영화는 1964년에서 1974년까지, 알리가 처음으로 세계 헤비급 챔피언 벨트를 딴 날부터 부당하게 빼앗긴 타이틀을 다시 되찾는 조지 포먼과의 경기까지 10년을 아우른다. 사건의 전말은 결국 두번의 중요한 권투시합이다. 그런데 두 사건 사이에 놓여 있는 시간의 무게가 만만치 않다. 세상은 시끌시끌하여 미국이 베트남 참전을 선언하고, 버클리대학에서 학생운동이 시작된다. 흑인인권운동, 여성해방운동이 본격적으로 전개된 것도 이 시기이다. 비틀스가 미국을 평정하고, 말콤X가 암살당한다. 역사책 한 챕터를 가득 채우고도 남을 이 숨가쁜 시대의 한복판에 무하마드 알리가 있다.
Only the Divine Miss M could ring in the new millennium with such grandeur and style. Bette Midler's 1999-2000 concert tour to promote her Bathhouse Betty album. Live from Seattle.
