Blind Sided

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2009)

Honestly I hadn't heard of this movie until after it was nominated. The title is simple "The Wrestler" it tells you straight forward what the story is about. Or does it? I didn't see this movie until long after it was released on DVD. It was a shining title yet a small one, it didn't stand out among the other titles on my shelf such as "Pulp Fiction" or "Platoon". Even after I bought it I didn't put it in and take the time to watch it. Yet after I did I was sorry I hadn't watched it sooner. The acting was superb as well as the story in its self. The movie may be named "The Wrestler" but that may not be all that it is about. In the End I think it really alludes to the fact that once you are no longer on top no one cares. After you fall no one wants to be around you. Yet when you were once on top everyone wanted to know you and be with you. After seeing this movie I think the wrestler shines just as brightly as my big name titles.
