Where's you, Charlie?
You should have
taken care of me.
You should have looked out
for me just a little bit.
I could have been
a contender.

'I could have been a contender.'
I don't understand this line. Anybody does?
The line is spoken by Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront. He plays a longshoreman who was once a prizefighter. The dialogue that follows the line is, “instead of a bum, which is what I am.”
shareNice. Although I cannot find any connection with this movie.
shareI haven’t seen the movie that is the subject of your topic, maya, but, judging from the context of the dialogue you quote from it, I infer that the character (Nina) feels that she could have been someone great (“a contender” [for a champion’s crown]) if only she had the proper support.
