Warrior - the underdog story.

will consider one of the best story month to date. since they no longer showing this in the cinema, i think ill write something bout it. watch it 3 time and it still doesn't get old. why? because it hits straight to the heart. talking bout experience. i suppose thats how good movie should be. the connections to the viewers. i would say its brilliant. with the cast like Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton most people would pass it off as they are non superstars. but unlike me, always in search of underground and less popular stuff. as they said :

'get out of mainstream, people get lost there'

Haunted by a tragic past, ex-Marine Tommy Conlon (Hardy) returns home for the first time in fourteen years to enlist the help of his father (Nick Nolte) to train for SPARTA, the biggest winner-takes-all event in mixed martial arts history. A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin. But when Brendan's unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other and the forces that pulled them apart, facing off in the most soaring, soul stirring, and unforgettable climax that must be seen to be believed. -- (C) Lionsgate

my version:
the story is about two brothers (Brendan and Tommy), who went their own way in life but had the same passion MMA (mix martial arts). as Tommy goes into the army after the death of their mum while Brendan went away and married his long time sweetheart. as the story goes, their dad was an alcoholic and just turn sober for the last 100 days. asking for forgiveness to Brendan for all the damage cause by him when he was under the influence (broken home, domestic violent and etc). but the damage is done and nothing really matters. being sour with the past, Brendan didn't even gave the chance to let the father to see any of the grandchildren.


as Tommy was running away from past that haunts him, he want to make it up to it by winning the Sparta Tournament (MMA). the prize money will be given to wife of his close friend back in the marines. the friend was killed and Tommy abandon his unit. he planned to work together with his dad but put their differences aside just to get things done. as they capture the turmoil surrounds them with the MMA background, this movie should not be missed.

all three individual is such strong characteristic and wont budge into others. they have that characteristic of a fighter. never give up attitude, fear motivated, determine, and have something to fight for.

my favourite quote
Brendan : you always go with the forth runner. never the underdog.

Frank Campana: Look at me! Look at me! Why are we here, Brendan? Why are we here? Are we here to win this fight? You tell me, 'cause if we're not, I'll throw in the towel right now. We'll get Tess and we will go home. You don't knock him out, you lose the fight. Understand me? You don't knock him out, you don't have a home.

till the next movie to top that... u might not agree, but its classic.
REALITY CHECK....!
