This is not an inspirational movie

When you think that you can change yourself, a drunkenness will reveal you;
when you think that you can make up for the past, sincere tears can't bear the long-term accumulated hatred;
when you think that you can start a new life, the door is just opened. A meeting is not enough for you to pass.


Wrestler Ram, who has experienced his own glory following the metal frenzy of the 80s, is now old and has nothing, lost family affection and cannot catch love. Only the support of unknown fans can give him some comfort. It's not that he hasn't tried hard, but things are always not as good as expected. Ram said to his daughter that I was supposed to be the one to take care of everything, but it backfired, and then shed tears.

Ram made the posture of the prodigal son turning his head, but still was not accepted by the one he loved, so he could only return to the original stage.

Perhaps it should be said that he chose to return to the stage where he belonged.

When Ram said to his fans, you are my family, and the fans cheered for it. Who has experienced the journey of wrestlers?

This is a film that tells you the cruelty and helplessness of life, and also tells you a different kind of belonging. He is more powerful than slum dog millionaire, not because of this sad ending, but because he makes me easily think of the old people around me and their tired figures.

I hope we will not live like this, because this ending is not something everyone can afford.

I now understand why the Oscar was awarded to Sean Pann instead of Mickey, because one is the highest praise for acting, the other is right Life is most restored.

The Wrestler quotes

  • Necro Butcher: Are you cool with the staples?

    Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: Staples?

    Necro Butcher: Staple gun... Not so bad on the way in, except it's a little scary, you know - you got this metal thing pressed up against you. Gonna leave some marks, have to deal with a little blood loss.

  • Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: Give this to your son, it's an authentic Randy "the Ram" action figure. Tell him not to lose it, it's a $300 collectors item.

    Cassidy: Really?

    Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: No.
