This image released by Falling Forward Films shows Michael Pitt, left, and Ron Perlman in a scene from"Day of the Fight." – An underdog challenger. A big match. You know how the rest goes. “I had in my head this image of Michael Pitt punching a sandbag when we were on the set of ‘Boardwalk,'" says Huston."I think his life in a strange way mimics that of a boxer — sometimes the ups, sometimes the downs. Specifically where he is in his life right now, he has the essence of that boxer mentality. He can take a punch but, guess what, he keeps standing up.”
The film instead evolves as an elegiac character study of a man, pummeled by life, trying to put things in order. “At a certain point, it’s a movie about an athlete who wins, so there’s going to be certain tropes that are unavoidable. And I didn’t want to avoid them,” says Goldenberg. “I just wanted to try to do them in an organic, real-feeling way. Shooting handheld was the idea that we’re with him along the journey, so you feel like you were facing the challenges he faces.”
“I signed on to the movie and then I was like: How am I going to do the wrestling?” says Goldenberg. “I watched so many hours of him wrestling. I thought, there’s no way I can do this without him doubling himself. He moves in a way that I just thought no one could ever master.”
