To all who have ever felt like they were fighting an uphill battle, for everyone who loves the feeling of redemption, anyone who has ever wanted to give up when things got tough enough for most to give up... The Fighter is the film to watch. I have been reading all the hype via Facebook, IMDB, Fellow Movie Bloggers, and other websites and I finally have given the film its shot. The fact that I was impressed is to say the least. As an American, we LOVE stories of underdogs and redemption. I don't see why other cultures do not feel this way as much as we do. Its heart warming and encouraging to see people come from behind, or out of nowhere, and be victorious. Being that this is a true story, only makes the story more compelling and motivational.
Mark Wahlberg plays "Irish" Micky Ward, a welterweight boxer from a small town in Massachusetts who wants to be the world champ. Family issues with his controlling mother, drug-addict brother (who is played tremendously by Christian Bale), an ex-wife keeping his daughter from him, and thankfully supportive girlfriend (Amy Adams) all culminate into a story that shows just what a person can do once they decide, FOR THEMSELVES, that it can be done. Great cinematography and a great cast of actors, both lead and back-up, create a film for all fans of Rocky, Karate Kid, Rudy and all the like to enjoy. See this one as soon as you possibly can!
