This film is the 28th film directed by Clint Eastwood, and his ability to interpret and tell stories need not be proved to the world. This time he directed and acted, including film music. Eastwood claimed: "Boxing plays an important role in the movie, but the movie is not about boxing, it is a story about love ..."

Life is like a 70-year boxing match, full of dodging and punching. If you are lucky enough, you only need one chance and one punch, but the first condition is that you have to stand tenaciously, just like Ricol's famous saying: "Without victory, persistence means everything." In the past 23 years, Frankie Deng's life (played by Clint Eastwood) has consisted of two mechanical things: training boxers and going to church for mass. He writes a letter to his daughter every week, but the results are all returned. Because of his daughter's estrangement, Frankie shut himself in the crowd for a long time. His only friend is Eddie (Morgan Freeman), a retired boxer nicknamed "Scrap Iron", who helps him look after the training hall. Years ago, Frankie watched Eddie lose an eye in the game and couldn't stop. Regret has been entangled in Frankie's inner world, so he doesn't want to watch the boxers fight for the championship. Although he has been training boxers, his heart has long since retired. Until one day, a woman named Maggie walked into the gym. ...

This film is full of warmth. The affection between the unsmiling coach and the young female boxer who keeps chasing dreams. Coach Frankie was never forgiven by her daughter. Maggie, on the other hand, is a child abandoned by an indifferent family. It is true that the father loves his daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't be with her all day after she was injured. The daughter also loves her father. Otherwise, she wouldn't be watching him sadly, even saying that you don't have to accompany me every day.

In this world, affection is the most unconditional, but also the most substantial and prosperous. It is the deepest and most difficult to repay. Obviously, Maggie's mother is not close to her, she just wants to do her parenting duty. Maggie's coach Frankie is a real family to her. These two unrelated people have forged deep feelings in this seemingly violent and bloody boxing sport. This is an ordinary and simple affection, this is a simple and warm affection, this is an unforgettable affection, this is to let people put aside all affection. Is the most selfless love in the world. Irrelevant interests. Nothing to do with the future. Even, has nothing to do with life and death.

"Many people will feel that their dreams have not come true before they die. And Maggie, it has been realized. " This sentence made Frankie more determined. Yes, although Maggie lost the game, she got the love of boxing fans, the coach and herself. She got a wonderful process to realize her dream, got all the essence of her dream, and she has entered the door of her dream. These are more important and precious than winning or losing, and can go beyond the limit of life and death. That night, Frankie came to Maggie's bed and told her that I would take off your respirator and give you an injection. Then you will sleep. You can feel heartache. At that moment, Maggie shed tears. It doesn't matter whether you are happy or not. Because Frankie gave her the most unique and rich love. So, he won't let her suffer any more. He unplugged the ventilator tube wrapped around Maggie's neck, injected her with a lot of insulin, let her sleep in the warmest and heaviest love, and let her sleep behind the door of her dreams. He kissed her panting face and watched the lines on the instrument turn into a long straight line. Then, he left the hospital with all the empty sadness and pain. But, Maggie, she is free at last. Frankie has a long way to go in the future, and more boxers need his teaching and training. He knows that he wants to give them the best, love. Good luck, Frankie. Good night, Maggie. Have a good dream.

3. erin brockovich

Highlight: This film is adapted from a real historical event, and Julia Roberts won the best actress in 200 1 Oscar for her wonderful performance in this film.

Chinese title: erin brockovich

Irene Brockovich

Director: steven soderbergh

Starring: julia roberts, albert finney

Synopsis: If the film title ErinBrockovich is translated literally, it is the Biography of Erin Brockovich. Irene Brockovich is a single mother with no legal background. She went through hardships and won the largest civil compensation case in American history with the courage and perseverance of erin brockovich, amounting to $333 million. Although the title of this film pays tribute to Irene directly, the Chinese translation of "erin brockovich" is more pleasing, with less tribute, but full of persistent spirit: success requires perseverance. This film is an exciting one based on real events. Starring two-time Oscar nominee Julia Roberts, she plays a twice divorced mother with three young children. When she met something unusual, she bravely stood up and fought against it, and finally won.

