I, Tonya

"I, Tonya" has great acting. Including Allison Janney and Margot Robbie, the movie is an enthrallment of impressions glorified by outlandish strangeness and conceited characters. The scene of Nancy Kerrigan(played by Caitlin Carver) being maimed is violent and is an act done vulgarly, which is commonplace with these people. "I, Tonya" is not just based off of true events, it is much more concerned with the footage of testimonies from the real people about the events of 1994, in a Detroit skating arena, where ice-figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was hit in the back of the knee and disabled. Shane Stanton(Ricky Russert) is the one who strikes Nancy, and the planner is Shawn Eckardt(Paul Walter Hauser). Shawn claims that Jeff Gillooly(Sebastian Stan), Tonya's husband, hired him to do it. In short sequences the characters are portrayed in interview segments and their views about their own actions are defensive and cynical. The fact that these people suffer abuse(especially Tonya Harding), and get back on their feet with renewed bias' and hatreds is a pleasure-punch orientation that is training their existence. The siily conspiracies to razz other ice-skaters or to send threatening letters to Nancy Kerrigan are effortless crowd pleasing arousals, but the haven of popular acceptance is a small sultry place with false friends. Thinking about disrespect and pleasure caused by smite, implies a select mannerism; when it is understood that kindness is a weakness, the beguiling delights of dissection are shared in outcast meetings. Still, there is no real answer for the event of Nancy Kerrigan getting 'hit', for the physical abuse of Tonya Harding(whatever version), or for the idea of paying somebody to maim a competitor as a nonconsequential after thought made in excitement. The solution is, I think, that these people should be investigated. Allison Janney plays Lavona Golden, Tonya's mother, and is an irony of singular divorced insensitivity wrought as real as if she were plunked down into "I Tonya" from a crane on a street of wayfarers. Allison Janney won the Academy award for Best Supporting Actress in 2018 for her performance. The character of Tonya Harding is played sequentially from early childhood by Maizie Smith and McKenna Grace, and in adulthood by Margot Robbie. All of them are great. Margot Robbie's evocations of intense or cool demeanors is grafted into the ice skating persona of Tonya Harding in her precocious recognition of the pleasure in exercising talent. Sebastian Stan playing Jeff Gillooly has a quirky human folly ethos but is as down to earth as any young married husband. Julianne Nicholson as Diane Rawlinson, and Paul Walter Hauser as Shawn Eckardt are also amazing.

I hope it was not biased as so many that are not in the world of the "haves" do live life in a different very judged world. Would watch again.

It is impossible to see Allison Janney's performance in the first 3 minutes of the film, and not be certain she is going to win the Oscar.Allison was not able to meet LaVona, Tonya's abusive, cold, manager/mother, to research her "character" "So," she said, "I just made her up."The "mockumentary" style, perfect for one of the most highly publicized stories in history, uses bits of mock interviews with the characters throughout the movie, and as a segue into scenes, which is how you meet Lavona.Everything in that scene, the set, the script, direction, hair, costume and Allison's performance, gave the audience very little doubt about LaVona. I almost felt like I was in the room with her, thinking I was going to reek of cigarettes and worried she was going to come at me for something!"I Tonya" is a compelling, account of Tonya Harding, the extraordinarily talented, ambitious figure skater, who, despite being so close many times, could not escape the legacy of growing up "White Trash", and succeed in a sport that was not exactly"friendly" to a girl from the wrong side of the tracks.Billed as a dark comedy, "I Tonya" is not exactly the type of comedy that gets big laughs, but Gillooly, and his bungling crew of bone heads provide some comic relief.When Tonya shoots at Gillooly with a rifle, she "breaks character" and addresses the "audience" saying, "I didn't do this," It is kind of a "wink" at the mockumentary style.However, ultimately, this technique, using exaggeration, and deadpan delivery, is intended to illustrate real absurdity, and the tragic aspects of Tonya's life.Just focusing on Tonya's abusive relationship with her husband, and the scandal surrounding the attack on rival skater, Nancy Kerrigan, could have easily translated into an entertaining straight drama.Although it does actually appear to be the focus, I think the intention was to use her difficult upbringing, and the frequent, escalating abuse and domestic violence with husband, Jeff Gillooly as a backdrop for the larger story of classism in the U.S., and the impact the legacy of rural poverty has on generations from that culture.We may not think about the rarity of a story like Tonya's.The likelihood of a girl, especially, making it out of rural poverty at all is practically zero, then becoming a contender for world champion in such an unlikely, demanding sport.....well, that's why it's a story.The question of how much credit should be given to LaVona for Tonya's success is difficult, since she also cannot be exempt from responsibility for Tonya's failures, and the film did not waiver and use license to take sides either way.Another reviewer who grew up in it, calls rural poverty, a culture of "desperation."I have described it as exactly that, although I have just observed someone from that culture, and his life of constant chaos.I would definitely say a learned desperation was responsible for Tonya's circumstances. There is a heartbreaking scene with Tonya only about six years old, watching her Ioving stepfather suddenly driving away, while Tonya screams and pleads to no avail.However, I think it's not always a case of desperation, but the inability to consider future consequences it ultimately creates. I think it develops a behavior of always acting to fill immediate needs, even when there are other options.It is the absence of considered thinking and judgement, and repeated bad decisions made on impulse, that become a devastating life pattern.You see Tonya sabotage herself over and over again,when she actually had some pretty lucky breaks.The Olympic Committee changes the winter schedule, it allowed Tonya a one time chance to compete in only 2 years.They also discontinued compulsory figures and put the focus on jumps.Tonya was the best in the world at jumps.But, she arrives 2 days late, and the whole issue with the lace on her skate, occurred because she didn't bring an extra pair of laces.There was a moment when Tonya fires Diane, a great job, played by Julieanne Nicholson, her coach since childhood, and she throws her skate at her.Diane wasn't hit, but the still shot of of Tonya's face showed in her eyes, that she recognized her mother in herself for the first time.Margot Robbie, a stunning Australian actress who played the gorgeous trophy wife of Leo DiCaprio in the "Wolf of Wallstreet", shows she can also easily pull off a strong, complex character like Tonya, with an excellent performance that is also Oscar worthy.I can only say, it is hard to complete this review without ruining the ending.The script and direction were outstanding in a film that never wavered from its intention to accurately present Tonya's story, and let the audience decide.

Was enlighting. Like Robbin

Perfecto. Enhorabuena.

Me encantó la película, la historia y sobre todo las actuaciones. Todo excelente, pero NO TIENE SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL. Yo sí sabía antes y la compré así. Pero considérenlo.

Excelente producto, falta de caja blu-ray como se muestra en la imagen. Pero muy agradable
