Life's a bitch

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2009)

Thank you once again Darren Aronofsky for a fine movie. Fans of his films will not be let down with this simple story of a pro wrestler trying to sneak by through life doing what he loves. Though things are on a downward slide for this poor fellow he never gives up and continues to jump from the top rope. Some of the other characters aren't explored much such as his stripper friend and his long lost daughter, but really I didn't feel it necessary. I got choked up many times throughout the film and at the end couldn't hold back the tears. Tears for the character and for just how life is a struggle to just keep above water or find someone that cares about you. Jimi Hendrix sums it up the best when he says "loneliness is such a drag". AT least the Wrestler has his fans, which for him is all he needs.
