A Story that Should be Known

I'm not sure how much of this movie is factual and how much is fictionalized for dramatic effect, but I found it to be impactful. I don't follow boxing, so I wasn't familiar with this athlete previously. The story is multi-faceted, following not just her journey as an athlete, but also focusing on the relationships she has with her family and her coach. It's incredible what she overcame, and even more incredible that she hardly got any recognition for it, even after winning the olympic gold. This movie shows the obstacles women face in sports considered "men's sports". It was saddening to see that the medal was meaningless in her personal life for so long (this does eventually change, with a LOT of time). This movie also portrays the struggles of growing up in a toxic household. One thing that did bother me was that Claressa (in the movie) chose to stand by her family repeatedly despite the fact that she was clearly abused. Her real life relationships with them may have been much more nuanced, but in the movie, all we really see is neglect until the very last portion of the movie, where there is more understanding and love. To me it felt like she was throwing away her chance at a better life to support her abusers. Note this is just my perception, which may be biased wrongly. Overall, I think that this is an important movie to see - one that deals with gender inequality, gender norms, poverty, trauma, neglect, and grit.

I hope this brings the right attention

Honestly, I feel ashamed that I've never heard of Claressa Shields. How does she win two back to back and not become a household name? Yet, the runners, gymnastics, and swimmers easily do. This just proves women have a long way to go, because if this was a man I'm sure it would be different. Than again, I couldn't tell you a single successful Olympic boxer. Maybe I'm just completly in the dark about a number of sports. Whatever it is, this movie pointed out a real problem that's out there.As far as a sports movie goes, this one is interesting in the fact it's not a lead up for her to win gold, instead that's just the half way point. This is more about the struggle of what came after for Claressa after becoming a world champion. It was sad and disgraceful.I loved this movie a lot, it's worth your time and is beautifully done. The acting of Ryan Destiny and Brian Henry is phenomenal!This was AMC Screen Unseen on December 16th. A wonderful suprise for my first screen unseen.

Story That Delivers a Knockout

When I first encountered this film, I had no inkling that it was about Claressa Shields. My introduction to her was through some Love & Hip Hop drama with Papoose and Remy Ma. However, upon immersing myself in The Fire Inside, it became evident that Shields is a force to be reckoned with, both inside and outside the ring. This movie, with its unique perspective, delves deep into the challenges of gender disparities in boxing and the arduous journey to the Olympics. It's a true underdog story that delivers a powerful punch of inspiration, leaving you with a renewed sense of determination.Ryan Destiny came in swinging as Claressa, nailing the role with precision. You can tell she put in the work, which shows in those solid boxing scenes-they give just enough to hook you, letting your imagination fill in the gaps for the rest. Brian Tyree Henry played the role of coach and mentor like a true corner man, offering steady guidance and grit throughout the filmThis movie certainly packs a punch. Unlike most 'based on a true story' films that stick to predictable formulas, The Fire Inside manages to break the mold. It skillfully weaves in drama, character growth, and just the right mix of struggle and triumph. It's a breath of fresh air in the boxing film genre, offering a unique blend of heart and history.Final verdict? A strong 4 out of 5-it's a title fight worth watching!
