Don't know what you got til' it's gone

The title is a soundtrack in the film, from the 1980s American pop star group "Cinderella". Hearing this song again after many years feels like an old male protagonist lying in bed alone looking at the poster of his former majesty in boxing, familiar but far away.

The protagonist, the old wrestling king "Sledgehammer", said that he loved the 80s, there were Guns and Roses in the 80s, Dave Lampard, Motley Crewe, "until the sissy Cobain appeared in the 90s, Everything was ruined. Everything was bad in the 90s." It

is not surprising to say that, because the 80s was his golden age, when he won countless championships and honors, and his young and powerful body allowed him to conquer everything, But now, he is old and needs to live with hearing aids, and he needs to rely on drugs to relieve his pain. When he is lonely, he can only go to a familiar stripper for emotional comfort. Due to heart problems, he is no longer fit to stand in the ring because of his old age.

Clapton has a song called, Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out. Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves will always die on the beach. A famous lead singer of Chinese rock once said: "The world always belongs to the latecomers, and we will eventually become paving stones or stumbling blocks." No matter what you do, there will always be a day when you can't do it. One day, when you are really dying and can't bring anything to the people around you, who will remember you?

Sledgehammer hates the 1990s because he can't face the kind of life without a sense of existence. Let him sell meat in the supermarket while looking at the face of the supervisor who studies adult movies in the office. It's better to let him fight happily. Die in the ring, because his heart only belongs there.

Oscar did not award the award to Mickey Rourke in the end, but to Sean Penn. Many people who liked this film feel sorry for Lao Mi. What do you regret? The Oscars are for acting, has Mickey "acted"?


(In addition to Sweet Child O Mine, I also heard Ratt's Round And Round, Accept's Balls To The Wall these metal famous songs, very exciting).

    The fifth star is the ending song for Bruce Springsteen.

    Darren never looked back on the road of brutal realism, but he never imagined that he could shoot such a fierce subject to near perfection. Mickey Rourke was not all acting, maybe he was showing his bad state at a certain time. , fortunately he jumped out. The wrestler's final leap is a classic in film history. It doesn't matter whether he wins the championship or not. The ending song is a tear-jerker. Thank goodness the Venice Film Festival is the best for me

The Wrestler quotes

  • Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: I just want to tell you, I'm the one who was supposed to take care of everything. I'm the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody. It just didn't work out like that. And I left. I left you. You never did anything wrong. I used to try to forget about you. I used to try to pretend that you didn't exist, but I can't. You're my girl. You're my little girl. And now, I'm an old broken down piece of meat... and I'm alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don't want you to hate me.

  • Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: When you live hard and you play hard and burn the candle at both ends... in this life, you can lose everything you love, everything that loves you. Alot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again, they said "he's washed up", "he's finished" , "he's a loser", "he's all through". You know what? The only ones gonna tell me when I'm through doing my thing, is you people here. You people here... you people here. You're my family.
