In order to please the audience, they often use some very dangerous moves, plus many accidental factors, making the sport a chronic duel. Occasionally, you may be able to carry it, but for a long time, it will be a great damage to your body. One sentence in the film sums it up very well. Engagement in this sport is like burning a candle at both ends, and life and body pay a heavy price for it.
Mickey Rourke's role in a way is like a true portrayal of himself, a man who has gone through too many vicissitudes. The years have left indelible marks on his face. He is no longer the handsome boy of the year, and he is no longer admired by thousands of people in the boxing world. In a "Wrestling King", we saw the return of a hero. Although the hero is too late, although we see more of his tragic fate and helpless life, there is a kind of admiration from the heart, that is, the blood is still alive. Uncool bones are burning.
Life is often unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and human life is still longer than pain, so no matter how downhearted, don't lose your dignity, don't lose yourself, even if everyone is betrayed, you must prove the meaning of your existence.
So even if I'm an old dog, crippled and crutched, I'm still determined to try my best to live, even if I give up my life to prove my dignity.
"Have you ever seen a dog with a broken leg struggling down the street? You've seen it, you've seen me."
"Have you ever seen a one-armed man trying to fight a breeze? You've seen it. If you meet him, you've seen me."
"Have you ever seen a one-legged man want to dance freely? You've seen him, and you've seen me."
Again to Mickey Rourke and the Sledgehammer" pays homage.
