Randy, an idealist

Angie 2022-03-19 09:01:03

I just finished watching this film, it's not like an inspirational movie, I can't tell. It doesn't have the bright and exciting theme of ROCKY, and it's not as heavy as seeing the dragon disarming (the setting at the end is somewhat similar). With strength. The hero of RANDY is late, no longer wrestling, but he encounters obstacles everywhere in reality. He is not sophisticated enough, has some stubbornness, and is an idealist, especially when dealing with love and family. Choose to learn sophistication , can't do it! Choose to live? No! To be a wrestler again, I don't want to prove anything, I just want to hear the long-lost catharsis, I just want to prove that I am not alone, I just want to end my life in a heroic way.
Most of life is unsatisfactory. The difference between us and RANDY is that we choose to live, get married, have children, and wash away our silly ideals and shameless big words when we poop every day.

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.
