    Well, hey, did you call? Did you fall?
    Do you need someone? Do you need someone?
    And hey, I'm a mess myself, but I think
    I could be someone if you need someone
    When I was alone, it was fine I could deny all I like
    I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
    But, hey, did you call? Did you fall?
    Do you need someone?
    I could be someone for you

    #Prizefighter: The Life of #JemBelcher

    La storia "vera" ( storicamente è tutto sbagliato, ho scoperto poi leggendo in rete) di uno dei primi campioni di pugilato del XIX secolo, agli albori di questo sport.
    Se la storia pareva interessante, il film in se è ben poca cosa, con una fastidiosa fotografia che rende tutto "falso".

    📝Voro: 5 /¹⁰
    "Prizefighter: the life of Jem Belcher" di Daniel Graham, 106 minuti, 2022.
    -All'inizio del diciannovesimo secolo, in un momento in cui il pugilato è una disciplina sportiva totalmente appannaggio dei re, un giovane e dotato pugile si dà da fare per diventare campione d'Inghilterra.- da themoviedb.org
