The Fighter is a very touching true story of Dicky and Mick Ward, the legendary boxing champions of early 90's. This film tells the story of their family and their in differences towards each other.
Dicky Ward is already a boxing champion in a small town Lowell and his story is being recorded for a HBO film. He wants his younger brother to be like him. He along with his mother, Alice ward, manages Mick's boxing matches schedule. Mick is about to fight a boxer but when they reach the venue , the opponent turns out to be some other guy more powerful than Mick Ward. The result is Mick looses the fight and blames the defeat to elder brother and mother. What follows next is the family drama and how do they help each other in the time of distress.
The Fighter - Another true story well told along with a mind blowing performance by Christain Bale... this guy surely deserves an award for his role as Dicky Ward ...Hats off to the director as well for handling the subject so sensibly. Mark Walhberg also comes up with a fine performance supported by rest of the star cast. Overall , a great movie to watch ...
