This movie is unwatchable!!!This director pretend our emotions and our tears, but if i see a orrendous child who cry all the movie i feel disgusted.
Jon Voight an Faye Dunaway, great actors in many other movies, here are inadequates. -

How can something "unwatchable" gross $30 million at the box office? Maybe the people decided to see it and after a few minutes concluded "This is unwatchable. Let's get out of here" then left.
And "orrendous"? Oh you mean horrendous?
Yeah maybe the director did a good job catering to people's emotions, in what you call "pretend our emotions". But that's the whole point you see. It's supposed to be that way.
Btw, it's "pretends to our emotions", not "pretend our emotions". Even with my corrections, the sentence still needs some work, since it doesn't clearly convey the meaning you're trying to express. I'm not a grammar Nazi. Just a guy who wants other people to communicate better in English. It's not the grammar that I care about, it is that meaning must be expressed in a clearer manner, to avoid any misunderstandings. -

Let me quote you for a sec "This movie is unwatchable" at least that sentence makes sense though I think you did watch it so it's not really unwatchable.
Now onto the weirder bits "this director pretend our emotions and our tears". Um okay nice verb invention\twisting not sure what you call that.
"but if I see orrendous child who cry all the movie I feel disgusted". Orrendous must mean "really amazingly talanted in your book so we'll just go with that. But why are you disgusted by a kid crying? Let's hope you never have any children or god help them.
So let's end with IGNOBLE? What what what? -

I WILL agree with you on one thing, that kid crying got kind of annoying after a while. I've seen clips of the ending, so I already knew there were going to be waterworks for the kid, but it kind of meant nothing after you saw him crying so damn often, even when Billy got drunk and needed help taking his shoes off.
That kid needs some kind of help

The ring footage is quite good, but the way he aims to win at all cost for Aniie and his son really plays out a bit too tear-jerking. It's obvious when you watch the closing two-three rounds that the opponent is solidly better, the final KO is very improbable. And the kid makes me think of

(a better movie than this one)
At the audition I had to karaoke to "Smoke On The Water". I was 45. A very lonely experience.
