what happened to one person in the past is divided into two people, forming opposites, thus deepening the process of contradiction and resistance. Of course, such a split needs to be based on the performance of the actors, otherwise it will only be more powerless compared to a person's self-improvement.

Fortunately, the director found Bell. (A few words can be omitted below, because the Oscar's Best Supporting Actor has already explained everything)

I would like to say one more thing, how does the last battle achieve a counterattack in the face of adversity? This requires fighting spirit, beyond the previous fighting spirit. Thinking of the last words of the older brother who encouraged the younger brother, it is not difficult to realize that as an older brother, he pinned all his hopes on his younger brother, fighting for him, fighting for his family, and fighting for the whole town. So we saw the familiar explosion of the small universe... At this time, let's try to figure out the opponent: the opponent is often those who do not have so many causes and consequences, and are often a very "simple" opponent. At this moment when you need to rely on the spirit to fight, the fighting power of the battle varies greatly depending on the fighting spirit. The final knockout is also reasonable.

Whether it's "Huo Yuanjia" or "The Fighter", the last contest on stage is often no longer technology; of course, this does not mean that technology is not important, but on such a stage, when the two sides have the same technology, the competition is more Mental, emotional and spiritual power.
