Hollywood legendary director

This narration is very cool and pretending.

On the seat, Quentin Tarantino twisted his body unnaturally, thinking about whether he could do the same in future movies.

In a few words, it creates an unusual atmosphere.

This kind of connection makes the movie seem particularly ritual.

I can vaguely feel the ridicule of the spectators who think they love boxing, but actually express their inner violence.

Especially when one person was knocked down by another, the blood was dripping, and the cheering noise became louder and louder, but it was very intriguing.

Thinking about this, Quentin subconsciously tilted his head and glanced at his good friend Robert.

Then I saw Robert staring at the big screen with interest, as if he was provoked.

interesting.

Lehman still has something to do with him.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his gaze returned to the movie.

The picture turns.

Came to a boxing gym.

The camera pans from the front door, facing the interior decoration, from west to east, sweeping the training ground, a group of students, and Eddie, played by Morgan Freeman, holding a mop and cleaning the ground.

Then, the lens continues to move.

Frankie Dunn, played by Eastwood, also came to the gym, and Eddie greeted him.

This lens language called perspective by the third person is still advancing the plot.

As Hilary Swank's Maggie wanted to get Frankie's training and was rejected, several characters appeared one by one.

A senior boxing coach who has operated a boxing gym with him for more than 20 years; a former boxer who later retired to work as a cleaning staff for the maintenance of the stadium. He is also Frankie's friend for many years, Eddie, and he first played. , And the victorious black boxer, Jay and Maggie who inexplicably want to become a female boxer.

After Eddie cleaned the ground daily, he found Frankie and said that a new student had arrived in the gym.

Frankie saw that it was the girl Maggie who was rejected by him.

At this time, she was practicing alone against a sandbag.

Frankie was puzzled because he didn't want to train a girl. He has been a boxing coach for so many years and has never trained a girl.

But Eddie said that there is no reason not to charge her training fees.

Maggie is still hitting the sandbag.

As long as the expert glances at it, she knows that she has never had any professional experience, even punching and footsteps are messy.

After that, a week passed.

Maggie still comes to the boxing gym to train every day.

Frankie was so annoyed by her.

Once again, he clearly stated that he would not accept female apprentices.

But Maggie still ignored her, playing with sandbags and skipping rope, and always practiced late until the boxing gym was about to close.

No one knows why she persists.

It was about to close again.

The empty boxing gym has long lost its anger during the day.

Frankie and Eddie are packing their things and preparing to close.

Not far away, under the bright incandescent lamp.

A girl is still practicing with a punching bag.

Either punch or sweep the leg.

Extremely focused.

The sweat on his body has already soaked his clothes.

Seeing Frankie about to turn off the lights again, Maggie repeated the previous proposal.

"Sir, do you want to train me? I can play very well and I will win the championship."

Frankie shook his head, "I don't train girls."

After getting the answer again, Maggie endured the loss and smiled.

He took the white towel that Eddie handed over and wiped it, and left the boxing gym alone.

Frankie thought, this should make her retreat.

Maggie left the boxing gym and walked down the street to a community.

From the surrounding facilities, it can also be seen that this is not a rich place.

Maggie lives here.

As usual, after greeting the neighbor on the door, she returned to her home.Interestingly, the actor of this neighbor is Nicholas Cage, and his cameo role is this humble passerby.

Turning on the light in the living room, Maggie went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

After taking a shower, Maggie changed clothes and took out a few broken steaks from her backpack.

Morgan Freeman's voice spoke coldly again.

The audience also got to know this girl who is quite a boxer.

"I once punched, and I saw some of my former shadows from her."

"That is a determination to bet everything for dreams that others cannot understand."

"She is a poor child."

"At the age of twenty-seven and eighty, I am not married, and there is no family of my own..."

Maggie is a girl from a remote town. She usually goes to a restaurant as a waiter.

She doesn't have much money, and the rented house already requires most of her salary. In order to maintain training, she often picks up leftover food from others when she is packing.

This is why the room is very shabby and cramped, but her dinner is a few steaks.

They were collected secretly when she went to work during the day.

But there is no way, the physical training in daily life requires her to do this, otherwise the body will easily collapse.

Seeing this, many people still don't understand her stubbornness.

Choose boxing instead of finding someone to marry well, or work hard, and instead stick to it.

Maggie actually didn't know why she insisted so much.

Maybe she just wants to bring some changes to her unchanging life.

So she still insists on training every day, hoping to impress Frankie.

But Frankie's attitude was still that firm.

Only Eddie watched her silently and encouraged her.

In his view, if there is any trick in the world of boxing, it must be the unremitting fighting beyond the limit.

He admired Maggie very much and thought she was that kind of person.

In the movie, the story continues.

But Quentin was lost in thought.

Lehman's skillful grasp of rhythm and sophisticated clue processing, slowly shaping the characters step by step, and the advancement of the plot are always so detailed and appropriate, not losing sight, nor straightforward to boring.Very surprising.

What is even better is Lehman's clear intention. In the narrative process, one or two small details can often be used to polish both the character and the story.

For example, after training, Maggie never forgets to practice dodge pace when walking on the road. In the eyes of some passers-by who see neuropathy, she still does her own way. For example, even if the training is hard, she still holds great enthusiasm.You can know from her emotions that boxing is what she likes.

Even if Eddie simply corrected her punching posture, Maggie could smile and thank her from the heart.

To be honest, seeing such a hard-working girl makes people feel good.

An inexplicable and comfortable viewing of movies is very rare for works of the same type.

Also at this moment, Quentin suddenly admired Lehman.

For a director, nothing is more convincing than works.
