[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I saw the movie AND read the NYT article.  I want to psychoanalyze Tonya.  She's not smart. She's scrappy.  She views herself as a victim (in the movie HOW many times did she say "It wasn't my fault.").  She's uneducated.  She's loud and verbally aggressive.  She was raised in violence and then married into more violence.  She claims to have been friends with Nancy.  She was uncomfortable when people were kind to her (her skating coach).  When the police came to the rink and said there'd been a death threat called in about her (that we later found out was done by Sean), she brushed it off and didn't care.  At the end of the movie, there's a postscript where it says "Tonya wants you to know she's a good mother."  I would LOVE to explore that - what does it mean to her to be a good mother?  She doesn't stab or slap her child like her mother did to her?  She values his education?  What?

She claims she had no idea that Sean would hire a guy to club Nancy's knee.  Jeff claims he had no idea Sean would hire a guy to club Nancy's knee.  But Tonya never explained why she had Nancy's skate times written on a post-it.  That is the ONLY moment where I'm like "so she WAS planning it?" I am kind of Team Tonya except for that.

Whatever you think of who planned it and executed it, one thing is doubtless: if not for Tonya, Nancy would never have been whacked. [/quote]
