This year's 'The Wrestler'

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2010)

Similar theme's to 'The Wrestler'; an aging has-been trying to recapture the glory of earlier days even when all seems against him. Definitely it's own film though. Jeff Bridges deserves the Oscar for this. (I have seen all the other performances in that category.) Great songs in this film. I'm not a big country fan myself but the music in the film seems to be focused on 'real country' music as opposed to mainstream country. I imagine a 'real country' fan would appreciate the music and the film itself since it is about darker themes explored in country music e.g heavy drinking.
This is a great hard hitting drama all about the struggle's that are faced trying to find happiness, check this beast out.
