The Wrestler

eight out of ten

This was a great movie about an aging wrestler who does not have the success of Hulk Hogan. This wrestler was famous in his own right. He still gets recognized on the street. He still wrestles in smaller venues trying to make a living, but he is a broken man. This movie was very deep. It was a reflection on growing older and how this changes things. About opportunities lost, that we deeply regret, but somehow continue to act in ways that deepen this regret. Very thought provoking.
