Aronofsky is the most overrated director these days. Everything he makes is meant for effect. He knows how to make fashionable films and is a good businessman. But I don't like him. Actually this movie wasn't bad, but all credit to Rourke. He showed again that he's the most talented actor of his generation.
Amazing movie. Of course Aronofsky is amazing as well. Genius director. Especially the small 'speech' Mickey spoke at the end was very touching. Very deep movie, very emotional, excellent.
I love this movie and I'm NOT afraid to say that I am a HUGE fan of pro-wrestling. It's ENTERTAINMENT, so Huck the Faters!! Pro-wrestling has been around for a very long time and has billions of fans worldwide, NO modern TV show can say that.
This is probably one of the best films I've ever seen. This makes up for Requiem for a Dream which I found to be overrated, and don't get me started on that film-school wankfest "Pi".
Mickey Rourke really sold this movie, as well as Darren Aronofsky's simplistic, but highly effective handheld digital cinematography. I used to mock wrestling like everyone else, but I came away from this movie with a new respect for wrestling. Sure it's all about the show, but they know how to pull it off.
I love this film very much. I didn't know that they deal about every fight move before the presentation. Haha Anyway Mickey Rourke showed brilliant acting and deserved the Oscar. Sean Penn was much worse in 'Milk' but I guess academics are obsessed with "gay rights" too much. Marisa Tomei was stunning too
terrible awful film im teling you watch the jesse ventura film instead its like martin scorsase directing a wrestling movie fantastic dialouge awesome acting incredibly accurate and beautifully shot watch that instead
I liked it up until I said kurt cobain was a faggot...remember rumble fish mikey ? remember loking like thom york on a scooter ? then I gave a lap dancer a lap dance and we didn't even see him kick the bucket in thering ... watch the jesse ventura story instead
This film is brilliant. I highly reccommend it to anyone, not just wrestling fans. Its a film about a wrestler, not a wrestling film. Yes there is a difference :D Its tipped off by Rourke's performance. He captures the emotion and everything else so well.
YEAH!!!!!!! MICKEY HAS DONE IT. Golden GLOBES for MICKEY ROURKE (Best Actor in a Drama) and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN (Best Music)--> Perfect lyrics.
I love Mickey's performance in that Movie.
I am a Wrestling Years for 20 Years and Mickey has shown us and especially all the non Wrestlingfans a great Character study of The Wrestler Randy "The Ram". You'll get a sneak peek of the World of Wrestling. WATCH THE MOVIE!!!!!!-- >>>Now Setting the Course for the OSCARS! ;=)
I almost cried!! this is one of those movies that reflects the real life of all those that work in the entertainment, sports and adult industry (actors, models, dancers, football players,etc) many of them end up like him, in the streets and forgotten by everybody once they r old and not profitable anymore.
I was replying to his comment he said why do i get of claiming all these things remarking with a smart comment either learn to read or stay out of my business!
You know who else is in it? Chuck Taylor, Necro Butcher, Nigel McGuiness, Erick Stevens, Clautio Castagnolli, and countless others in bit roles. I was constantly "marking" out the first time I saw the movie.
the killing was terrible and no one of that age should die like that. But you have to get the story from more sides and spreading the news by going into random youtube videos isn't gonna make any difference other than annoyance. Towards your off-topic propaganda. And yes he was in a riot throwing bottles at the police.
LOl, apparently I pissed off some of the "movie mob" here who thumb down comments praising Aronofsky's direction. I guess the general idea is "I'm a noob who lykes boring crap" when really I was commenting on the honesty of this film. It looks beautiful. Honestly, I just don't understand some people on Youtube-I was mistaken in expressing myself. Anyway, I am looking forward to Rourke's performance, I hope he gets some award (anything), He deserves it.
As long as Darren Aronofsky is behind the camera the film is going to be emotional, artistic, fantastic and inspirational. I don't know many film-makers today capable of such artistic highs and honest emotional realism. This is movie making at it's purest.
i love the springsteen song playing....cant wait for this movie...one of those rare films I can walk into with the highest of expectations and not be disappointed. =D
Man, this was SUCH a great friggin movie. Got a chance to see a private screening of it, with Darren Aronofsky Q&A-ing with us afterwards. Rourke is phenomenal, but so are Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. You GOTTA see this once it comes out, and support everyone's outstanding work. GREAT stuff!
i read a ruthlessreview for this. appearently Aranofsky is making a big golden apology for "the fountain." also, i met his kid sister. she's a fucking spoiled ditzy brat if there ever was one. still, the film looks amazing.
Is that R-truth at 1:40 ?
