"I, Tonya" - a film about pain and rivalry in a fairy-tale ice world
"I, Tonya" premiered in 2017. The script is dedicated to one of the events that make the world shudder from the ugly face of one of the most beautiful sports - figure skating. The tape gives publicity to a story from the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994, when two rivals on the ice settled the dispute off it.
Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding are among the most promising figure skaters on Team USA. However, there is only room in it for one, and that is for Kerrigan. However, Harding is not inclined to comply with this and organizes an attack on her rival. As a result of the attack, Kerrigan's leg was injured to the extent that she was unable to participate in the forum in Norway. Tonya Harding takes her place in Lillehammer. The truth about the attack on Kerrigan later comes to light, and with it comes the end of Harding's career.
The whole life of Tonya Harding is a series of scandals, controversies and a talent that is not inclined to stop at anything to conquer the top. A true story that sounds like a true thriller script with a twist of drama. A story that inspired director Craig Gillespie to create the film as well.
Margot Robbie plays the lead role of Tonya, and her portrayal has received very positive reviews. There are also those for the entire team that carried out the production. The exquisite world of figure skating, accompanied by chilling hatred and rivalry, told in a brilliant way, make the strip one of the most successful of the year.
