The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale is an inspirational piece based on a true story of successful yet struggling journey in becoming a world renowned boxer. Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) starts off as an amateur fighter under the shadow and management of his older brother Dickey and mother. While the journey is filled with elements of heartbreak, drugs, jealousy, and disappointment through the ups and downs of a brotherhood and relationship with new girlfriend Charlene, Mickey reaches for the sky with a title shot that no one will ever forget. Through the trials of failing almost every fight and seeing his brother fall to drug addictions and incarcerations, the victory is almost hard to believe!
The movie’s suspense and various comical moments grant this film five out of five stars leaving audiences full of hope and optimism in their very own situations. Hopefully this film will be nominated for an Academy Award!
