Everyone who has seen WWE knows how fake it is, but sometimes I am surprised that even if the physical laws are fake, there is no way to avoid it, like the kind of action that stands on a pillar and jumps down and hits the opponent. The tragedy of fracture is inevitable. After watching this movie, I realized that these people are a group of superb actors. Their strong muscles are just to look good and reduce injuries. They are familiar with various medicines and trauma treatments, and can quickly complete general trauma treatments. They also follow the rules on the court. The scripts that had been negotiated in advance were performed, and they were kind and polite to each other in private. However, the meager income and constant sports injuries continue to erode the lives of these people. When the male protagonist sat with a nearly broken heart on the scene of the game signing for publicity, he looked at the past and almost all of his old friends. It is the incomplete body and the old look. It was so bleak at that moment, the feeling of the hero's twilightness was already sad enough, and he had to support it in order to live, which made people feel embarrassed.
When the actor began to understand that he was old, he was surrounded by an inescapable loneliness. Just as the movie "No country for old men" wants to express, the past times that we have together are warm and beautiful. He chattered about how good the 80s were. There were so many good bands and music in the 80s. That was also his most glorious era. He won almost all the honors and staged his own classic games in Madison Square Garden. He wants to transform into an old man willing to be plain, doing a job selling cooked food in a supermarket, having a dear daughter and a woman whom he can talk to, and living a retirement life. However, his efforts failed. The father-daughter relationship he had painstakingly recovered instantly collapsed. The woman he had always liked to support his son by dancing striptease did not accept his feelings. He silently returned to the delicatessen cabinet to do boring and trivial work, and finally was irresistible. Broke out. For him at this time, wrestling is no longer a means of making a living, it is the only thing in life that still has light.
This is not a genre film, although I thought so until almost the end of the film. The protagonist is not Chow Yun-fat in "A Lang's Story", not Andy Lau in "A Hu", nor is it Stallone in "Rocky". He is not for love, money, honor of child custody or other, his world is only left. This last game. Before the game, he calmed his heart and prayed for God's blessing. In my opinion, he prayed for him to complete this final performance. When entering the stage, the background music played "Sweet child o'mine" by Gunslinger Band. The audience stood up and applauded and cheered. On the stage stood his opponent from 20 years ago. This is his era. He knocked his opponent to the ground, refused the dissuasion of the referee and old friends, hobbled up to the stage, put on the classic "smashing sledgehammer" pose to the cheers of the audience, and fell off the stage with a smile on his face.
This movie is almost a portrayal of the actor Mickey Locke himself. He was once proud of the scenery, and he was so handsome. Then he went through the film and boxing circles several times, and when he came back, he was already a broken face and an old body. His own story may be more ups and downs than this script. At the 2008 Venice Film Festival, the chairman of the jury Wim Wenders said: "This film has a truly heartbreaking performance, and I said it was heartbreaking. At that time, you knew I was talking about Mickey Locke."
