I don't think Randy is on the wrestling ring again for dignity and honor

Personally, I think Randy's return to the game is actually a very helpless choice.

After the operation, Randy also tried to try a new life - trying to improve his relationship with his daughter, chasing strippers, and finding a job. The situation seemed to be slowly improving, but finally, the dancer acted as the first domino. Because of her rejection, all relationships with Randy began to take a turn for the worse. In the end, all the feelings of loneliness, emptiness, and disapproval broke out at once - he He chose to return to the game (actually he gave up on himself), of course, he must know that this is going to die, but compared to the loneliness and the strangeness of living in a vacuum, the enthusiasm of the crowd on the field is familiar to Randy. , he prefers to anesthetize himself in such an atmosphere.

So, I think this part is the director telling us a sad story. Randy's choice is not because of what the world proves, but only because of his loneliness (this is also the point that Randy has always emphasized like a dancer and a daughter).



The surroundings are changing rapidly, and people who come and go are intoxicated with their own happiness. If you close your eyes, the cold wind of the winter night can rub your cheeks and bring you the breath of walking with you. Let me stand silently in the wind and reminisce about that year. A bit of warmth in the cold wind.
