一代拳王

这是一部迟到了很久的纪录片，记载的是1974年穆罕默德·阿里和乔治·福尔曼在前扎伊尔首都金沙萨进行的着名的“丛林之战”，居然还跟现场直播一样扣人心弦。胶片的仰视视角将阿里放大成了一个文化标记，但由诺曼·梅勒和乔治·普林顿撰写的犀利解说词则令他重返凡间。It's 1974, Muhammad Ali is 32 and thought by many to be past his prime. George Foreman is ten years younger and the Heavyweight champion of the world. Promoter Don King wants to make a name for himself and offers both fighters five million dollars apiece to fight one another, and when they accept, King has only to come up with the money. He finds a backer in Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator of Zaire and the "Rumble in the Jungle" is set. A musical festival, featuring the America's top black performers, like James Brown and B.B. King, is also planned.
