It was very harsh to hear it at first, and I used "I would rather die standing up than live on my knees" to motivate my soul that thought it was more positive.

For example, from "Nine and a Half Weeks" to "Wrestling King", who has the dignity?

But it stopped quickly—like Springsteen's voice, and the broken-legged dog and the broken-winged eagle tortured me to tears. When the singing ended, so did the tears—until Mickey won Cannes before it poured again—though the movie wasn’t at its peak, Cannes said, the award was for the actor, for the person.
