Wrestler - 10/10 Rourke - 11/10 !!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2009)

Go Rourke, Go you son of a gun.
Before I delve into this movie, let me tell you something about me and movies: I do not like happy endings. Every time there is a happy ending, I (generally) think that the film was unrealistic. I sit there, watching my movie hoping that there is no happy ending.
Now, to the Wrestler, without giving away the ending, or whether it is happy or sad or neutral, or whatever, the Wrestler is one of very few movies that I have sat there and hoped for a fairy tale ending. Micky Rourke made me care for his Randy the Ram character so much, that I wished during the movie that the Director and/or Writer (not God, lol)would say: "Geez, Ram, you've been through so much that you deserve to have everything you want." Rourke created a truly amazing character in this film, I felt so much emotion for him!
