ALI is Michael Mann's incredible take on the life of Ali. A hard task to do. Actually It's more of a harder challenge then most even think. name one person man or woman more well known then Muhammad Ali ? you can't. Ali was known the whole world over. the man was literally in a league of his own.
Ali's Story started in Louisville Kentucky He was born Cassius Clay. as a young man of 12 he had a bike his parents gave him stolen. Crying clay went to the police station to make a report. Being poor meant his parents had to sacrifice a great deal to get him that bike and he felt so ashamed that someone stole it. there a police officer named Martin took Clay to the Police gym .where he taught kids how to box . Martin figured that clay needed something. and almost from the start clay became addicted. That Gym took him to the 1960 Olympics where he won a gold medal in boxing. but upon his return home he found the gold medal meant nothing. the color line was still drawn Clay felt as if the medal made him a performing animal In trying to find backers to finance his professional career Clay found himself going hat in hand to rich white people or older fighters like Archie Moore. Clay being a unique fighter needed a unique trainer and met Angelo Dundee and began his rise to the Championship. Ali Shows us everything stripping Ali bare of his Iconic status and laying the human being bare faults and all. Will Smith gives the performance of a life time and for once he deserved a Oscar He BECAME Ali. This movie like its subject is captivating and entertaining. And like Ali it is a Champion movie.
