The film is based on a true story in India and tells the story of a good wrestler who trains his daughter to become a world wrestling champion.
The results of the real people are like this:
Geeta Phogat: The first Indian wrestler to win the Commonwealth Games (2010, 55 kg) and the first female wrestler to qualify for the Summer Olympics (2012) Babita kumari: Gold medal in women's freestyle wrestling in the 55 kg category at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and twice at the Commonwealth Wrestling Championships (2009 51 kg & 2011 48 kg) Vinesh Phogat (cousin of Geeta and Babita): Won the gold medal in women's freestyle wrestling in the 48 kg category at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games Ritu Phogat (third sister of Geeta and Babita): Gold medal in women's freestyle wrestling in the 48 kg category at the 2016 Singapore Commonwealth Games It can be said that the Phogat family changed the history of women's wrestling in India. And all this is inseparable from the guidance and training of father Mahavir Singh Phogat.
In the film, his father, Mahavira Singer Perga, was a wrestling champion in India and was forced to give up wrestling because of life. Since then, he hopes that his son can help him complete his dream of winning a world-class gold medal.
But fate played a joke on him, and he got four daughters in a row. I thought that my dream was shattered, but I accidentally discovered my daughter's amazing talent.
He didn't want his daughter to have to wash and cook like other girls for the rest of her life, so he told his wife: Give me a year, if not, I will give up.
The father began to carry out devilish training for his daughter, and the two daughters could not understand their father, cut their hair short, could not wear skirts, and became the laughing stock of others, so they tried to resist, but to no avail.
It wasn't until they went to the wedding of girls of the same age that the bride's words changed their view of their father and their lives:
"I envy you, your father did this to you because he loved you."
He doesn't want you to be like all Indian girls, who are houseworked as soon as they are born, who marry and have children at the age of 14, who will have children for the rest of their lives. Only by becoming a wrestler can your destiny be in your own hands. Your father, in order for you to have your own life, did not hesitate to fight against the whole world and endure ridicule. "
The daughter understood her father's good intentions and began to train more rigorously.
The purpose of our father's strict requirements is to make us have a different life.
When I was young, every weekend, when my parents went out to work, they would lock me in the house, and I could only read books and write homework.
I remember asking my father the reason, I only remember a rough idea: although you were born in this village, you are also a scholar, you should not be like other children, do not go to school to herd cattle, you are different from them.
When I was young, I didn't understand why I was different from them, only that I couldn't disobey my father's orders, and that every family in the whole village except my family would raise pigs and cattle.
When I grew up, I understood my father's painstaking efforts, he was cultivating me in the way he thought was good, hoping that I could stand out.
Since we can't change the environment of life, then we choose a different way of life, as long as we can live better, even if it is criticized by others, it doesn't matter.
It is precisely because of the locks in those years that I have developed the habit of loving reading.
After entering the society, I have to bear all kinds of pressures, fortunately, I like to read, and this hobby has become my best way to decompress.
In the movie, in order to improve the child's wrestling performance, the father's method can be called "cruel":
Children are not allowed to eat favorite snacks.
For more concentrated practice, long hair is not allowed.
Even only boys' clothes can be worn.
Get up at four o'clock every day to train.
He also coldly pushed the child into the water on the bridge and told the child: You must rely on yourself, and Daddy will not come to your rescue every time.
These practices will undoubtedly only make the adolescent daughter more disgusted and rebellious.
When Geeta was training for the national team, her father's phone calls were repeated, and she either did not answer or dodged to cover up, and went home again, still with long hair.
The father looked at the child in front of him, felt that the child was gradually deviating, so he tried to teach Geeta a lesson, and the proud Geeta won, and felt that his father's move was indeed outdated, and a disdainful feeling appeared in his eyes.
The sister said: It is not obsolete, but the father is old.
Geeta disagreed.
At this time, the father, well aware of his daughter's prejudice against himself, had to pay attention silently, summarize the method, and wait for the child's return.
Finally, Geeta's vigor was repeatedly thwarted by her opponents, she was lost, she thought of her father, but did not dare to see him.
My sister said: He is our father, how bad can it be? Isn't it better to scold a few words, and which one is not the most useful for us?
Since then, Geeta has taken the initiative to cut off her long hair and focus more on training, remembering her father's teachings, and eventually returning to the original path.
At the end of the film, the daughter Barbita finally won the opportunity to represent the whole country in an international competition.
Her opponents are particularly strong, and she has always thought of her father in her heart, who is her mentor and her spiritual support.
But her father was locked in the room by the coach's prank and could not come to the scene to cheer her on.
The first few games, it was her father who taught her the skills to win, but at this time her father was not around, Barbita was not in the state, and the front was a continuous rout, until the last ten seconds of the game, she remembered a picture of herself drowning when she was a child, and her father stood on the bridge and said to her:
"You have to find your own way of Barbie Tower, your father will not always stand by to save you, the only thing that can save you is yourself."
Thinking of this, Barbita calmed down, used the technique of "sound east to west" mentioned by his father before, defeated the opponent, scored 5 points in one fell swoop to turn the situation around, and won the world championship.
When my father appeared, he said to her: You are my pride. Father and daughter embraced each other and wept.
Everyone who strives to achieve their dreams feels lonely on the road, but in fact, there are people who have been encouraging you to support you behind your back, and that is your parents.
Gorky said: "Father's love is a great work that shocks the heart, and if you read it, you will also understand the whole life." "
We always feel that life is full of fear, in fact, the biggest enemy is the fear in our hearts, and if we can overcome ourselves, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
The purpose of our efforts is not to become a world champion, but to have the ability to choose everything you want, so that the people standing next to you can make you proud!
Children who are "forced" by their fathers to grow up are very bitter when they are young, but when they become adults, they surpass their peers and get more opportunities.
