Review of The Wrestler (2008) by David C — 13 Aug 2012

The wrestler is like a real life story about how things never get better. I loved how in the end there is no resoluton to his life, well not one that they just come out and say but they let you know it you think about it.

most movies dont do things like that because most people might not understand it. I felt it was the perfect ending because its just like real life theres no perfect ending and there was no need to show the ending of his life by some drawn out emotional scene like most movies would do to just cash in on you emotions.

it says so much even more if you listen to the song at the end, I loved it how it was just a black screen and the music comes on becuase your waiting to see whats next but instead of pictures they tell you by song, which I felt was very creative.

I thought that evan reachel woods did an ok job same as marrisa tomei. I like how she was just like randy. she was a old stripper who nobody wants and shes at the end of her carrer and randy new that in some ways they were the same person and they were perfect for eachother.

rourke did an amzing job I really felt for him. he created this man who was so mighty and strong but so sad. he had all these issues but he was never weak he didnt resort to drugs and alchol he punished himself by wresteling, he felt he was just giving himself what he disserved which most men arent that strong.

the wrestler is a real wake up call for people like that. I like the reasons why he wrestles beside his daughter hating him, you fell like he did it to creat someone else with a different name becuase if you notce he doesnt like beging called robin.

so it was like he was escaping reality. I also liked how he was an average joe who had nothing speciial but to the world he was the wrestler and he gave them so much of himslef even though he felt so much pain.

and how none of it matters because all he knows and all he feels he nneds to do is wrestl.
