Description
The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.
How disgusting he is, some kind of frog man.
Jeremy Allen White is good! Actually, I turned on the movie for him.
Mike was very sorry, poor kid. He just wanted to be himself, to make music. The asshole dad just broke it.
David died in the name of his dad's ambitions, he didn't even give himself a chance to stop.
Everything was falling apart because of a crazy dad, and my mother was so weakly watching all this shit.
I liked the movie. Efron and his game are categorically not. He didn't pull it out.
And how quickly the first hour flew by, I just savored everything that was, there are graphics of old promotions and a primitive, but funny kind of wrestling fighting, now it's no surprise, Okada, Omega and Osprey now show such that I don't even know how they would be filmed in 50 years. It is interesting to watch the promoter's father and how he easily pays the price of losses and still strives for a dream, like a real sectarian. Even when his children are successful, everything is not enough for him and it seems the bar may be higher.
🤼♀️ Ironically, it seems that wrestling used to be regional, each state has its own promotion, and as if the competition should be high, but it's still a hard way, because the more a champion travels, the harder it is to get into a full clip. I'll have 100 fights with the champion in each state first, then we'll see. Who did not understand the system, there were no specific brand divisions before, there was a general NWA champion and federated champions, they were lower in the hierarchy than the NWA and for this reason there were often fights for two titles, and he rode tours everywhere, he could go into a small hall or a large one. The Makmen will change the business in the future and the golden era of WWF and WCW confrontation will begin, but this is a completely different story, although the brothers caught this period from the part, the picture did not focus on this.
As a result, there are a lot of loads, exercises and fights. For many, the word staging has become a stigma, the usual fall on the neck has become part of the image, people have forgotten that a person is still flying with his neck into the mats. How much drama has this brought to the world of wrestling, from leaving the business for years or suicides, overdoses and career burnouts, people give 110% of their strength
That's how prolific the first act was for me, at the second I would like to focus on the family and write about each of the brothers, because I saw their matches...
In the picture, we were shown the main triumph of the family competition in general, when they won the legendary Fabulous Freebirds and became triple tag champions.
In just 6 years of his career, David von Erich has become a significant figure, a real charismatic and a potential major champion of business.
Kerry Von Erich has always been my favorite, such a cheeky athlete, with one of the best matches of the 80s against Rick Fleur (who, by the way, was embodied in the film strangely and somehow unlike Fleur). There is nothing to say about Mike Von Erich, he was not loved and in general this business is not for him, the guy should have been given freedom in music.
Kevin Von Erich was just a workhorse, but without any ups, he was always somewhere in the middle and did not reach the big stars in any way. Well, I didn't even see Fritz Von Erich in action, they say that he was good, but then in the 60s wrestling was three times antediluvian.
As a result, turning to the curse, I had some questions, quickly moved on to chthony and shock was replaced by shock, from which I did not have enough timing for all this, even 40 minutes or more emphasis on the breakdown of the personality of men and the career crisis, otherwise they show us glorious moments, and then they combine quite a bunch, although all the terrible events spread over a dozen years, and the business, which developed at lightning speed, injuries accumulated, all this remained behind the scenes, and it was precisely such fundamental things that broke the legends. Ah, well, in any case, the actors pull out a non-trivial task and sit on the screen, giving answers to some questions.
The film clearly deserves Oscars - this is a real American film, with love, brotherhood, cultural popularization and honest conversation.
I'm not even surprised that I'll write so much about my favorite leisure time, so much text.
