The title is at least guessed: The Fighter is not just the story of a fighter (actually, more than one), but above all not only about the fight in the ring, the conflict in the broadest sense.
The center of the story concerns a former boxer, Dickie ( Christian Bale), who must train his brother (or rather, half-brother) Mickey (Mark Wahlberg ) for a meeting that should bring back after so long out of the ring.
would seem a simple film about boxing, but in reality what they fight against all of them? Dickie
We must fight against crack addiction that is literally consuming, and that gives him no small trouble.
Mickey has to deal with a family (and especially a mother) who does not hesitate to throw it into the competition out of his reach, and thus risk permanently cancel his career. And finally there is
Charlene ( Amy Adams), a young and attractive bartender who comes to disturb the atmosphere of this family already upset face despite his best to get along, and especially to stand alongside Mickey.
If there is anything that I left this film, it's the thought that sometimes we have to choose for themselves the right way to go, but we still need the help of others to continue. I know it's a bit 'twisted, but I can not explain it otherwise. If you watch the film you'll understand why.
A special note should be made to Christian Bale: its shape reminded me that a lot of "The Machinist", even if here is not so skinny. I wonder how he can stand it, especially after the two chapters of the saga Batman, and in preparation for the third. However
congratulations to Bale's interpretation won him the Academy Award for best supporting actor.
