From the father’s perspective, this scene takes on a profoundly symbolic and emotional dimension. What he is witnessing is not merely the defeat of his favored son-the one in whom he had placed his hopes and projected his pride-but the collapse of a narrative he himself constructed. This defeat does not come at the hands of an outsider, a stranger, or a rival embodying the strength he admires, but rather at the hands of someone he had previously deemed nothing more than a "loser." This forces him to confront not only his son’s failure but also his own: his inability to recognize the true value and potential of the one who now stands as the victor. The nod of his head is not a simple gesture but one laden with meaning. It is an implicit apology, an acknowledgment that his years of blindness and misjudgment not only hurt his son but also deepened a chasm that seemed irreparable. It is a recognition that he underestimated something now undeniable: the strength-not just physical but emotional and moral-of the "loser" he had dismissed. But it is more than just recognition; it is permission, a silent authorization to let the wounds of the past heal and the chains of resentment be broken, both with himself and with the brother. In that moment, the father is not merely watching his sons face off but witnessing his own legacy being tested-and perhaps redeemed.
I think it goes even deeper than that. If you remember the talk on the beach tommy brought up that he was there for their mother when she got cancer and helped out during the chemo, while Brendan turned ship and started a life with his family. So it goes to a point of how these two struggled with their moms cancer and therapy and looking deeper looking at your two sons in the ring and relating that to the lives and hardships and how they dealt with that struggles must hit hard. You see Tommy who has a broken arm and realizing that he needs to do whatever he can to continue moving forward and Brendan wanting to call the fight and move on to another day and the pain he recognizes though his brother. Its a deep recognition though his fathers eyes of how his sons dealt with the burden of their mother.
Yea I find it surprising something like this doesn't make its money back at the box office. Hard to walk out of such a scene and then rip the movie to your friends? Wouldn't the word of mouth have been stratospheric
Tommy knew it was over when his shoulder was broken. He just felt like he had to fall in combat, fighting to the very end. Is not that he was stubborn, he just felt he owed to his fellow soldiers to keep fighting until no longer being able to.
@@davconelectric I commented this because I thought Tommy kept fighting out of ego and stubborness. Then I realized I was wrong. Maybe you would prefer to keep this to myself but I wondered if someone is wrong as I was, so I thought my comment would be of some help. Sometimes the scenes are much deeper than what meets the eye.
@jorritkoperdraad5611 I highly recommend you to watch the full movie, realistic, dramatic (but not overacted drama), and interesting. I would tell you more about this scene but I would spoil any chance for you to enjoy the movie to its fullest. I promise, cero BS
@@celinreyes1983 thanks again, I will consider it. The only problem is that it’s not on Netflix in my country and that’s the only streaming platform I’m subscribed to…
Amazing movie it has every aspect of family life for atleast myself I guess . Amazing fight scenes and to bring in the big Russian like the rocky movies was smart asf
he wasnt just saying sorry for hurting his shoulder and choking him out. he was also saying sorry for leaving him alone with their sick mum to watch her as she slowly died, when he should have been there as the older brother.
Its funny how brendan just ate all of Tommys blows despite Tommy being the strongest striker in the tournament. But I get that brendan had to win for the story
He ate all them "blows" because he's the better AND the smarter fighter Nothing to discuss about that Pure strength with obsession alone just doesn't do it you know ;)
@@bigmonke2899 Well, it's probably different how much the various fighters can take. And Tommy might not hit quite as hard as he did against mad dog, for example. Even if he tells himself so all the time. The fact that the two are brothers certainly doesn't just affect Brendan. In the end it's just a movie. A very good one with MMA. But just a movie
The last fight? It all turned a bit silly when Brendan beat the Russian - or even when he got into the Tournament which was supposedly the best 16 in the world...
@@divinity176 you know what, that's a solid point, that didn't made any sense. I get the idea of the "he's a family man, he can't just give up" but some strings they pulled for him were straight bs.

That was a masterclass analys guys, hat off!
Likely the best fight movie that will ever be committed to film. It hits every note that needs to be hit.
This entire movie was a masterclass in acting from Joel, Tom and Nick
One of if not THE best fight scenes in modern combat cinema history...
Yea I find it surprising something like this doesn't make its money back at the box office. Hard to walk out of such a scene and then rip the movie to your friends? Wouldn't the word of mouth have been stratospheric
My favourite movie
Mine too❤

Cool story bro, did you come up with that all on your own?

@@celinreyes1983thanks, I haven’t seen the movie. Just this scene and it didn’t make sense, but your comment made it clear!

Agreed 👍
he wasnt just saying sorry for hurting his shoulder and choking him out. he was also saying sorry for leaving him alone with their sick mum to watch her as she slowly died, when he should have been there as the older brother.
It's one of the most best movies I seen.😂
Most Best? Which one is moster better? :)
hhhhh you killed me @@byteseq
Definitely in my top 5.
Someone really made up the perfect scene with that song choice ❤️
At 9:15, a song starts playing which sounds like Mark Knopfler. Does anyone know what it's called please? It's outstanding.
The National - About Today
Nexttime you can´t find a song from a movie/serie (episode) just google . Movie Title + O.S.T. or soundtrack ;)
@@imvanilla Thank you so much!
I feel so sorry for Tommy. he stands alone in the corner😢
No he's not he's in the sandbox with his brothers this is PTSD
Wonderful movie. It is Rocky with more emotions ... og both sides of the screen.
You cut out the best part!
ffs u right , pissin me off ffs what a mood killer
Melhor filme de Box q já assisti ❤❤❤❤❤
Ive always felt like tommy growing up, my parents always took my brothers side leaving me alone
This makes grown ass men cry
Just to hear his blood brother still love him.
What a journey.
worst referee in the world this dude
Best movie ever i love it
Bloody love this fight
terrific how tommy didnt see his opponents but with Brendan, right to his eyes
He cant knock out his big brother with all that muscle and strength! And still being a big brother!! But i ill show u and beat you lol damn!!❤
The script power
I love this movie about the video just recently
Its funny how brendan just ate all of Tommys blows despite Tommy being the strongest striker in the tournament.
But I get that brendan had to win for the story
He ate all them "blows" because he's the better AND the smarter fighter
Nothing to discuss about that
Pure strength with obsession alone just doesn't do it you know ;)
@@xDR0G0x so being a better and smarter fighter suddenly makes him just take a punch to the head that meant a ko to other fighters in this tournament
@@bigmonke2899 Well, it's probably different how much the various fighters can take. And Tommy might not hit quite as hard as he did against mad dog, for example.

No rules -- Brendan is down about 15 sec in. This movie is a propaganda peace.
"This movie is a propaganda peace." What? @@vespenegas261
And then tommy faced tribunal and went to military prison
Probably just dishonorable discharge considering the other actions and publicness of it
great movie but tommy 1 taps 2 elite fighter but his brother takes 10000000 punches and win
Because the script says so.
The Warrior is alone in the Corner,shit...
Tony é o guerreiro
Sadece zamanlama yanlış
Hak edeni kaybettirmek bu olsa gerek
Tomy c la bête
Soo good
7.
so cheesy
An amazing movie with a shit ass ending, that last fight was bs
The last fight? It all turned a bit silly when Brendan beat the Russian - or even when he got into the Tournament which was supposedly the best 16 in the world...
