This sentence appeared in the film Many times, "unnatural" and "backwards" have become synonymous with boxing. As a girl, I really didn't find anything good in boxing, because all I saw was the unstoppable blood and the entanglement of the competitors. Expression, this kind of scene seems to take me back to the fighting arena in ancient Rome. Cold-blooded, cruel people cheered on the side, ignoring the fears of the people on the field, the audience only regarded it as a wonderful performance, even if this at the cost of life. The people who love boxing are perfectly explained in the film "people love violence. They'll slow down at a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people claim to love boxing. They got no idea what it is." I thought, Whether there is a love and yearning for unnatural things in people's hearts, this yearning can make a person or destroy a person. People love violence because it's their way of venting, but they don't want to do it themselves and have to watch others attack each other to satisfy their spiritual needs. How scary this spiritual need is, but it is undeniable that everyone has it. It seems that we are never satisfied, but keep chasing the unnatural. In a civilized society, people still appreciate violence; in times of peace, some people yearn for the thrill of war; in times of worry-free food and clothing, some people choose to survive in the wild to understand the true meaning of nature... These are not Natural things always tempt people, and it is those who have a strong curiosity or desire to become a legend or an absurd existence.
Maggie is that legend. As a very old girl without professional training, she should bake bread, live in a log cabin, and live a free life, but she is not willing to live like this. She wants to pursue her own dream, an anti-natural dream - boxing. Beyond the limits of her body, beyond the twisted bones and bones, and forgetting the flowing blood donation, she forgot everything on the field and fought desperately. Gradually, she gained all the "reputation, money..." but she still couldn't win back the purest and most natural thing "family affection". In the film, she smiled knowingly at the little girl holding the puppy, full of joy. What a happy life, what a happy childhood. It's a pity that she's just trash, no matter how hard she tries, she can't prove her existence as a person. Some of the other people in the film are looking for something unnatural. The little man Daniel lives in his own dream world, making useless efforts for the unrealized boxing dream, and running around foolishly in an endless trek; Fran Gene lost his daughter's love for boxing and can only go to church every day to pray . There are also old boxers who lost an eye in boxing. These people are connected with boxing, and eventually lost the most natural and simple things in life because of this unnatural movement.
"Boxing is a cruel competition about dignity. When you defend your own dignity, you also take away the dignity of others." Maggie always wanted to be a dignified person, because maybe when she came into this world, she had already lost the dignity of others. dignity. People treat her as trash and never give her human dignity. The so-called relatives are a group of cold-blooded beasts who only know interests. She dreams of boxing because she can get dignity on the field. So, I saw the transformation of a strong girl, from a rookie who can't play pear ball to a winner on the field. But the sport is unfair. People cannot gain dignity by the sport itself, but gain their own distorted dignity by depriving others of their dignity. The old man lost an eye on the field because of racial discrimination, and Maggie also repeated the same mistakes and became disabled due to being sneak attacked. Perhaps this is revenge for depriving others of their dignity. Frankie once told Maggie not to beat her opponent in the first round. Because it's a ruthless deprivation of that self-esteem in people's hearts. Self-esteem, how high-sounding made Maggie disabled, how naturally deprived her of life. In the end, Maggie asked Frankie to remove the oxygen cylinder, also for her dignity. She can't stand being applauded by thousands of people to be empty. She has her pride, which is far more important than her own life.
The poem Frankie had been reading was Yeats' Innisfree Island, and there was a line in it that read "I'm going to get up and go." I saw his back, and he was looking for that "more than lonely" A more remote place", perhaps, just wandering and wandering in this world.
