Sweet Child O' Mine

I remember that when I was a child, one day, the cable TV at home suddenly received a few more TV stations such as Phoenix TV that were not usually received, and one day I switched to the TV sports channel, and the program I saw really made me speechless when I was young. In the wrestling ring, the two American wrestlers fought hard. I have never seen that kind of fight. Do anything, choke your throat, smash a stool, or even, Ram Jam! I was shocked when I was in front of the TV, and at the same time, it was a blood boil to see it. However, with the unintentional disappearance of Phoenix Satellite TV of satellite TV one day, the program about this kind of perverted wrestling gradually faded out of my memory. I only remember the program called WWF. The first memory of this wrestling.
Later, I learned that other people said that those wrestling were fake. I pretended to nod my head. In fact, I really didn’t believe it. It was all like that. How could it be fake? , Exaggerated things are part of life. There are many people's lives that we don't understand at all, nor can we imagine.
A wrestler who used to be brilliant, but slowly declines with age, lonely, heart disease, abandoned by his daughter, hated by the woman he likes, an ordinary service occupation, helping people pack chicken wings and drumsticks every day , and in the end, after despairing and frustrated with everything, he resolutely walked to the wrestling ring that brought him countless brilliance, even though he knew that his heart was completely unbearable.
This is a kind of helpless fate, and it is also the choice of men. Many women cannot understand why men do what they do. The answer is very simple, because this is a man.
Although the ending song "The Wrestler" didn't even get nominated for the Oscar for Best Movie Song, I think the music used in the film is very popular, the metal music and the atmosphere of the film are very suitable, making people excited, such as the title of the song. Sweet Child O' Mine, when the wrestling king appeared in the final match, the prelude to the classic Sweet Child O' Mine with guns and flowers sounded, and the whole person's spirit was lifted. Of course, this film is also good for Rose and Slash, who were given to Gun Flower. They had the glory of their era, and now their era has come to an end.
And when bruce springsteen's the wrestler's crisp strumming sounded, the film also climbed tremblingly on a pillar of the wrestling ring, trying to complete his last Ram Jam, and fell in that difficult jump curtain.
I would rather believe that he can still survive this time, and can live a good life with the strip girl he loves from now on. But probably this is just a good wish. As Chen Ran said, we cannot reconcile with life.

The Wrestler quotes

  • Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: The only place I get hurt is out there. The world don't give a shit about me.

  • Cassidy: [to Ram, as she touches his scars and after he shows her some of the scars he has accumulated throughout his career] He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
