i want to start with girl fight which i thought was awful compared to million dollar baby. the movie girl fight was based again once off anger which the film does a good job on just showing that this troubled teen has found a way to cope with her problems but at first no one thinks its right or OK so she ends up lying to her dad and steeling money from him to pay for the fighting lessons. From the first part of the movie Diana the main character has this protective state where she stands up for her friend that was getting treated poorly. at first you could of thought that she was just trying to fight but in the very next scene she does the same thing in the boxing gym protecting her brother who got cheap shoted in the ring. which the we can take away that she is a very protective person for a reason which then we find out later in the movie that her dad had beat her mom. I thought that over all the movie had bad acting also the punches didn't look real at all and the way the boxers moved was awful. on the other hand i thought that million dollar baby was a excellent movie.The actors played a huge role for this the fights didn't look fake like they did in girl fight the sound effects where better and over all the plot of the movie was a lot better. Clint Eastwood in my opinion makes the movies he is in great because he always starts off talking down on the person and wants nothing to do with them. But then finds his heart and begins to make them great in what ever it is that they are doing. Like the scene that he found out a girl was in his gym he nearly had a heart attack. one of the most powerful scenes of the movie i think is the scene he agrees to train her but after that he wants nothing to do with her and says " Then you can go off and make a MILLION dollars i don't care." She was also fighting for other reason then Diana in girl fight was when she was fighting she wasn't fighting angry she was simply fighting to win and make Frankie happy. Yes she did have some family problems but she didn't let that effect her in the ring and in the end of the movie we see her settle the family situation. the ending of this movie was very sad but it got its point across she had gotten what she had wanted and had saw the world like no one else and now she realized it was her time to go. This movie was an easy 10/10 when girl fight was a 4/10.

I don't think anybody else could of played Ali better than will smith his voice and the was he moved was exactly like the documentary. If i were to close my eyes i would of thought it was actually Ali talking witch is impressive. They made the movie like the documentary but picked out certain things to show a lot more than the documentary. In the movie they showed Ali being a player and cheating on his wife a lot more then they did in the documentary which i found interesting because it was like they where trying to get there point across that he was supposed to be this mean individual. He was just one of those fighters who loved them self a little bit more than anyone else he always made sure he was OK first before anyone else. I think the making of the movie had to be really cool because you had will smith playing someone who was still alive and can show him pointers and tell him how it actually happened.I found a video that many of you might enjoy and it is actually footage of the movie being made with will smith and ALI and its amazing to see all the deduction of will smith to actually train and break his back trying to get this movie right for the legend. After watching that video like i said you can see all the hard work that went on in the filming. Going back to the movie we saw a lot more of what went on the 6 weeks of the postpone after the eye injury in the "jungle" we also saw all the doubters in the movie like we did in the documentary and his own trainers and wife not believing in him. Thinking he was going to get killed. Now this has happened in every boxing movie we have watched when the person who isn't favored to win wins the fight but in this case you could say that all the movies we have watched could somehow be based off this TRUE story. In conclusion i think that this was a great tribute to the one and only Ali. 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 would like by starting off by saying this was a lot better than the last girl boxing movie girl fight. The actors played a huge role for this the fights didn't look fake like they did in girl fight the sound effects where better and over all the plot of the movie was a lot better. Clint Eastwood in my opinion makes the movies he is in great because he always starts off talking down on the person and wants nothing to do with them. But then finds his heart and begins to make them great in what ever it is that they are doing. Like the scene that he found out a girl was in his gym he nearly had a heart attack. one of the most powerful scenes of the movie i think is the scene he agrees to train her but after that he wants nothing to do with her and says " Then you can go off and make a MILLION dollars i don't care." and you see how happy she gets and can tell that she will do anything to win and make him proud. another very strong scene in the movie is when she buys her mom the house and is so excited to show it to her and her mom was like discussed by it. She said she would of rater have the money and said she wasn't thinking i think this was trying to show that no one ever thought she was good enough throughout her life. This is definitely another scene that Frankie wants to help her so much more because he believes in her and wants her to show people she can do it. Frankie shows it even more at the end because he was the only one protecting her and at the hospital every single day. by far the strongest scene in the movie was the one she tells him i cant live like this not after what i have done i have seen the world. telling him she wants to die. And you watch Frankie sit at the end of the bed listening not knowing what to say or do just telling her he cant. In conclusion this movie got its point across clearly to never give up and if you want something go out and get it.
This movie took a little different perspective then the rest mainly because the main character is a girl. All the other films we have watched have been about men becoming animals and crazy. But this film does a good job on just showing that this troubled teen has found a way to cope with her problems but at first no one thinks its right or OK so she ends up lying to her dad and steeling money from him to pay for the fighting lessons. From the first part of the movie Diana the main character has this protective state where she stands up for her friend that was getting treated poorly. at first you could of thought that she was just trying to fight but in the very next scene she does the same thing in the boxing gym protecting her brother who got cheap shoted in the ring. So i immediately knew that that was one of her traits shes will not let anyone close to her get hurt. Then throughout the movie we begin to realize that her dad had beat her mom and that she had actually a hard childhood. It was almost like she was a no one compared to her brother that her dad would do anything for her dad didn't have no respect for her in till the night he came to watch her fight. and it wasn't because he saw her fight it was because when she came home she beat the shit out of him and could of killed him. Diana then met this guy at the gym he she fell in love with as the movie goes on and both of them keep fighting they have both placed into the championship fight. And of course everyone besides Diana made a huge deal out of this saying its not fair she will get hurt and he didn't want to hit her because he loved her. But at the end of the day he just knew she was better and thats exactly what happened in the last fight she beat him. so the moral of the story was to never think you are not good enough if you want something go get it. |
