the wrestler

grit grit and more grit. a really heartbreaking, soul destroying glimpse of the last bit of life as a man slowly disintegrates, a downtrodden spectre of his former self.
lots of people have drawn a synchronicity to Randy The Ram and mickey rourke. i don't really know much about mickey rourke's story, but Randy's final speech to his cheering fans was disturbingly real.
absolutely tragic and plays with your emotions like a cat plays with a mentally ill mouse.

8/10
