anyone else watched 'The Wrestler'?

[Cuckkleberry Finn]

Just got done watching this movie and holy fukk it's incredible. Mickey Rourke's acting and the story it tells is heartbreaking and keeps you hooked the whole time. It might be one of the best movies I've ever watched and it doesn't patronize the art of wrestling at all. I can't recommend it enough.

One of the most depressing movies of all time. There's no glory, happiness, or redemption in the story whatsoever, ol boy just dies at the end a bytchless broke hurt deadbeat

i mean they leave it ambiguous at the end...its not confirmed that he dies. maybe im just being too optimistic tho

at least we can assume he goes over

Even if he didn't die, still nothing good in the movie happened to him. shyt it might actually be even more depressing that he didn't die

Now that we have this thread here, I can finally ask a burning question I've had for years:

Are we to assume that the Ram Jam was a splash, diving headbutt, or a diving axe smash of some sort? I expected a splash but the way Ernest Miller's character lays in the end makes me think it was something else.

Best parts were when he did coke and smashed that chick who loved firefighters and the match with Necro Butcher. Need more dramatic wrestling movies.

i was under the impression that it was a modified diving headbutt while he held his hands to his ears to look kinda like a ram, maybe landing on the elbow sometimes

Great movie and one of Rourke's finest. Mainly because he was portraying himself. Not a wrestler obviously, but a once incredibly famous superstar, now a broken man trying to reclaim his lost fame.

I've written an unfinished TV pilot in a similar vain to this film but doubt I'll fully devote my time to finish it off. I'm not an experienced writer either so was just getting some thoughts down on paper.

Wrestling's circus of characters are some of the most interesting people in the world.

Damn good watch. And co-sign on Marisa Tomei

 

[Reggie]

If you haven't seen it then you are missing out on a great movie. It was sad as hell but also realistic at the same time. And it makes you think about the things these wrestlers really go through being on the road for days weeks and months at a time.

Should be a mandatory watch for hardcore wrestling fans.
