I found the movie easily accessible, even if I was never into wrestling as a kid I am sure that I would have found this movie just as enjoyable. It's definitely a good stand alone story.
Don't watch Welsh cinema lol theres nothing interesting about Wales at all. But yeh fantastic film best film released since American Gangster, though strangely don't think I could watch it a second time. I'd give it 5 stars.
I do not know anything about Welsh cinema, so I could not say. The movie did have a lasting appeal to it that was: "I don't want Randy The Ram to die." Whether watched once or twice or three times I believe that the same feeling will be produced unlike movies like "No Country For Old Men" where the more you watch it, the more appreciative you become of it. I think it's a lasting piece of film, much better than some of the crap released like "The Spirit."
The Spirit was without doubt one of the worst films ive ever had this misfortune of seeing, I mean what were they thinking? Yeh I agree with you about getting kinda emotionally attached to Randy the ram, leaves you wondering what happened when he left that top rope...
"The Spirit" will be in my memory for a long time as a cancer of the mind much like "Aliens vs Predator Requiem." Though "AVPR" was very easy to mess up, after reading a re-release of "The Spirit" in pop-up form, I came to the opinion that his character was too cool to mess up, was I sure wrong after coming out of that theater. For the ending of "The Wrestler," that ending does make me wonder the same thing, does he survive or is the final flame of his career?
Please do, for your sake and everyone around yous sake, the ability to tell other people around you how much a movie rocked is highly underrated. Thank you for the comment and sorry for not responding sooner!
Rourke was always my favorite actor.His work in the 80's was unmatched as far as ability to act whether the movie was good or not he was always brilliant.Hey how about reviewing 7 pounds?I saw your rant on the Keanu Reeves movie and this one is even worse.Go review it.
What do you mean "this one is even worse?" I loved this movie. I'll think about doing Seven Pounds, I've seen it and I like it but I could honestly go on a long tangent about how I thought it was very awkward(yet nice) him basically chopping himself up to help deserving people. I'll really put it into consideration, I really liked the story but Will Smith's character is kind of strange in his approach to making amends.
If you ever watched wrestling, the in-ring scenes will be the most nostalgic experience you'll feel for weeks. From their entrance music to them flying into each other. The backstage conversations only enhance the feeling you get when they go after each other in ring. If you get to see it, you will love it.
Heh heh, bit of everything then. You should check out some welsh cinema, I reccomend 'Twin Town'. You could maybe even do a review on it. Wales forever! Cymru am byth!
Yes it was a good film. I'm glad Rourke won the BAFTA for best actor.

Yeah, I'm glad to hear that much, Rourke's performance felt so incredibly fluid in that film.

My mother is German-Welsh and my father is Mexican-German, which basically makes me Mess-American.
