The Wrestler (Shannon)

Thursday night, I went to see The Wrestler w/Amanda. Overall, this movie was sooooooo sad for me! I stil feel sad thinking about it. For several reasons but I think mostly because there wasn't much of a resolve at the end. And also it was so weirdly violent!!
There were some really awesome parts though--like this one w/Marisa--I love her and she was perfect!!!

And then there were a few scenes w/the wrestler and his daughter that were so touching! I loved that part of the movie the most---but it was also extremely heartbreaking!

Overall though, I will say this movie made me feel massive amounts of compassion for all people! I realized that the language of love speaks louder than any other. And I love people!!

Would I recommend this movie? Probaby not to 99% of people--but I bet there would be a few of you that would love it!!!

I liked your review, made sense to me, and I've seen him on a few awards shows - you know he knows he is lucky to be where he is right now. Seems truly greatful, so that is another reason I'd like to see it in the theater.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and I thought about it for days afterward. It was graphic (my eyes were closed during certain scenes - I'm sure you could guess!) but Mickey Rourke totally became that character and even though I haven't seen Milk, I think he should have won best actor (I'm updating my netflix queue so came here for ideas!)
