Randy finally climbed up the tall pillar, the light was so dazzling that he couldn't keep his eyes open. His name was called out by the continuous voice like a tide in his ears, and he kept shouting. It was real, very real, more real than the wounds on his body, the heart that was ready to stop at any moment. He liked the sound more than he liked his own life. He stood up staggeringly, shouting louder, his back still looking so healthy under the lighting. He looked at the fallen man in the middle of the wrestling arena, then took a breath, concentrated on the calf muscles, and jumped hard...
I was waiting for him to fall directly into a corpse, this kind of tragic and solemn will be more direct. It's just that the lights are dimmed and the movie is over. This was his choice, the last of many in his life. The question is whether he chose such an ending for the last time, or did such an ending choose him long ago? It's really twisted, but no matter how twisted the problem is, this show, no matter how flesh and blood is flying, is considered perfect, that's all I can say.
Before watching "WrestleKing", I didn't know that such a large group of people can be satisfied with such violence. The people in "Fight Club" use violence to break the mediocrity, while the audience in "Wrestle King" is excited by watching real violence like eating ecstasy. Human nature is really cowardly and despicable. They don't care who wins and who loses, they just want to see beautiful scenes where the flesh is smashed to the ground, blood spurts, etc., and these scenes are even more beautiful and moving after they have been choreographed, making people scream again and again . Randy Sledgehammer is the protagonist of such a show. He is the king of the wrestling ring and, by the way, the complete loser of the show of life. Just by the way.
Life needs money to be cool. If you want money, you have to wrestle one after another. Wrestling will directly destroy the body, hurt and hurt. You have to buy medicine to fight. Medicine is like a battery, which can make the muscles continue to be excited and become More power, will make the pain as gentle as a mosquito bite. But you have to spend money to buy medicine, and you have to wrestle one after another if you want money. Wrestling will directly destroy the body, hurt and hurt, so you have to buy medicine to fight.
It is easy for people to be played around by fate. , the essence is the same, the only difference is the way of being played, and the length of time. Randy's wrestling life finally came to an end with a heart protest, and then he was ready to live a normal life, and I was ready to see how he lived it. He is doing okay, he has a fairly stable job, and his daughter almost reconciled with him. It seems that life is finally going to brighten up.
I don't know if wrestling is his dream for Randy. Dreams are too evil. Many people end up with many kinds of things as his dreams. A woman goes to bed and so on. I know Randy likes the feeling of being on the wrestling ring because the show is programmed, how to fight, where to fight, how to fall, what props to use, how much blood to bleed, how long to open, it's all arranged OK. But if his life is nothing but wrestling, or he can only wrestle, then in fact he doesn't like others calling his name, all he wants is recognition, and this most basic recognition is the same for everyone In ordinary life, he did not, not at all.
After retirement, he worked as a cashier in a supermarket. His long blond hair was tucked into a white hat and he wore a white apron. The boss gave him a name tag, instead of Randy, he asked the boss to change it to Randy, and the boss answered him with his butt. The words Randy are not really special, but they will make him feel safe. This is his other identity. This identity is called out repeatedly under the light. He hopes that he can use this identity in life. , even if it's just a name. But he didn't.
From the very beginning of the film, I was wondering why this guy would make his life like this. He lives in a rented house, and is often locked by the landlord because he didn't pay the rent. He had to sleep in the car without a wife. , There is no job, only wrestling can earn income, but the income does not seem to be enough to buy medicine to fight. He has a daughter who is completely his enemy. He didn't even have a dog, the only possession was probably the broken car, and he was no more than fifty years old.
Later, it was finally confirmed that the path he chose could not change other than what it is now. Fortunately, this is not an inspirational film. If it is an inspirational film, he will drag his half-dead body to defeat enemies much stronger than him, his wife will have it, and his daughter will have it. Luckily this isn't an inspirational film, thank goodness. So when I saw Randy's last jump at the end of the credits, although it wasn't as good as Jordan's last shot, I'd still give him a clapping. In the end, he still completely lost to life, but at least he won himself.
The characteristic of literary films is that if you are not careful, you will find yourself asleep and drooling. The reason WrestleKing didn't put me to sleep was that Mickey Rourke's golden lion was still very measured. The whole movie is very bland, and the picture is deliberately rough, and it may be that there is no money. Mickey Rourke filled the field and made a lot of difference.
He dressed as a cashier and walked across the aisle to the front desk, with whistles, applause, scolding, shouting in the background. This is the sound he made when he entered the wrestling arena, and then as soon as he stepped into the front desk of the supermarket, the sound disappeared and was replaced by a plain picture. How much Randy misses the life of wrestling, that is his performance as the protagonist, the short passage leads to different endings, what makes people speechless is that he used blood to twist the ending that could have been different, so that They agree.
He and his daughter went to the place where her daughter played when she was a child, and talked a little bit. Facing the play of life's displacement and fate and the guilt of his family, this big man who took blood as a daily meal burst into tears and burst into tears, like a child. I admit that I was moved by him. Such a rough man cried so much that he didn't even recognize his mother. There was no credit or hard work. Mickey Rourke's performance was spot on, if not great, and there's no reason not to be impressed by him. So his daughter finally agreed to start coming into his life. And his missed appointment again is a small joke in life. A tear can be exchanged for a trust, but the foundation is too shallow, and the daughter once again refuses to bring Randy, who is determined to live a good life, back to his original shape. What we can choose will one day be chosen by what.
Someone in the supermarket recognized him as Randy the Sledgehammer, so he put his hand in the machine and let the blood scare the people out of the supermarket. Then scolded and walked out of the supermarket to quit. There are many ways to quit, and his is quite special, and people who have never practiced will definitely not be able to use it. In his own way, he literally pulled himself out of a normal life, and it didn't matter if he was torn to pieces, and then he went to the end that didn't belong to him without hesitation - to die in the wrestling ring.
"The Wrestling King" is not a very good movie, but it is a movie worth watching. If he really wants to preach, he doesn't tell you that hard work will pay off, and tomorrow will definitely be better. He just tells you to live bravely, and then cherish what you have now, even if you lose, you must lose with integrity.
Each of us has the potential to live like Randy at some point in our lives, as sad, as failed, as lost, as relentless, as proud, or as stubborn. At the beginning of "Infernal Affairs", Brother Chen said to the little gangster who was preparing to take the police academy, "How to go, let you choose by yourself." No matter if you choose right or wrong, you always have to go, it just depends on how you go. .
