      so-called dignity

      What Rogue House often talks about is that only living has dignity.
      It was very harsh to hear it at first, and I used "I would rather die standing up than live on my knees" to motivate my soul that thought it was more positive.
      Then I knew I was wrong - you can die with dignity, but after you die, the dignity doesn't exist.
      For example, from "Nine and a Half Weeks" to "Wrestling King", who has the dignity?
      There is a sentence on the Beanstalk, Mickey worked so hard to play...

      Locke who used to be handsomer than Brad Pitt

      A person who deserves the respect and admiration of everyone as long as he is on the court is
      in the audience, and the gap in life shocked me. My
      poor and depressed life is a
      lonely and irregular daily life. It really gives us a new definition of
      the profession of wrestlers.

      false and true

      When I was in the third year of high school, the biggest joy after class was to find some reason to play some wrestling moves with my classmates. I
      couldn’t fall on the concrete. I just used the impression I saw on the Z channel and used joint skills to grab and pull
      until one side couldn’t stand it.

      I like to watch wrestling. , even if you haven't seen it for a long time,

      if you really fight with people, or watch people fight,
      you will understand that the...

      Who is more qualified to judge this movie than me

      Although the protagonist of this biopic is Randy Robinson, the number one character of Madison Square Garden in the 1980s,
      I can tell you responsibly that the
      whole film presents us with a Mickey Rourke who can no longer be
      true . Because Aronofsky accepted Mickey Rourke's advice
      and used his own boxing career experience as a reference, he rewrote
      the script and lines
      . Today, the Venice Film Festival's highest honor Golden Lion Award film "The Wrestler"...

      Have you ever seen me like this

      Bruce Springsteen's ending credits are the only ending credits I have patiently listened to.
       
      "Have you ever seen a stupid horse galloping happily in a field?
        If you have ever seen a stupid horse, you have seen me
        Have you ever seen a one-legged pigeon wandering the streets
        ? Dove with legs, you've seen me
        
        You 've seen me, I stand at every door   You
        've seen me, I've always lost more and more
      You laugh
        Tell me, my friend, what...

      Feng Dao was unwilling to return to the hidden days, and he was drunk on the battlefield and made jokes. Randy's fringe identity and stature from brilliance to slump give the film an incomparably charming quality - not a resistance to loneliness but a strenuous indulging in loneliness, dignity and honor as gloom and silence recede. Float to the surface. This is a mature and natural film that shows you how a sensitive and hardened heart defends its dignity. Do you know what is the vicissitudes...

    Evaluation action

    The film is ambitious, and it is not found in science fiction and surrealism. The film’s performance methods seem to return to tradition, more calm and quiet, and more sincere. An old-fashioned story about wrestlers, in the sermon, it is very important. It is emotional, the film is shrouded in a light yellow nostalgic atmosphere, giving people a warmth, and the use of electronic music makes the film full of breath.  (Sina Entertainment...
