简介:拳赛之日展示了处在生涯巅峰的爱尔兰裔中量级拳手WalterCartier与中量级鲍比詹姆斯对决的那一天(1950年4月17日)。这部电影以关于拳击历史的短暂旁白开场,然后拍摄Cartier(与他的兄弟Vincent)的一天,这时他正在为晚上10点的比赛做准备。他先在格林威治区西12街的公寓里吃了早餐,然后前去参加了早弥撒,并在他最喜爱的餐馆享用午餐。在下午4点,他开始准备比赛。晚上8点,他在新泽西州纽瓦克的劳雷尔花园的更衣室等待战斗开始。最后,我们看到拳赛的过程,Cartier在短时间内胜出。12分钟版与16分钟版的区别是,后者有一段关于拳击历史的开场旁白(4分钟),由资深新闻播音员DouglasEdwards用一种严肃的,带着些许黑色幽默的语调念出。DayOfTheFight"tellsofadayinthelifeofamiddleweightIrishboxernamedWalterCartier,particularlythedayofhisboutwithblackmiddleweightBobbyJames.This16-minuteshortopenswithashort(about4minutes)studyofboxing'shistory,narratedbyveterannewscasterDouglasEdwardsinano-nonsense,noirtoneofvoice.Afterthis,wefollowWalter(andhistwinbrotherVincent)throughhisdayashepreparesforhis10:00P.M.bout.Aftereatingbreakfast,goingtoearlymassandeatinglunch,hestartsarranginghisthingsforthefightat4:00P.M.By8:00,heiswaitinginhisdressingroom,whereheundergoesamentaltransformation,turningintothefightingmachinethecrowdclamorsfor.At10:00,hefacesJames,andsoon,hecomesoutvictoriousinashortmatchwhichwasfilm
