Director: Darren Aronofsky
To tell you the truth, I never liked watching wrestling because I always knew it was fake & it was meant to entertain void minds. I watched this movie on a recommendation & I'm glad I did.
The wrestler is a story of a professional wrestler, a husband, a father & a loner.
Mickey(randy) once a famous pro-wrestler is, now, after 20yrs a loner who has trouble paying his rent & with that he has health concerns too. Randy takes steroids and it results in a heart-attack after a match & the doc advises him not to take that stuff anymore & also quit his wrestling career as he feels his heart wont cope up with him.
Randy has a crush on a most-wanted stripper of a club that he frequently visits named Cassidy & he looks up to her for affection and care. Randy also has a daughter on whom he had walked out several years ago due to his career. Now, that Randy is lonely he visits his daughter & tells her that he had an heart-attack but she is furious with him & does not care for him now for he walked outta her life when she needed him the most. But later on, she succumbs & loves her father back.
The father-daughter relationship shown in the film is beautiful.
There a couple of very good scenes in the film lyk the wrestling match in which staple-guns were used is breath-taking & the scene in the final parts of the movie where Randy walks out furiously off the store where he works & calls his manager & tells him that he would lyk to take up wrestling again.
P.S. Worth a watch. Never really expected a big guy to act so well. Rated R.
