I downloaded The Wrestler, a Golden Globe Award-winning film directed by Darren Aronofsky.
Highly recommended.
Click PLAY or watch the trailer on YouTube.
Mickey Rourke is a strong candidate for Best Actor at the Oscars. He is deserving, perfect in this memorable role. (Thank God the original actor chosen — Nicolas Cage — stepped away from the project for Rourke.)
Marisa Tomei I’ve never liked. But she’s excellent in this film.
Both actors are completely believable in a study of the psychology of getting old. And coming to terms with the end of your career.
We’re all getting older.
