At the end of the movie, Tonya's past glory on the ice rink is intertwined with her current embarrassment on the ring. At the moment she was knocked to the ground, she said viciously with a mouth mixed with blood: "And that's the fucking truth!" In my opinion, the truth here is not only about the scandal that caused a sensation in the world of figure skating, but also the huge impact of the environment on the individual that is difficult to change.
Tonya came from a low-class white family known as "Red Neck". His mother was rude and supported the family by working as a waitress. She is destined to have no way to have an upper-class aesthetic, no financial strength to customize performance costumes that cost thousands of dollars at every turn, and no way to focus on figure skating training (and have to work odd jobs to make money)... In the figure skating world, which is dominated by the elite class , which is simply ridiculous and out of place. So even if her skills are far superior to others, she can't win the love of the judges. They don't want this alternative red-necked contestant to represent the United States in the world.
Mother Lavona has experienced several marriages and has a violent personality. Dirty words, cigarettes, fists and feet are the things she accompanies her daughter the most on the way. It can't be said that she doesn't love Tonya, but her lack of expression and education makes Tonya insecure and eager to be recognized and praised. So, Jeff's "pretty" can make her give herself to him. Even the addition of his fists made her feel that it was an expression of his love for him, because her mother also "loved her" in this way. The violent way of getting along is wrong from the beginning, and it is doomed that this will not be a happy marriage. Broken family and marriage have also become a stumbling block in her career.
As for "fucking fat" Shawn, the pig teammate who drives the pivotal plot is probably the epitome of most people around Tonya. It is the origin, class, family, and marriage that drag Tonya farther and farther from the road to success.
It's not that Tonya didn't struggle with the environment. She questioned the judges, broke with her mother, broke up with her husband several times, changed her behavior, and tried to cater to the aesthetics of the upper class... Even after being banned, she still wants to go into boxing On the field, fighting in the spotlight.
The imprisoning of people by the environment is really difficult to change through personal struggles and efforts. But I,Tonya's biography of a failed figure skater, in addition to telling us the "fucking truth", may also want to show the tenacity of people and the environment, people and fate.
Even if you fail, you have to fight to the end.