Irene Brockovich is an ordinary woman with no money, no job and no expectations. In an accidental traffic accident, she met Ed, an old lawyer, and was able to work in his law firm. At work, Eileen was puzzled by the medical records of a real estate, so she began to inquire about related events and persuaded ed to join the investigation. During the investigation, she gradually discovered a covered polluted water source, which caused a series of hazards and diseases to local residents.

Although the residents initially did not cooperate with Aileen's investigation, Aileen finally moved them with her perseverance and sincerity. She mobilized 600 plaintiffs to unite, overcame the unequal difficulties, won the lawsuit, and won the largest compensation in the history of American litigation-333 million US dollars. This incident made her prove her worth and gave him a new life. ...

In an era when heroes are scarce, Irene Brockovich's story is shocking, wonderful and a little rebellious. Irene (Julia Roberts) dropped out of high school before finishing high school. After two marriages and three children in succession, when love was frustrated, her career capsized and she lost a personal injury lawsuit that she was determined to win in a short time. Irene's life experience is really gray to the extreme. Out of sympathy and guilt, Ed Masli (Albert Fini), a lawyer who failed to win the case for her, asked her to do some secretarial work in her small office. If it weren't for a seemingly insignificant sewage complaint, Irene's life would probably be so miserable. Driven by pity, Irene came to the small desert community involved in the sewage case and was horrified to find that the sewage was rich in serious carcinogens, while Pacific Gas&; Electrical is perfunctory about this. After returning to the office, Irene persuaded Ed to take charge of collecting evidence and began a difficult investigation. At first, local residents were skeptical about her without any legal background, but Irene's frankness and sincerity influenced everyone day by day. Finally, 600 plaintiffs entrusted Aide Law Firm with full authority to represent their demands. With the spirit of humanity and tenacity, Irene and Ed have just won the highest amount of compensation in the history of direct litigation: $333 million. In the process of running for the lawsuit, Irene rediscovered herself, and her beliefs changed greatly in her new life.

1996, Roberts also starred in a movie named after the real name of the character, but the bad movie about the orphan girl looking for a relative was plain and vulgar, and she also appeared to have no temperament in it. In the end, the box office failed, which made her star path more and more bleak for more than a year. She didn't find the feeling until the light comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding". Maybe there are lessons from the past. After the shooting of Irene Brockovich, Roberts encouraged the writers to find another title. Strangely, he can't do it, or he can only use the original title of the character as a gold-lettered signboard.

Irene Brockovich was filmed in California, and was produced by the Jersey Film Studio in danny devito. Universal Pictures chose steven soderbergh, who became a hot topic in Hollywood because of last year's black comedy Out of sight. He really took a fancy to Soderberg's unique way of expressing common themes. Because the whole material of Ai is quite similar to john Travolta's Civil Litigation (that is, Law Enforcement Mountain), and the audience of court drama is not as good as before, the shadow of "civil litigation" has not completely disappeared from people's minds, so Universal Pictures chose Roberts and Soderberg to cooperate and take an adventure. However, Robert and Soderberg dare to undertake such a drama with uncertain future, if it is not the artist's creative impulse, it can only be attributed to their great confidence in their personal strength.

The script of Ai is quite satisfactory. The first screenwriter, susannah grant, participated in the creation of Romance in the Wind and The Legend of the New Cinderella. Richard Lagvinis, the second screenwriter, also created two acclaimed works, Living Loudly and Bridges of Madison County, which provided a good literary foundation for the film.

Ai also brought together veteran actors, such as Allen Eckhart (Nick on any Sunday) and Concorda Farol (Bognis in Heaven and Earth). Although this film belongs to the drama type, it was rated as R by the American Film Association because of too many rude words. During the small-scale screening, the audience thought that although there were few conflicts in the scenes, the film production was generally generous, and the court drama was particularly skilled. In contrast, several ambiguous scenes deployed during this period are weak. Irene Brockovich tried to overcome the fetters of numerous clues and heavy stereotypes, and completed the missionary theme in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

4. "Piano class"

Highlight: A nearly perfect female inspirational film won three awards at the 1994 Academy Awards: Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.

English title: Piano lesson

English title: piano

Director: jane campion

Starring: Holly Hunt, harvey keitel and anna paquin.

