The Wrestler

Saw one of the most touching movies I've ever seen last week. Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler with one of my all-time favorite actors Mickey Rourke.

The movie is based on such a simple story, but that brings out the quality displayed by the director and especially Rourke so much more. This movie has made it into my top 3 movies of all time for sure. Pretty good poster too I have to say. Displays the mood and content of the movie very well.


It also features a kickass 80s based soundtrack as a backflash to The Ram's glory days as a world famous wrestler. A small selection:

guns n roses - sweet child o mine


scorpions - animal magnetism


bruce springsteen - the wrestler (written for the movie)
