It will embrace you

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2009)

Since my childhood days,I always interested in Professional Wrestling. A Private channel in my country was showing old school WWF(It wasn't called as WWE in those years of course) matches and despite the matches were being shown late at the night I was still watching them.And I liked them. I still do. For the memories that I have about Professional Wrestling, when I heard this movie, it made me so excited. But I was expecting a elevated action package with a lot of cool wrestling action. After Watched the movie, I've understood how I was wrong! This movie isn't about "entertainment" part of the Wrestling, but It's about wrestlers themselves. It tells you that what is happening when the lights have been shut down and wrestlers get back to their ordinary life. Movie, especially emphasis on Pro Wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson's life both in/outside of the ring. His relationship with his daughter,his bread and butter,and others wrestler's behaviors towards Rany, all of these are given with such a emotional language that it's impossible not to communion with characters(Especially with Randy).I didn't surprise when I've learned from trivia part that Roddy Piper cried after watched The Wrestler, because I also felt the same things. The Wrestler is such a internally, cordial movie that you might want to embrace it with teardrops as if it's a human.
