It’s been 3 months since I watched a good movie, and I consider YOLO as one of the best movies at the begining of 2024. It is a comedy and family theme. Shortly, tells about an obese woman who falls in love with a boxing coach and then starts boxing.
At the first scene, I thought it would show a transformation of the man, who had a pessimistic perspective of life towards being optimistic and fighting for his life. I was wrong, the story comes from a woman, called Du Leying. She’s 166 cm and 105 kg. The first child of a family, but after 10 years she does nothing (jobless) because of her pessimism about life and herself.
Her boyfriend was cheating on her best friend (classic) and she drove herself to still attend their wedding so they wouldn’t call her best friend a cheater. What a beautiful soul.
While at home, her sister asked her to sell Leying’s apartment to pay for Leying’s niece’s school. Even after Leying fights with her sister, she still signs the paper. Although her cousin also took advantage of her by tarnishing Leying in a television program, she still helps her so the cousin will get a permanent job as a program producer.
Leying got “When it rains, it pours, and wet also get cold”
She desperate and got depression. But the night after the humiliating tv show, she determined to be determined. She registers for a boxing course and tries to win once. Turning all her mental pains into physical pain.
Nevertheless, she had another obstacle, her weight. She begins running, skipping, and endurance training. Months pass. She adds more strength to build muscle. It is almost one year until she is success in dropping her weight off. From 105 kg to 55 kg in 8 months. It was a very intensive pieces of training.
I can’t even imagine behind the scenes. I thought the film was using different actors, yet they used the same person. What a strong soul. I was impressed. Besides, Leying plays not only as an actress but also as a producer of the film. She really made it.
Pain has paid. Train starts gain. Change mental pain to physical strength.
