Speaking of director David O. Russell, the most successful thing in this filming is the choice of actors and a large number of group scenes. This is also thanks to Melissa, who has strong acting skills, who grasped the direction of her heart in the family drama and the chaotic dialogue of several daughters, and portrayed a mother very emotionally among the two sons. It is not easy. Although Adams did not have many roles this time, she showed her attitude towards the Micky family vividly and brilliantly while dealing with her love and sustenance for Micky. The supporting characters in this play are so strong that Mark Wahlberg, the lead man, plays a little tight and can't let go. In the face of Christian Bale's powerful acting outburst, Mark, the leading actor, is somewhat unworthy of his name. It is said that Bale is really eye-catching. From the introduction of him at the beginning of the movie, to his depraved posture and bohemianism, as well as his gorgeous acting skills in prison and the back figure of persuading Adams and later loneliness, he completely played the role of Dicky.
Let's talk about the movie, the fighter, everyone in the movie can give this title. Micky needs to fight, for a big family, for his beloved girlfriend, and for himself, who is no longer small; Dicky needs to fight, he must realize that his glory no longer exists, and his life will fall into hell if he is not saved The abyss will also affect the family that still expects him; Amy Adams needs a fight, not only to free Micky from his mother and brother who are dragging him back, but also to save him from a wrong step in college; Melissa Lee Ao also needs a fight. In order for the two sons to get on the right track, the fight for the family initiative, although it seems a bit irrational, also reflects the mother's protection of the family and the protection of her own children.
Although the ending of the film echoes the beginning, it is a process of succession, a process of rebirth. However, it always felt a little too short. The portrayal of the characters and the psychology of the movie are in place, but in terms of the plot, the highlights are not reflected, and they are somewhat mediocre and plain. Just relying on the outstanding performances of several actors still cannot give excellent results in the film as a whole.
