With the closing ceremony, the Winter Olympics also came to an end.
To say that this year's Winter Olympics, the most popular is the two of them - Yusheng Yuxian and Gu Ailing.
A challenge of life 4A let everyone see the Olympic spirit, a sunshine confident and perfect enough to make people feel which door God closed for her.
After watching these games, Sister Tiao suddenly remembered this movie.
The sports biopic revolves around former American figure skater Tonya Harding.
She was the first American woman in figure skating history to complete Axel's three-and-a-half-week jump.
However, her life is extremely bumpy, and even deeply involved in scandal.
The film's protagonist, Tonya, grew up in a broken family.
She came from a poor background and has been dependent on her mother since childhood.
Tonya's mother was not a loving mother.
This woman, who looks cold as frost, is also arbitrary when doing things.
She saw that her daughter had the potential for figure skating, so she insisted on sending her to the training team coached by Diane despite the coach's feeling that Tonya was too young.
Little Tonya was also very competitive, and in just half a year, she won the championship at the age of four.
When Tonya skates, her mother watches her train.
However, the mother never said words of encouragement to her, but always hit her, cursed her, beat her with her hands, and did not let her rest even if her daughter wet her pants.
It can be seen that Tonya's childhood was very unhappy.
At the age of 15, Tonya met Jeff.
Growing up with the sound of blows, she met someone who praised her for the first time.
So Tonya defied his mother's objections and fell in love with Jeff.
After a loss, Tonya's mother once again spoke harshly to her, humiliating her on the ice rink like a clumsy fool.
They quarreled at the dinner table, and the mother, in a fit of rage, threw a knife directly at Tonya's body.
Because of this incident, the relationship between mother and daughter deteriorated again.
In order to avoid her mother, Tonya moved out to live with her boyfriend, and it wasn't long before they were married.
Tonya and Jeff had a great time, but her figure skating career was not so smooth.
Time and time again, Tonya felt that she had not been treated fairly, and in her opinion, some of the contestants fell down, slipped not as well as her, but got higher scores than her.
Tonya ran to the referee in a fit of rage and questioned, and the reply he got was that "appearance and clothing must also be counted."
Compared to the elegantly dressed little princesses on the field, Tonya did look rude.
The coach was kind enough to remind her, but Tonya couldn't listen to this at all, and directly fired Diane, the coach who grew up watching her.
Repeatedly frustrated, Tonya held her breath in her heart, she did not want to be a village girl who was looked down upon.
At the 1991 National Figure Skating Championships, Tonya was desperate to prove herself.
She riveted and did Axel's three-and-a-half week jump.
Tonya became the first female athlete in the United States to complete the action.
She made a name for herself.
Suddenly, she became a sports star who was loved by thousands of people.
Her temperament has also changed dramatically.
She left her husband, who was always abusive, but unfortunately, the success of her career made her mentality more and more inflated.
Drunk, uncontrolled, and neglecting to train, her grades are getting worse and worse.
At the Olympics the following year, Tonya made a serious mistake.
Her career plummeted, and Tonya, who had no savings, had to work as a waiter in a restaurant to make ends meet.
At this moment, coach Diane, who had been fired by her, came to her.
Diane couldn't bear to see such a good seedling fall, and she encouraged Tonya to return to the figure skating arena.
However, Tonya, who strives to do every move well, is still not favored by the referee.
The reason is that Tonya is not the figure of the figure skater they want.
For Olympians to represent their country, they need a positive image of the United States with a complete family.
To this end, Tonya did not hesitate to reconcile with her abusive husband.
However, things still did not move in a smooth direction.
On the eve of the match, Tonya received death threats.
They suspect that This is Tonya's rival Nancy doing something.
In order to help his wife, Jeff thought of a way to get his friend to write a threatening letter to Nancy and treat him the way he was.
Unexpectedly, his friend overtook things, and he directly hired someone and broke Nancy's knee.
The reason why my friend did this is just to make his idler who has achieved nothing more visible.
What's more, even the threatening letter that Tonya received was planned by this friend.
The unscrupulous behavior of her husband's friend completely ruined Tonya's future.
With the involvement of the FBI investigation, Tonya went from a hot seed player to a scandal-led woman.
Falling to the bottom, she hid at home, and what she never expected was that her mother, who had always been indifferent, would come to care for her.
Just when she wanted to seek a little comfort in her mother's arms, she found that her mother had only come to talk.
At the Olympics, Tonya's mood hovered on the brink of collapse.
She cried and put on makeup while preparing, and even when she got to the field, she still felt that there was something wrong with her shoelaces.
After some struggle, Tonya finished eighth.
And after the game, what awaited her was not applause, but a hearing.
She was eventually sentenced to three years of probation, fined $100,000, and barred from competing for life.
Eventually, Tonya, who did not want to be forgotten, became a female boxer.
Violence has long been commonplace throughout her life, and she is used to everything in the boxing ring.
She deeply understands that in American society, people need someone to love and someone to hate.
This is her life.
This sports biopic doesn't look positive at all.
Poor origins, tragic childhoods, wanting to be loved by the whole world but leaving a black history, all of this comes together to reveal the other side of the American dream.
I have to say that this movie is very powerful, especially the performance of the mother and daughter, which adds a lot to the film.
And the film's pseudo-documentary method of breaking the fourth wall also makes the film look more interesting.
From time to time, the characters in the film jump out and talk to the audience. This approach makes the personality of these characters more vividly displayed.
Figure skating is so beautiful, but the film really exposes its cruel side.
