- 剧情:Sweet Dreams takes documentary cinema in a new direction and delivers a heart-pounding and uplifting dramatic experience. Documented for more than three years, Sweet Dreams tells the story of two Italian-American men. One of them, Gary "Tiger" Balletto is a 27-year-old boxer, who, burdened by the memories of a fellow boxer killed in the ring, attempts to unionize the sport. Besides attempting to organize the only professional sport where athletes have no protection, Balletto shoulders the tasks of raising a family, running a construction business, and boxing professionally. Then there is Derek, a 19-year-old Bookie - and "wanna-be" wiseguy. Derek dreams of upholding a reputation as a tough, brutal enforcer but faces real hardship in this endeavor due to his gentle, soft-spoken, and sometime thoughtless ways. Sweet Dreams banishes the stereotype of the Italian-American man, as well as the common assumptions of what it means to be tough. It is a film about inspiration and perseverance, about faith, fatherhood, friends and family, about the ethic that drives the working man. The result is a film that goes far beyond the usual themes found in boxing and organized crime stories, and a documentary that stretches the conventions of the medium.