Synopsis:/kloc-New Zealand in the mid-9th century has beautiful natural scenery, rich mineral resources and cheap labor. Groups of colonists crossed the ocean to realize their dream of getting rich. Ida, a Scottish woman, is a handsome and introverted little woman. She can't talk and has a 9-year-old daughter, Flora. Ida obeyed her father's arrangement and married Stewart, who was far away in New Zealand and had never met before.

The boat took them to the desolate beach in New Zealand, and Ida and Flora waited for Stuart to pick them up. They have only simple luggage, but a dark piano. Stuart came to meet Ida with a group of natives. Because the road was difficult, he decided to leave the piano on the beach.

Ida missed her piano, so she turned to her neighbor Baines and asked Baines to take her and her daughter to the seaside to watch the piano. When they came to the seaside, Ida jumped on the piano eagerly and began to play. Flora danced to the sound of the piano. Baines looked at them silently. He understood Ida's heart from this shocking music and fell in love with her. So he offered to exchange his 80 mu of land for the piano on the beach. Stuart was very happy. Baines asked IDA to give him piano lessons, and Stewart readily agreed. Ida didn't agree to the deal at first. She thinks Baines is a clown and doesn't deserve to touch her piano, but she has to agree under Stuart's intimidation. In order to play the piano, Ida goes to Baines' cabin for piano lessons every day. Flora plays with a dog outside. Ida focused on playing the piano, but Baines didn't practice, just looked at her obsessively. For him, taking piano lessons is a wonderful enjoyment.

Baines knew that Ida wanted to have her piano again, so he offered her a "swap": he did something to her while she was playing the piano, and if she agreed, he would press one key at a time. Ida agreed. For Baines, this is not a simple game, but an expression of lust.

Stuart asked Ida Baines how she played the piano. Ida just smiled, and Stuart, who had no idea, was satisfied. In the long-term contact, Ada and Baines' feelings are growing day by day, but they are discovered by inexperienced Flora in a naked confrontation. Flora told Stewart that she didn't understand why her mother always taught the piano, why Bo never played, and why she sometimes played and sometimes there was no sound, so Stewart was a little skeptical.

Because Bob loves Ada very much, he decided to give her the piano he bought from the land. At first, Stewart thought that Bo had changed his mind. Ida, who doesn't teach Parker piano, has long been used to having Parker when playing the piano and fell in love with him. So she decided to go to Bo. But Stuart found out. He boarded up the doors and windows and put Ida under house arrest. The next morning, Stewart took the board off the window again and told Ida that he trusted her, so he went out to work. When Ada gave Baines a token, she was found again. Stuart flew into a rage and lost his mind. He cut off Ada's finger. However, Ida can't be persuaded, which may be a force of will. Stuart finally gave up completely. He came to Baines' cabin with a gun and asked him to take Ida away.

Everything will be fine. All shall be well, jack shall have Jill. Baines left the island with Ada, Flora and the piano. On the ship, after fierce ideological struggle, Ada finally decided to give up this piano, which symbolizes her heavy painful memory, and she lifted it to the sea.

Baines and Ida formed a happy family. Ida makes a living by teaching piano. Baines had a silver finger cuff made for her. Whenever the silver finger sleeve collides with the keys of the piano, it will always make strange sounds, blend into the beautiful and harmonious notes of the piano, and create another perfect melody. Ida began to learn to speak gradually, but her voice was terrible. She just talked alone in the dark and poured out her heart.

Jane campion's Piano Lesson is a nearly perfect female film. The so-called women's film means that it shows people that it is no longer the confrontation between women and men in the secular sense, but a process in which a woman with independent heart and self-sufficient spirit reaches reconciliation with reality after struggling. If you like, you can also see it as a growth movie. The growth mentioned here does not mean the youth growth from the juvenile world to the adult world in the usual sense, but the process of how a mature person and a mature woman seek balance in the conflict between the living environment and the spiritual world in order to obtain inner peace. The film sets the environment as a claustrophobic and desolate island, just to settle everything down. On such a stage, there is no sound, only melody, and everyone is silently bearing it, but after turning the struggle into helplessness, they are intoxicated in the dance.
