I saw The Fighter the week it opened but somehow failed to post about it at the time. That said, I really enjoyed this movie. The movie is based on the real life stories of boxers Irish Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund played by Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale respectively. Supporting cast is equally outstanding, with two supporting actress nominees Amy Adams and (likely Oscar winner) Melissa Leo. Wahlberg continues to outdo himself as an actor, producer, etc etc and whatever else he sets his hand to. It is a shame he didn't get the nomination from the Academy, he deserved at least that. And as I'm sure everyone has seen, Christian Bale has rightfully been gathering up the best supporting actor awards and will in all likelihood sweep right through the Oscars.
The Fighter is a well written, well acted movie that is touching and inspiring. It's a fascinating story, and one that I look forward to watching again soon. I highly encourage everyone to see this movie, it is sure to become a favorite of yours as well.
