Boxing. A theme dear to the international cinema revisited so that they could make an interesting movie and at the same time the original company has become very difficult. And 'the theme around which The Fighter, directed by David O. Russell, however, goes beyond all expectations, skillfully combining the sporty side all the sweat and bruises to the personal / family more problematic and controversial.
The key is to take all the (perhaps) the most common stories of this kind of cinema and assisting them as two parallel lines from the opposite direction. Two stories that run close to boxing in a narrative in a simple but carefully managed. One, Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale, Oscar for Best Supporting Actor), forty-years-and drug addict, took his life (and career) and broke it thrown to the river after beating none other than Sugar Ray Leonard, one of the strongest and most famous boxers period. The other, smaller brother Micky Ward (Mark Whalberg), has instead an exaggerated hunger for victory, a bit 'to get away from the life of Lowell, a town in Massachusetts where they both live, a little' to redeem the disappointment suffered by the elder brother.
to clip the wings of "Irish" Micky Ward, however, we are just members of his family especially his mother (his manager improvised), sisters and Dicky, guilty of resting on the laurels of a great career and almost not being able to manage the talent and desire to make the new boxer family. The part of the movie where the viewer enters as the young Irish and feel the frustration and disappointment at the lack of professionalism and attention to you is the added value that gives the film lovers of the films of this genre; and Charlene is awesome as if by magic, the "girl in the bar next door (played by Amy Adams) which Micky fall in love, came to the rescue of the protagonist externalizing what he does not have the courage or the strength to sustain, namely, that to go forward without collecting too many disappointments must break away from his obsessive family.
Several other events will Micky from scratch, with improvised meetings and remedied by his new agent, until you get to play for the world title. Here again the importance of family affection on stage made tangible by the advice that as a child by her brother Micky learned and that brings with it meeting after meeting. The title match will be the excuse for a general approximation of the whole family and the opportunity to live together all the emotion that Dicky had failed to give.
"The Fighter is a story about family, love, relationships and the overcoming of adversity. It 's a story as powerful as exciting, " said Wahlberg. The star and producer, has insisted to take part in this project, perhaps because he sees himself in the position of suffering redeemed his character alive. In fact, the ring is merely a metaphor for the tough situations against which life moves us, face to face, and the challenge to everyone is perhaps not end up ko Or at least get up and leave after the meeting.
