Aronofsky the wrestler torrent

With Rourke it's not so much an actor memorizing lines and delivering them convincingly, it's like watching a guy having gone through hell and now showing his scars. It's all good, because one look at Randy's face reminds us of all the hits and punches he must have taken in the past, and it all becomes real again.

So, Rourke obviously makes the movie, but that's not the only remarkable thing. Besides a very good performance by the beautiful Marisa Tomei, "The Wrestler" is also worth mentioning because it marks the first time Darren Aronofsky has made a straight forward drama that's not heavy headed or laden with too much symbolism. After the highly pretentious "The Fountain" such a movie was more than due.

The fine title song by Bruce Springsteen must not be forgotten, either. After "Streets Of Philadelphia" and "Dead Man Walking" this is his third soundtrack contribution that captures the feel of a movie beautifully. Props to Aronofsky for putting an emphasis on that song by letting it play over a black screen for a couple of seconds before the closing credits start to roll.

In the end, "The Wrestler" is such a huge success because Aronofsky made the right choice by insisting on Rourke to play the main role, and because Rourke more than lived up to the director's expectations. Sean Penn may have been very good in "Milk", but the character of The Wrestler is a thousand times more interesting and memorable, and considering that fact that Rourke will forever be remembered for this great performance, he would really have deserved the Oscar.

Before Aranofsky explored the life of a woman's struggles in the high arts, he took a look at a man's struggle in the low arts.

Mickey Rourke plays a man who lives wrestling, the only place he is loved. However, unbeknownst to him we all age. A violent stab to the heart, 'The Wrestler' is a startling character study, a grungy and disquieting look at the wrestling world, a vessel for spellbinding performances and a film with such a shattering emotional core that it becomes difficult for the soul to stay transfixed on the screen for the entire running time.

With the grizzle of 'Requiem for a Dream' and the heavy emotional core of 'The Fountain,' Darren Aronofsky has crafted a film that shares similarities with his previous work, but is also an original sector of cinema for him and his handheld camera to explore. This is one of the most moving and heartbreaking films of the 21st century.

An over the hill wrestler attempts to negotiate a comeback while maintaining one relationship and attempting to rekindle another with his estranged daughter. The film details all the physical and emotional turmoil the man goes through and at times it is really heartbreaking.

Everyone lost their shit for the real life comeback of Mickey Rourke in this, a comeback so powerful it resulted in this, The Expendables, and Iron Man 2.

This is definitely Rourke's best performance and The Wrestler is a pretty solid movie. The Wrestler is a stirring, well-played drama that seems heavy, but still leaves time for short moments of happiness and hope. Ultimately, we're all just looking for our destiny. Within the pantheons of terrific, rich character studies. Mickey Rourke at the time made a comeback so ferocious and game that you become glued to this man, rooting for him, despising him, and viewing his demise one second at a time.

The final shot always leaves me with grief and wonderment. Possibly Aronofsky's best film, but easily Rourke's best performance.
