Plot:
Just the life of the biggest boxer who ever lived - Muhammad Ali. Cassius Clay (Ali didnt like this name his parrents gave him, becouse Clay was the name of a man who held Alis grandparrents....and so on... in slavery...) was a boxer, not very famous one until he managed to win the world title. After that he turned to islam and took the name Muhammed Ali ! But then, the fu*king americans started the war with Vietnam and that was the reason Ali lost everything. Coz he SAID what he thought, as he always did, not what he "schould say". He REFUSED to go to Vietnam and kill innocents, just becouse someone toled him to. He said that not the Vietcong or no one other is his enemy, but the US government. Wow, that man had personality ! He was judged(dunno if this is the right word) for 5 years in prison and he must stop professional box, that he LOVED more then everything else. From that point on, the movie showed Ali fight his own war against everyone till he become what we know he was - the worlds greatest boxer !
Short review:
as i have read somewhere, this movie is not famous and it did not make loads of money. That is probably becouse it is NOT a normal Hollywood movie. Ali is not a superhero, he is not perfect (like for example Rocky) he is a normal man, with "errors" and everything. That is the most important thing in the film i think! The music is really good 2 and the last fight, was just awsome !! I dont care that on imdb the movie got only 6,4/10 and was considered boring, coz those ignorants are probably US americans, who were unable to find a national hero in the film. The film is just great, and Will Smith played Ali PREFECTLY !!!! I knew he was a great actor, but this time...man...he was AWSOME !! If you wanna see a great non-action movie this is a must see !
Rating:
8/10
(cant believe he didnt get an Oscar for that...ignorants...)
