A very wise old black man, always knows everything so well and understands everything. Tell you those philosophies and the truth of the matter. Tell you everything you confuse. If you can meet such an old man in your life, it will be a gift from life.
There are a lot of boxing skills inserted in the middle. For example, "Boxing is an unnatural sport, and its movements are usually the opposite. In order to make a heavy punch you have to take a step back." Such as complicated strides, or even how to deal with a broken nose.
It seems that these things are so appropriate in life. Andy said: If you keep retreating, you will launch the game. Isn’t life the same?
There are many stories in the movie, and the most profound ones are:
1. Reality
Ed said at the beginning, “Boxing is a cruel competition about dignity. While you defend your dignity, you also deprive others. Dignity." I don’t know if this is a mockery of fairness, God. Your success means the failure of others. This is the truth of the world. I remember I said that the darkness of the world is like impotence, it always exists, but people don't want to admit it. In fact, this is not darkness, but the real rules of the game.
In other words, this is an era of Matthew effect, where the winner wins everything and the loser has nothing. The rules of the game are like this. We will only remember the glory of those who succeeded, and we will not care about the pain of the losers. Reality always hurts our eyes.
This is not a fairy tale, there is no Snow White.
There are many things you don't want to see in reality, such as helplessness.
The big man Willie was excavated and trained for eight years. When the final key was to play the championship game, Willie abandoned Frankie, Frankie's dazed feeling when he heard the news, wrinkles on his face, and gray hair. Let you understand what is old.
At the end of the story, the helpless, painful, and paralyzed Maggie can only make people sigh and helpless.
2. Dreams
I don't know what price I need to pay for my dreams. I don’t know how much I need to pay for my own ideas.
And Maggie said, I am willing to give everything. She started washing dishes when she was 13 years old, working as a waitress, relying on the leftovers of the guests to make a living, her brother was in prison. Her father died. Her mother weighed 312 pounds. A hooligan and selfish family. She knows what she wants, and she can do anything to get it. She told Frankie that boxing was the only thing in her life that made her feel alive, and she was willing to gamble everything for dreams that others could not understand. At this time, I don't know how far away is the dream and reality for Maggie.
Frankie said: tough aren't enough. The same is true for success. Enthusiasm is not enough. You need training, you need a trainer. After spending three years training on her own, Maggie still can't play SPEED BALL. This is the most basic thing about training rhythm in boxing. So Maggie found Frankie: If you are willing to train me, I can become a champion. Yes, Maggie said, I don't need pity, I don't need help, I need a trainer. Frankie was unwilling at first. Because Maggie is 31 years old, this is too old for boxing. And he never trains women.
Because of Maggie's sincerity and Ed's help, Frankie finally agreed to train Maggie.
In fact, it proved that Frankie's training made Maggie's dream a lot.
In the first game, Maggie almost lost the game. Seeing this, Frankie saw Maggie’s question. "Every time you put your left hand down, she will hit it from above. That’s all for her head. If he does this, you will hide a step and give her a goodbye." Uppercut." Sure enough, Maggie knocked his opponent directly to the ground in the next round. After that is hard training, countless sweat, let you enter a baby-like state.
You must have no distractions, so tired that you have no heart to think about other things. Trained to feel everything is innate.
Frankie is actually a stubborn person. He didn't allow Maggie to question him. He would taunt his players.
During the adversity of the Willie game he had taken before, he asked Frankie what to do, "Let him continue to fuck you." When
Maggie was interrupted by the bridge of her nose, she asked Frankie about countermeasures during the intermission, and Frankie directly Say
"because she is a better player than you. He is younger, stronger, and more experienced. What are you going to do now?"
What else can you do after dreaming ?
In a brutal boxing contest, Maggie was attacked behind the vicious defending boxing champion "Lan Xiong", which eventually resulted in a spine fracture and paralyzed high position.
After being paralyzed, Frankie hopes Maggie can go to school. Maggie chose to die. After being paralyzed in her position, she asked Frankie to help her die: "After I have achieved so much, I saw the world. People chanted my name. But they cheered for me. I was in magazines. You thought I did it before. Have you ever had such a dream? I was only 1 pound and 1.5 ounces when I was out. I worked hard into this world. I would also play a world. That was the only thing I wanted to do. I got what I wanted. I got everything. . Don't let them take away from me a little bit. Don't let me lie here all the time without hearing their cheers. "
It seems that she can't draw up new value goals for her life.
I will never dedicate my life for my faith, because I may be wrong.-Russell
Maggie finally convinced Frankie. Maggie said to herself, "I think I did a good job."
Unplugged Maggie's breathing tube and injected an excessive amount of adrenaline. Maggie died, and Frankie chose to leave without leaving any message. No one knows where he went. Or maybe look for his daughter. Or find a place to find a moment of peace.
There is a poem by Yeats in the film "Innisfree Island":
Use soil and branches to build a small house;
I want to have nine rows of cloud bean racks, a bee nest,
listen to the singing of swarms of bees in the forest, and live alone Quiet place.
So I will have peace, and peace will come slowly.
From the veil of the morning sun to the place where the crickets sing;
there is a flash of light at midnight, the purple clouds are burning at noon
, and the wings of cardinals are flying everywhere in the twilight.
I'm going to get up and go, because I always hear and
hear the lake beating the lakeshore day and night;
I stand on the highway or on the gray sidewalk, and
I always hear the sound of the waves deep in my soul.
I don't know if Frankie can be found.
