The back of the hero

2008 Venice Film Festival St. Mark's Golden Lion Award - Wrestlers, there is a very special "weird" combination:

Evan Rachel Wood + Mickey Rourke + Aronofsky

Arrow is Hollywood "Strange Ka", from the peak of "Requiem for Dreams" to the failure of "Cherish Fountain" and the grievance of "changing directors" in the Batman prequel, kept Arrow and Hollywood at a distance, and the underappreciated Arrow did not. Bow down for "five buckets of rice".

Evan is also a Hollywood "weird beauty". Her ex-boyfriend is Marilyn Manson, an uncle from the visual department. In private, Evan is used to dressing up as the vampire queen in horror movies produced in the 1940s. Haha, and Evan Her personality is completely different from other women her age, eccentric, withdrawn, and coquettish.

Mickey Rourke used to be a popular little boy in Hollywood, and he was an idol of the same period as Tom Cruise at that time, but Mickey's eccentric temper discouraged many film companies, and Mickey gave up his film career and defected to Boxing ring! After a few years, Mickey has been injured all over, just like the ram in the movie, there is no place for Mickey in the arena of the movie. When I learned about Sin City, I saw Mickey appear on the screen again, but he was completely different from the previous Mickey, with scars on his face, tattoos on his body, and the figure of a truck driver. An old man who drinks and smokes all day long. If you haven't seen Mickey Rourke before, "9 and a half weeks in love" and "Wild Orchid", you can compare Ram and Tom Cruise in the movie, and the previous Mickey Key is more handsome and tougher than Tom Cruise. Every time I mention Mickey, I will think of the phrase, years make people grow old!


The three of them are all weirdos in Hollywood, but they gave me such a sincere touch. "Wrestler" is like telling the life of three people, they are the heroes in life!

Ram doesn't have many words and body movements, but he can express the living conditions of a hero: the alienation of family, the end of life, the financial embarrassment, the loneliness of life. More than once in the film, long shots were used, and they followed behind the ram to experience how much loneliness was hidden behind the cheers, and how much pain was paid behind the victory. However, when the applause and applause of the audience was won, everything was no longer important.

The hero said to himself: The world don't give me a shit about me.

This is the hero's loneliness, the hero's fate.

    Actually watching Q while chatting, it's not really hard. But for me, wrestling is really without aesthetics and no viewing...The protagonist’s struggle in the path of life is still very touching. The desolate situation can not help but make people embarrass the hero’s twilight, but it is indeed his own clumsy. He smashed everything he tried to fight for, and sighed...struggling for a lifetime without regrets

    Darren is the audio-visual guarantee. The extensive use of the scene makes the characters seem weak and lonely + the realism brought by the handheld. When the "20 years later" subtitles were released, I probably knew that this was an old and unreliable story, and it was not only about the old unreliable of the wrestling king, but also the old unreliable of the dancers in the ballroom. The most important thing is the unreliability of the 80s after the 90s. according to. The plot arrangement of the daughter's line is too rough, and the family may not want to talk about it.

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.
