The recent 2010 movie, The Fighter, is not one to be passed up.\u00c2\u00a0 Nominated for six Golden Globes and nine nominations is not false advertising; this movie is that good.\u00c2\u00a0 Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg), is kid brother to Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale) the once acclaimed boxer turned coke addict.<\/p>\n
Mickey, following in his brother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s boxing footprints takes the ring with Dicky as his primary coach claiming, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dicky has taught me everything I know.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Only after a fight that leaves Micky badly bruised does he begin to consider changing management.\u00c2\u00a0 This is not an easy task because his mother, Alice Ward (Melissa Leo) is his current manager.<\/p>\n
Based on a true story, the actor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s characters are based off of real people in life, and this realism makes the audience feel at ease and comfortable interacting with these characters on screen.\u00c2\u00a0 This parallelism between the viewer and the characters allows the audience to be emotionally vulnerable with the characters.\u00c2\u00a0 Humor, suspense, love, hatred, betrayal and suspense are all conveyed to the viewer through this parallelism.<\/p>\n
The acting is powerful because it feels so real and connected to the actual characters themselves.\u00c2\u00a0 Each character is respected in his or her own right, therefore a movie with many protagonists instead of one. \u00c2\u00a0The honesty felt within each character is what makes The Fighter a must see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
