I, TONYA (2017) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

FUN LITTLE SIDE NOTE: Tonya would often skate to movie soundtracks, which proved difficult to use in this movie. Example, when she did the Triple Axle for the first time, she was skating to the theme of 1989's Batman.

The guy potraying the bodyguard did an insane performance...

Oksana Baiul, all of eighteen years old, won the gold in Lillehammer in 1994. Harding and Kerrigan effectively cancelled each other out, and the drama surrounding the pair didn't help. What a year it was.

I was already an adult when all of this happened and to this day I'm not sure whether she was involved or not. What I do come away with is once again seeing your kind heart. That made it worth watching.

When I first saw Tonya on TV I was impressed with the speed and power she had on the ice. Her artistry was passible. Her style was kind of like Elaine Zayak. Tonya was surrounded all her life with some very toxic people. She had the chance to get away from that crowd, but chose to stay with them. Paul Wylie once said, "The U.S. Figure Skating Team had a dinner to congratulate the medal winners who would be going to the Olympics, and it was a chance for us all to talk and get to know each other. Tonya never bothered to show up, and preferred to drink beer and shoot pool with her buddies. We didn't judge her, and held a hand out to her, but she chose to ignore us."

It wasn't the 100th Olympics, it was 100 years since the start of the modern Olympiad.

I wouldn't wager on the fact that she didn't know. That she did know would be a better bet.

Ah yes, the quaint old days, not that long ago, when we ALL were consumed with the stupidity of a figure skating drama lol I genuinely miss that.

It’s a testament to Margot Robbie’s acting that she had you totally gaslit into thinking Tonya Harding was innocent.
