User Review:
Wicked outstanding film
, rated: 10/10
This is the film that David O'Russell and the cast and crew have
outdone themselves on. the best way to say it is WIcked outstanding. It
not only told the story of "Irish" Micky Ward, Dickie Eklund and the
family aspect but was a credit to the real internal and external
struggle of never giving up. "the fighter " does proper justice to the
hardworking ways and the People of Mass and Boston areas.
In this film , the title has a double meaning as not only being a
fighter as a boxer but speaks to many that in regular life that being
"The Fighter" success can happen if you put the work in. The story does
have strong female leads in this film that has never been shown in
previous boxing based films. It is a cross over to both worlds ( male
and female, Young and Old) and those that would usually skip a Boxing
based film as it is much more then just that.
I was at screening of "The Fighter" in the Beverly Hills theater with
Director David O'Russell and main Cast ( Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale,
Amy Adams ,Melissa Leo) The Director and cast show their love and
passion for this film and how hard they all worked to make this
possible in their very warm words and replies to the questions from the
audience. In all , a class group of fine professionals and actors put
their heart and soul into this one and I hope their efforts are well
rewarded when it comes time to nominate and vote for Oscars.
