    Film - The Wrestler

    Film - The Wrestler

    I had heard good things about this film and being nominated for an Oscar made this a must see movie for me. I was not disappointed, this is a great film and Mickey Rourke did an amazing job. The only negative for me was the end, I hate ends like that.

    Plot
    ----
    Mickey Rourke (in a Golden Globe-winning, Oscar-nominated role) stars as retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson, who returns to the ring and tries to work his way up the circuit for a final shot at defeating his longtime rival. Along the way, he tries to reconnect with his daughter, Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood), while exploring a relationship with a stripper named Cassidy (Marisa Tomei, also nominated for a Golden Globe and Oscar).

      I agree, the movie is great. Mickey Rourke made a great work, he really seem to be living that crappy state...

              It was a very convincing movie. You never for a second thought of them as actors playing a role. They seemed to really be those people... especially Mickey Rourke.

                  I think partly because he kinda did with his boxing career.

                                          NPR just re ran the interview with Darren Aronofsky for the DVD release. If you like the film I highly recommend going to itunes and grabbing the podcast. It really gives you some insight into the creation of this movie.

                                                  Most of the wrestlers were actually real independent wrestlers from smaller promotions like Combat Zone Wrestling and Ring of Honor. They guy that played the Sheik character is Ernest Miller, who was a long time wrestler in the old WCW promotion. That definitely helped the authenticity, along with the fact that Mickey Rourke actually received pro wrestling training from Afa The Wild Samoan's wrestling school (old time wrestling fans will remember him).

                                                  I loved this movie and it brought back some real memories. My old roommate was a pro wrestler, New Jack from the old ECW, and I used to travel with him a lot on weekends, and in the final year of ECW I worked for them doing promotional work. Most of the guys only worked weekends for ECW, and for extra money they would book themselves on small independent shows in little shit holes all over the US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and even Japan. It really was amazing to go to an ECW show on a Saturday with a few thousand people, and then some Elk's Lodge or Ramada Inn Ballroom on a Wednesday with maybe 50 people. You could go to a show in some tiny town in Arkansas and every person there would actually still believe wrestling was real...
