Mickey, The Wrestler, so sweet!

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2018)

What is so wonderful about the Wrestler is it works well with the material , the material itself is food for the machine that keeps on feeding and growing in and of itself - and also the editing, its very psychological yes, there is no one forcing him here or there, no, what compels the spirit is free, so he is trying, but it is in the editing that leads us to the triumphal ephemeral climax; the preceding scenes blend really well together in a contiguous manner leading to our final psychological decision, Mickey Rourke's character is at that fork in the road, here is an angel tugging at his heartstrings for a lasting climax ending or elsewhere is the erstwhile past, what he knows, what he loves, that fake love from his fans who only see him as the wrestler; So, it is too late for there is nothing to think about, everyone has told him he is a F up, he believes it, why mess up this angels life, it inevitable right? When the brain asks the heart what to do, for the angelic force inducing one to move away from peril and into sacrosanct ground , refuge or as Quasimodo would say, 'Sanctuary!!!;' it is too late for here the mangled Wrestler has no heart, at length everyone has taken their piece for the pieces lie strewn lost forever in all the towns he has ever competed.
