First of all, as a fan of christian bale, this movie made me pay to go to the cinema. All I can say is that I have no regrets. The most amazing thing about Bale is that no matter what role is given to him, he can capture it. From the opening of Dicky, who was interviewed on the sofa, his natural acting skills captured my attention. Although it's not the first time I've seen bale as skinny on the screen, when he really appears like this again, I can't help but shudder. You really don't take your body seriously. . .
The protagonist of the film is Dicky's younger brother micky, a lucky guy. He has a girlfriend and family who love him, and despite the serious estrangement at the beginning, it is finally resolved. Because they have a common goal: to make micky a world champion. With the unremitting encouragement and help of those who support him, Micky was able to return to the boxing arena to be crowned the king's crown. All the actors in this film can be said to have done their jobs well. But I have to say that because of the presence of bale, the acting skills of the other actors are more or less obscured. I can even feel sparks splashing out of the screen, taking into account the dramatic tension without being obtrusive. It's no exaggeration to say that this is my favorite show of 10 years. (Before this, colin firth's performance in and ryan gosling's performance in were tied for first place in my heart. These two are also my favorites~~)
Unlike micky, dicky has fallen from a former genius to an addict. At one point he nearly ruined his brother's boxing career after ruining his own. Day after day, he was under the contempt of passers-by, and even his younger brother lost trust in him. It's not that he doesn't understand these, but drugs can really slowly erode people's body and mind. But he has always kept his good side: he always cared about his family, otherwise he would not have jumped from the window sill of the "addict" house in order to avoid his mother. A child who did something wrong followed her mother and sang to her. After repenting, he got rid of drug addiction in prison and insisted on exercising, looking forward to returning home to help his younger brother train again. His persistence and tenacity are enough to move people. So when micky told him that he couldn't use him anymore, even though he was angry and sad, he chose to leave. What he did after that, you can hardly imagine that it was from the same person. Dicky lowered his posture, but achieved dignity, and thus had the best ending.
The most unforgettable scene is before the championship match. Dicky is still helping his younger brother to warm up before the match. The spotlight on the boxing ring shines down, and the whole world seems to be the only two brothers. And at the end, when the two brothers were interviewed on the sofa, Dicky swallowed hard with excitement.
Dicky is the absolute protagonist of this solo show. His forbearance, his remorse, and his transformation are the most beautiful things. At the final climax of the film, almost all the audience in the cinema had to stand up.
By the way, bale's pace and punches in it are beyond belief that he's just acting. . .

Finally, a quote from the movie to bale for such an unforgettable performance.

Micky: you're my hero.
Dicky: i was...i was.

No, you are.
