Hollywood legendary director

Filming and watching one's own performance are two different things.

In fact, Hilary Swank was stunned when she saw her role as Maggie come out.

My thoughts flew back to the past, the boxing gym that was selected, trained and built by director Lehman...

It's all past.

She has never seen a film before, and since the end of the shooting, she left the group.

On the contrary, now, looking at the big screen, there is a strange sense of familiarity.

Obviously, I have experienced it when shooting, but it seems like an outsider.

Looking at it again, it reminded her of the beauty at the time.

Perhaps this is the charm of acting.

To devote yourself to the story, to withdraw from the story, but also to have great expectations for the story.

The camera turns.

Maggie came to the boxing gym again.

After greeting Eddie, he warmed up silently and started skipping rope.

It is the afternoon, and many people come to train in the gym.

Most people just use this as a pastime, or physical exercise.

Frankie was seriously instructing a black guy on the sidelines. He was the most talented fighter in this boxing gym and the one who won the boxing match at the beginning of the movie.Jay.

Jay came today to discuss the championship game with Frankie.

He thinks he has enough strength to challenge the champion gold belt.

But Frankie is conservative. He thinks that he should wait until the time is ripe before going to the competition.

For this reason, the two had a big fight.

Jay is a child from a poor family. He dreams of playing championship games and winning prizes.

He thinks he is young and strong, and can make more money at this time.

So, one night, he ran to Frankie's house, after discussing again to no avail, he went to another agent's banner.

The most powerful apprentice is gone, Frankie looks like nothing happened, but he feels a little uncomfortable inside.

The reason why he didn't let Jay participate in the championship game was because he had seen too many precedents of rushing to make money and becoming famous, which defeated his career.

He didn't want to take risks.

But my friend Eddie doesn't think so.

He questioned: "You do this because you don't believe Jay."

Frankie was a little upset, "I dug him up and trained him for 8 years, so I don't believe him?"

"You should have asked him to play in the championship two years ago. He has the ability to compete. I'm surprised he can stay so long."

"Challenge and win the boxing champion gold belt are two different things, what can I do? Push him out, let him fight, and then fail? That is to let him die. I won't do that.

"You are blocking him from challenging the champion, he is only one step away."

"I'm protecting him." Frankie was a little excited.

"This is not protection."

Hearing the retort from his friend Eddie, Frankie mocked: "Then what about you? What did your agent do? You are also very capable. He hurriedly asked you to challenge the champion. What did he get? Only eye? Can't punch anymore?"

This is very hurtful.

The scars in my heart were lifted, but at this moment, Eddie was still very calm, "I have tried at least. I fought hard, everyone can see."

"So what? I don't want my boxer to ruin my career. For the rest of my life, I can only live by cleaning other people's saliva."

A few days later, the championship game began.

Relying on his excellent hard power, Jay froze his opponent directly in the third round.

Frankie was watching the boxing match at home, and he suddenly realized that he was indeed too conservative.

But with his character, he would never admit it.

Then he saw Maggie again.

This 28-year-old girl is still insisting on training.

As if touched, he tried to talk to her for the first time.

The composition at this time is very interesting.

Frankie hid half of his body in the dark, and the incandescent lamp above his head clearly illuminated Maggie.

The girl laughed, and frankly played homework.

Slowly, Frankie's figure became clearer and clearer, symbolizing that he gradually began to accept Maggie.

When he finally agreed to train Maggie, the small space of light and shadow accommodated two people.

This kind of shadow and brightness produced by lights to promote the transformation of the characters' hearts is very clever.

The light source is concentrated in one place, and the other places are slightly dim.

Regarding technique and scheduling, it is really good.

Anyway, Quentin is below, and it is very comfortable to see.

The advancement of the plot is also very smooth and not abrupt.

Originally thought it would be a cliché to impress Frankie with Maggie's serious attitude, but never thought that it was Frankie himself who broke through his defenses because of Jay.

Soon, the plot entered the second stage.

Maggie began training as a regular boxer under Frankie's guidance.

She doesn't have enough stamina, but she is very explosive.

This kind of training scene, Lehman did not use most of the pen and ink to color.

In a montage way, in almost 7 minutes, the growth of Maggie was told.

Not only does the posture become more formal, but the body shape is also better.

Between training, Lehman inserted another dark line.

That was the letter Frankie sent out was returned again.

Quentin was also thinking that Frankie with this character would be a ghost if he could handle family relationships well.

Therefore, in the day-to-day training, Frankie unconsciously injected some father and daughter emotions.

A few months later, Maggie consciously practiced well, so she was naturally eager to try it out in the competition.

Frankie agreed.

But because of Jay, he found another agent for Maggie to take her to the game.

He was afraid and hesitated, causing Maggie to waste his limited life in the ring.

She is older and the golden period of boxing is shorter.

And the agent who got it doesn't care what the boxer's condition is, as long as he participates in the competition, he has the money to get it.

So soon, he arranged for Maggie a boxing event for the women's group.

Although Maggie wondered why Frankie refused to take her, she was still happy to be on stage.

She thinks that her life is a failure, but even a loser like her wants a moment of shining.

When she returned home, she rarely said a few words to the neighbor on the opposite side, and invited the other side to watch her game.

But the man refused.

"I don't like boxing."

Maggie didn't take it seriously, but on the day of the game, the neighbors still went.

In the small venue, apart from the coaches and staff on both sides, the real audience was the neighbor.

The two fighters on the stage are not well-known, and no one cares whether they win or lose.

But they care very much.

The game was very anxious.

Maggie has no experience on stage, and usually only fights against some apprentices. When she really enters the game, she still feels uncomfortable.

The female boxer on the opposite side is younger and more stamina.

In the first two rounds, even if Maggie competed for the first time, she still played against the opponent, but could not knock down the opponent.

She is very defensive and resistant.

In the third round, the woman began to exert her strength, but Maggie gradually lost her support...

This is her weakness. She is getting older after all, which is why Frankie hesitated at first.

Although he himself has never taught a girl is also a reason.
