What heroes and those who are at their peak are most afraid of is the passage of time and old age, how many people can keep that glory forever. In the wrestling industry, although there are many elements of show, but in order to win the love of the audience, it is natural to perform hard, and they are destined to be scarred by their bodies, but our protagonist Randy has persisted for 20 years. It is also shabby and needs to be maintained with the help of drugs and drugs, at least he is still in the wrestling ring. But although he is majestic on stage, he is a loser in life. His wife leaves him, his daughter doesn't want to talk to him, the audience is not as much as before, and he can't even enter the house when he can't make money. , was kicked out by the landlord, there are not many close friends, the only thing he has is the pile of briefing papers and a broken car.
The director deliberately followed the protagonist from the front to the back using the long-lens method of a portable camera. After seeing the people who were fighting to the death before they stepped down, they shook hands and drank each other there. Every time they prepared before going on stage, people were serious. Discussing how to attack each other better. This purely violent performance has been enduring for a long time, and it is actually a channel for human beings to vent. The people who just performed for them got nothing but broken bodies and poor old age. The most heart-wrenching scene in the film is when the famous wrestlers were signing autographs, making money by selling DVDs and souvenirs of their former glory days and taking pictures. The other people who didn't stay on the wrestling ring are dying in front of the door, and they can only read books there to relieve their boredom, which is really sad.
It is estimated that seeing such a situation, Randy planned to say goodbye to the wrestling ring, to meet the stripper girl, to mend the relationship with his daughter, and to find a serious regular job. It turns out that he can't leave the wrestling arena anymore, only there is the real him, and the one who sells food in the supermarket is just pretending to be very happy, throwing everything away and returning to the arena that can bring him glory .
This film won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival before, which is the best film, and then won the best movie song at the Golden Globe Awards. It was also named best actor by the Oscar. In fact, Mickey Rourke played very well. It can be said to be a true performance, because he also became famous before, and then he acted rebelliously and went his own way. Later, he was not an actor for a time, ran to be a boxer, and then came back to make movies. He had a role in "Sin City" before. , that was also a good movie. Now in his 50s, he came to play such a late hero, very much like his real portrayal. For this film, he deliberately studied wrestling techniques for more than half a year. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the theme song of the movie is really good, you can listen to it if you are interested, and the lyrics are also very good.
