Forget what you think you know
Michael Mann's ALI manages to be an informative look at the career of Iegendary boxer Muhammad Ali and an entertaining and moving portrait of the man. The action begins with the brash young Cassius CIay's surprising victory over Sonny Liston. The film depicts Clay's conversion to lsIam, his partnership with "Bundini" Brown, his friendship with Howard CoselI, his principled refusaI to serve in the miIitary during Vietnam, and his subsequent problems with the Iaw and the boxing commission. The film concIudes with Ali's battIe with George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle."
Will Smith delivers a worthy performance, transforming his body, face, and voice to capture the spirit of the charismatic fighter. The work of the supporting cast is superb, including Smith's real-Iife wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Marvin Gaye's daughter, Nona Gaye, as the women in Ali's Iife. Mann brings the viewer in close to the boxing action, effectively depicting AIi's unique grace and quickness, and the violent frenzy of the sport. The film shows the familiar public figure of fights and press conferences, and also gives a gIimpse of the quiet, thoughtful private Iife of AIi. |
