Yesterday afternoon I watched a Netflix DVD of the movie The Fighter. As you may know it is based on a true story of a family in the blue collar suburb of Boston, Lowell, MA. There were nine children in the family two boys and seven girls. The two boys had different fathers, but they were both boxers. The older brother had a shot a greatness, but he was kind of flakey and went to prison Their mother was their manager, but she was manipulative and favored the older brother. The younger brother eventually breaks away from the control of the mother and wins the title fight, but he eventually reconciles with the family. Mark Wahlberg plays the younger brother and is the force behind the movie. Christian Bale plays the older brother and won the Oscar for best actor. Amy Adams plays the love interest. Some of the parts in the movie were played by the real people, and all the real people were interviewed
