PLOT Dickie and Micky Ward are two brothers, both boxers. They live in Lowell, a small town in Massachusetts where Dickie, the eldest, has become something of a legend for having knocked Sugar Ray Leonard. Now, however, Dickie smokes crack and is less polished but does not want to stop being the coach's brother. Which is also under pressure from the family. Alice's mother claims to be his manager, backed by the tribe of sisters of the boy. Micky is sent the fray in a meeting and from there gradually grows the desire to break free from a family far too heavy to bear. The encounter with the bartender Charlene provides an additional impetus to this separation. It will not be an easy path, and maybe it will not be the right one.
A title that The Fighter might be called perfect because this film is about a boxer, but yes it is mainly the history of a constant battle against a man who, for a misunderstood concept of love (both fraternal or maternal), choking hazard to Always personality. Micky Ward, born in 1965, arrived at the world title in the category of Light Welter in 2000 but that the film focuses on is the relationship with the environment, whether family or social, in a sleepy provincial town.
It was not easy, it must be said, go back to boxing after a major motion picture Cinderella Man and it is no coincidence that the first candidate to direct it was Darren Aronofsky who gave up to get behind the camera (looks a bit ') The Wrestler but remained as executive producer. It was not easy but the bet is won, albeit with a final very "American" as one might say Italy in the sixties.
David O. Russell is betting everything on the dynamics of the relationship between brothers and Christian Bale gives him in the role of Dickie, one of its most comprehensive interpretation and full of humanity. Accustomed to change his physical at will (remember the performance of The Machinist?) Goes even further this time. Him in the eyes, even when it is in the foreground, all the desperate need to be appreciated for what could be and was not in life. This going to the mat for Sugar Ray Leonard and others emphasize that many boil down to slip the ring. Quell'apprezzamento looks for in a Micky, as often happens on the square, was put on the ropes of life. In particular, a mother whose exuberant ignorance prevents you from understanding that the front is not possible realization of the broken dream of his eldest son but a man who needs to identify only the his way.
is in this painful path that Micky finds within himself the strength to come to an end that is pacificatorio and, as mentioned, too 'happy'. But the sign inside him has changed. Now that he is no longer being driven. Now he has to choose. Even against all apparent reason but with the ability to distinguish what in family relationships, and this is to eliminate ballast that, despite appearances, is a value.
