![]() This was interesting because it was our first documentary it wasn't really a movie. It showed the king Ali overcome beating someone that no one but himself thought he can beat. So in that case it was like all the other movies we have watched there were people who didn't believe in him or doubted him. I think this has been a huge key role in all the movies we have watched its almost like the fighters kryptonite. They have so many people that are close to them that don't even think they can do it and that's what pushes them to be great. But with Ali there was something different he knew he was great and had the most confidence out of any fighter he knew he was the best and didn't think twice about getting beat by anyone and that resulted in him never loosing. He also has this caring part of him he thought he almost had to repay his country that's why he hosted the fight there. I found it interesting that george foreman didn't think of ali as anything and said he would knock him out he underestimated him he said and that was the reason he lost. In this video below he explains that he thought that after that fight he had lost everything and he went through a very difficult time after that and almost died. ![]() I think that in result this shows what we have been seeing in all the other movies as well the boxers hit rock bottom and want death this is very sad because like George said they have money cars girls and all they care about and are brain washed about is boxing and there devastating times in the ring. and we see this in all the movies but this one hit it the best because it was in real life this was no movie it was a documentary about real professional boxers.

I also agree with your idea that support/lack thereof of the boxer is a theme weaved throughout the boxing genre. Boxer's are highly self-motivated individuals, but they also tend to have strong relationships with their communities.
