Introduction:
Some people will never appear again, and all their youth has slipped away and will never come back. So we can only be helpless like the game assistants next to the boxing ring, throwing towels and resigned to fate? Or wait for the last glimmer of light?
This is a film about dignity, forgiveness and dreams. Frankie Deng (Clint Eastwood) is old. He spent his old age running a small and shabby training hall in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Frankie goes to church for mass every week and argues with the priest. He insisted on writing to his favorite daughter, but she always returned it intact, so he put the letter carefully in the shoe box.
Frankie used to be an excellent boxer, and later he became a gold medal coach and a successful match assistant, until the boxing match 23 years ago ruined all this. At that time, he played his best boxer, Eddie dupre (Morgan Freeman), and he didn't give up for adventure and victory. As a result, Eddie fell in a series of heavy blows in the next bloody round. This tragedy became a nightmare that tortured Frankie for 23 years. He asked Aidan to manage the training hall himself. "Protect yourself, don't take risks" became what he repeatedly taught the boxers who trained with him. He refused to let them take part in the competition, so those talented young people had to leave.
The training hall went from bad to worse until one day, a mountain woman named Maggie (Hilary Swank) walked into the training hall. ...
Maggie, 3 1 year-old, female, comes from a Missouri town that doesn't even have a boxing training ground. She has nothing but a group of vulgar and ignorant relatives, but she has one thing left in this world: she knows what she wants, and she can do anything to get it. She told Frankie that boxing was the only thing in her life that made her feel alive, so she hoped Frankie could train her to be a professional boxer.
The initial answer, of course, was no, "You are too old, you are too amateur, and besides, I am not interested in training chicks." But everything was nothing in front of her determination, so she began to play sandbags silently in the training hall every day, and finally Ada saw her talent and determination. About a year later, Frankie saw it, too
After constantly provoking and encouraging each other, this unusual combination found that they shared a spirit, a courage to transcend pain and face loss. Maggie's talent and Frankie's experience soon made her a skilled boxer. Then, a challenge that needs more courage and strength fell from the sky and appeared in front of three people ... tea/text.
