It looks like a big steaming heap of shit with men acting all sensitive and crying like bitches. I hate all these modern sensitive drama flicks. Damned political correctness. Whoever invented it is probably laughing in Hell right now.

Yeah because all movies with men in it should have guns, explosions, sex and car chases. God forbid if they ever show any human emotion on screen. I'm so sure you would cry too if you lost everything and was regarded as some washed up has been.

Close your cock holster and watch the movie before you spew your nonsense.

This movie may be a work of fiction but the stories which inspired it are very true. There are many wrestlers who's lives resemble this story

You are missing out on a very good film just because you are scared of men showing their emotions. Have you even seen the trailer?

Saw it last night, excellent.

beautiful movie. words don't do it justice. rourke's expressions throughout the movie were brilliant. his eyes did all the acting really. oh and props for Bruce Sprinsteen for making his entrance theme.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: i love that autograph scene where he's just looking at all those old wrestlers. that shot alone was a summary of the whole story movie. btw, he dies in the end right?

I pretty sure he did. He has lost pretty much everything and went out with a bang.

It's probably pretty obvious he was [SPOILER - highlight to read]: on his way out once the pains started during the fight, the bit where he looks up to where the woman he liked was standing to find she was no longer there was heartbreaking, made him carry on, not bothered about what happens to him.

yeah. epic stuff. and seriously, even the bit where he salutes the crowd in the ending was beautifully done and great expressions. btw, i honestly felt that the movie was what Rocky would be like if he hadn't gone ahead and won the title in Rocky2. it had the same idea of self-respect and being beaten up by the world.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: btw, i so wanted to kill his daughter. the man is dying, comes back to apologize, explains himself, literally cries his eyes out........and she ditches him all over again because he was 2 hours later. "boohoohoo it can't be put together boohoohoo...its broken boohoohoo"
burn in hell biatch! mad

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: and i was waiting for Ram to f0ck up that baldguy who kept messing with him the whole movie. too bad it never happened.

This movie was great. Like everyone's said, Rourke was amazing. Honestly, if that man doesn't get the Oscar, then well.... he just should! Parts were heartbreaking; everything was done well. I highly recommend The Wrestler.

Couldn't help fallin' in love with Randy, the way he teases the kids and how he's just a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. Makes the story that much more tragic. Also the whole thing was very relatable, even to a girly girl who's never watched a second of pro wrestling.

and the worst part is that there are actually wrestlers who end up like him. an extreme case was the late Chris Benoit but fact of the matter that he gave his body and soul for the business but got squat in return.

people don't steriods with pleasure but in desperation because they need to keep up in a business that is brutal and unforgiving.
RIP benoit.

Did Rourke use steroids to get as big as he did for this film?

It seems like the guy's face was broken out pretty badly in the trailers I've seen. Unless steroids are part of the plot and he was made up to look that way.

Don't spoil it though, I intend to see it. smile

That was indeed a great scene. A scene amongst many that will stay with me for a while.

I don't know how to post spoilers so im going to try and respond to your spoiler as carefully as possible. Even though, i dont believe it would be spoiling by divulging the ending. As MP said, i too think it's very obvious what was happening to Ram as he mounted the the top of the ropes. I mean, if you have seen anyone experience that then you know Rourke did a great job in expressing what was happening to Ram. I also think it was implied what happened to him after he started having the pains near the end of the match. His pains didn't seem to be to severe and the match was nearly over. After his opponent (friend) was pleading with him to end it you could see an internal debate taking place in Rams mind. Then, after he looked up at the corner and saw no one standing there he realized that the only true love in his life would only ever be his fans. That his when he decided to give them what they all wanted...,the ramjett. The Ramjett is what i think sealed his fate.

IT was implied by Rourke himself that he did but never actually verified. Either way, Rourke is a fit dude (fit as in built, not fit as in how english people employ the term) he keeps in shape by sparring and using boxing conditionings. If he did indeed use steroids to fit the part. That would impress me. The guy desperately wants to act again and he is a great actor. He shouldn't be ostracized because of poor decisions in plastic surgery.

This is coming to my favorite local theater friday, I am excited! I'm looking for a end of the year film to please me. I saw the reader and gran torino and was dissapointed by both so I'm hoping either this, frost/nixon, or revolutionary road are great! (I still haven't found a movie that even touches the greatness of my 2007 faves: No Country For Old Men, and There Will Be Blood.

yeah, thanx. i figured as much just wanted to be sure. i mean look at evil dead. from the looks of it, Ash dies in the end of one but then comes two and three and whole load of comicbooks and videogames. i hope they don't ruin it by making a sequel. like i said before, it was like Rocky but with the hero being a wrestler instead of a boxer.

also to use spoilers just put the word "spoiler" in square brackets at the beginning what you want to type as a spoiler (obviously without the inverted commas) and then "/spoiler" in square brackets after you've finished typing the spoiler. and in case you were wondering, you do the same thing to type in bold and italics....only this time you jus put [b] or [i] instead of [spoiler]

Oh yeah, definitely and to be fair, dude still claims that he has never received plastic surgery but only necessary surgeries due to boxing injuries. There is no way that i can believe that though. Buddy doesn't have cheeks anymore laughing out loud. It doesn't matter i wasn't flamming him or trying to judge him. I just think it's shitty that Hollywood did for such a long time.
