Contend with the Aviator

I rented "Aviator" today - what a wonderful movie about going head-on against the odds, fighting monopoly, the government despite personal set-backs and debilitating mental disorders. Well done, well acted, and Cate Blanchett deservedly won the best supporting actress Oscar as sprite charming Katharine Hepburn, Dicaprio pulled all the stops on intensity and articulation as Howard Hughes. Now I'm watching the finale of the "Contender" as my friend Chris said Giuliano looks like one of the finalists Manfredo, I see some similarity minus those boxer teeth. My Giuliano is a boxer too, but a sweet one in my eyes. He definitely looks you in the eye like boxers do at the start of the match but very warm and sweetly with me. I've always secretly liked boxing from the days of Muhammad Ali and "Rocky", that connection of fist to body to face, good old-fashioned fighting it out, no need for technology, no need for change. Just like a warrior, you keep moving forward no matter what stands in your way, go out swinging and you'll eventually take off and fly.
