MMA Announcer: You don’t think women can fight? I’m calling B.S.There really are so many classic fight films. I mean, from “Raging Bull” all the way up to “Creed.” And in the opening of “Bruised,” it’s from your character’s POV as she’s really getting pummeled.MARK OLSEN:
How did you sort of come up with the specific grammar of how to shoot the MMA fighting in in “Bruised?” Because it’s a real challenge for any director, especially for someone who’s, you know, directing their first film?Well, I love the genre so much. I’ve seen almost every movie made in the genre, so I felt like I was versed in fight movies and I took from things that I loved that I had seen that really impacted me. You know, “Raging Bull” is one of my favorites.
There are some homages to “The Wrestler.” It’s in the gritty world of “The Wrestler.” And, you know, shooting fight movies in that gritty way and Steadicam and where the camera is also a character really serves these kinds of movies really well. I think it gives the viewer a sense that they’re right in the room, that they’re right with the characters, you know? So it’s just years of watching these movies. I just recalled what I loved, what moved me as a viewer.
As you said, you kind of are a longtime fight fan, you know, especially when you were younger. What was the appeal of that? Like, what did you like about watching boxing or or MMA?I was a latchkey kid. My father left when I was very young. And, you know, I was a interracial kid — had a white mother and a Black father. And my father was absent and I was looking to find a part of myself to identify with. And boxing was my favorite thing to do.
