So many memorable scenes

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2011)

I loved it when he totally lost his mind in the grocery store. I loved the touching scene with his daughter dancing in the abandoned building along the boardwalk. I loved the arguments he had with his stripper friend and his daughter especially. Mickey Rourke truly carries this movie as a true leading actor should. He got robbed of an academy award that year. Sean Penn really didn't need another one - the problem with old Hollywood is that they didn't have the heart to forgive mickey the first time. Mickey's talent is for the world's gain and Hollywood's loss. i can't forget the back shot of Ram as he walks into the forest after his heart attack and suffers complete exhaustion - i felt so much empathy for the character. And of course definitely the highlight is the final fight where he confronts his own mortality - such heartbreak for the viewer. Amazing awesome movie from Darren Aronofsky. Unforgettable.
