Strong Champions

The physically weak and delicate misconceptions of ladies in this world has broken once again.

This video is titled as Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm – Revolution, and it shows the respect on feminism. Its story is so strong like those two girls, which you will never find out this film would be a UFC commercial until its very end. It describes how Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm grew up as mighty divas of UFC rings. Both ladies had their passion and strong gut to keep moving forward despite of hardships in their life. I was carried away by their inspirational stories, then I had a chuckle on the promotion video: “Every revolution starts with a fight.” It was true, but it was ironic how UFC put their stories as revolution. Their stories are powerful because they have been fighting for their passion. However, I would not put their inspiring stories as a revolution, like how UFC portrayed. It is more than a UFC fighting match between Rousey and Holm. It is more of both have had an extremely similar backstory of also wanting to do what they are doing since they were little girls. They had to face their expectations as girls, what they aresupposed to be doing. And it is more of their brave stories how they overcame their challenges successfully.

The non-dialogue video only plays Experience composed by Ludovico Einaudi. This song also has been played multiple times for Top Gear, NASA, England 90, and Star Wars Poetry, often portraying powerful messages. With strong string strokes on violin and weighted piano melody carrying the dynamics, the music definitely reflects these two ladies’ “experiences” in their life. C# minor key in this music brings the emotional characteristics portraying such as inside grief and struggles, yet the music gradually changes its key to connects the climax with the viewers. They are both moving and motivational, as viewers can feel those ladies’ tremendous strength from the video.

Whoever gets to win from the UFC 193 match on Saturday, November 14, 2015, I believe both divas are already champions.
