Picking up from yesterday –
And yeah. It’s so sad to think that she could do this amazing feat, but because she was too close to the people who did this terrible attack on Nancy Kerrigan that now that’s all Tonya’s ever asked about.
Anyway, I could talk about this movie all day. But the point is, as far as I could tell, Tonya had no prior knowledge that Nancy Kerrigan was going to get hurt. And her life was ruined because of a plan her husband started putting in motion, and someone else (still not Tonya and not communicating with Tonya) finished.
Oh! One more super sad thing. She was told by the skating federation that if she wanted to represent our country, she had to have a more wholesome family. She had done the healthy thing and cut her abusive husband out of her life. And then she was pushed back with him for the sake of her career – which he then ruined.
And there is part of me who wonders, “What if she was a villain? What if she really did do this? How would I feel if I were Nancy Kerrigan, and the person who helped with the worst thing in my life got a movie that made them a hero (or at least an exceptionally tragic and loved figure)?”
And the answer is, i dunno. I feel for what happened to Nancy Kerrigan. I’m glad the people who got jail time, got their jail time. But – I’m crying again! haha… Because the scene of Tonya’s sentencing had me BAWLING. I mean, it was just uncontrollable. My face was soaking wet. My hands (to wipe my tears away) couldn’t move fast enough to compensate for how fast the tears were streaming down my face. I don’t even know if I want to ruin this part for you because you really, really have to watch it. But I’ll put it in the lines below on the off-chance you want to read about it (but you should really see the movie).
And this is where I’ll pick up tomorrow!
