Sinopsis(1)
En Stockton, ciudad de California, un veterano púgil en decadencia que sobrevive trabajando como jornalero agrícola conoce a un muchacho que quiere ser boxeador (Jeff Bridges) y se lo recomienda a su antiguo mánager, otro perdedor. "Fat City" es una expresión de la jerga boxística que quiere decir "Paraíso en la Tierra". (Filmin)

This is one of those movies where you feel like hope dies last, but here, it simply died. It's as if everything the characters do is just to keep struggling in what could still be considered life, but not a particularly nice one. It's like they couldn't ever rise from that bottom, which could indeed be worse, to the surface again. Intense and above all well-acted.

An existential drama set in the world of boxing, which follows the destinies of two boxers, the once-successful Bill Tully and the promising young Ernie. It's a nostalgic story that doesn't offer much reason for optimism, yet the film contains some humorous dialogue of sorts. The final scene in the bar over a cup of coffee, however, has a very depressing tone... In the end, I would like to add that Stacy Keach portrayed the role of a tough guy drowning his life's failures in alcohol exceedingly convincingly, and seeing Jeff Bridges at the beginning of his remarkable career was quite an experience for me.
