Ali (2001)

Ali is a bruiser, unwieldy in length and ambition. But Mann and Smith deliver this powerhouse with the urgency of a champ's left hook.

We see the movie levitate when Ali and Brown chant, "Float like a butterfly," the slogan that takes on a different meaning in each context, starting off as hopeful and spry, finally becoming rueful and pointed. When the film pulls off moments like these, it's breathtaking -- a near great movie.

Ali becomes less the story of a boxer than the story of one man hanging onto his soul. With so many wrong ways to dramatize that process, Mann's approach seems all the more right.

Connects so often and so persuasively that its shortcomings -- the movie goes slack from time to time -- really don't amount to much.

What keeps the movie from championship status is a sense that the filmmakers see Ali's social and political contributions as extra added attractions, ultimately less important than his greatness in the ring.

It's one of the most ambitious biographical films ever made in this country, and one of the most unusual, moving and exciting.

It may not scale the heights of Heat or The Insider, but this is riveting stuff and reconfirms Mann's status as a master of the medium.

time to be a black one！

剪短点应该更好

OST拯救了这部已经不太像剧情片也不太像传记片的片啊片~

7分。看完这个片子，最大的感受就是一句话：“贪多嚼不烂”。导演似乎想把所有有关这个伟大拳王的故事全部放进一部电影中去，结果就是顾此失彼，太多重点的结果就是没有重点，变成了部类似纪录片的流水帐。还好拳台上的戏份拍得不错，WILL SMITH也足够努力，这让本片至少还保持了一定水准。

拳王，为什么他才是拳王。一个男人，坚定的信念，不畏强势，坚持自己的信仰。终究有一天，你也是拳王。当然你要有那强壮的体魄。。。

传记片？励志片？绝对不算动作片。可能是有意为之，电影的节奏被放的很慢，时间被拉得很长。音乐和慢镜时常出现。不评价好坏，但是没有看动作片那种酣畅淋漓的感觉。一直喜欢威尔 史密斯，如果不是他，电影应该在我眼中失色很多。

三星给阿里，还有一星给威尔斯密斯，演的太出彩了！

四分给阿里~~

想做什么就敢去做的人是伟大的……

无法忘怀，无法释怀

不太按常理出牌的传记片or体育励志片。

散乱、缓慢、跳跃，想讲的太多，没有重点，像蜻蜓点水没有更深入～如果导演这么拍的话还不如以前在电视上看的介绍阿里的专题做的好，最起码那个主演是拳王本人～

太乱了

有点又臭又长，这是迈克尔·曼吗？
