That and the dock scene at the end "I suppose you're my big brother" Both got me BAD.
I was vaguely paying attention to the audience during the movie because in some ways, depending on your level of knowledge of the actual story, you can predict and brace yourself for when you know shit's about to go down. Audible pops for the prosthetic leg (which leads me to believe very few people to this day realize that was a real thing), typical shocks for the suicide, but nothing was tugging on the heart strings for me because I already know how this story ends.
That dock scene fricking broke me (and pretty much everyone else). Not full blown boo-hooing but streams out of both eyes and sniffles. Sure it's typical Hollywood sob story cliche stuff, but I just couldn't anticipate that scene happening and it hit badly. That's the kind of shit that would've made me kill myself if something like that ever happened to my family.
Considering the film tells the story of Kevin’s triumph over a israeli curse I’m not surprised.
Don’t think for a moment the israeli ghost was somehow appeased, Kevin went over that petty b***h clean.
it's strangely overrated, it's a standard sports drama that pulled punches for some reason cause irl is sadder, unironically you can't kill david arquette is the best wrestling movie
>guy gets the world title >is depressed >gets kwabed in an accident >even more depressed >still wants to wrestle >can't >kills himself
None of these sequences made sense at all. I get he was stressed from the responsibility and his father but that should have went away the moment he got it.
Nope.
The 'mockumentary' called Kayfabe is still the greatest wrestling movie ever made, and it's FREE on Youtube.
#2 goes to The Wrestler because I watched it one night, capped like 15 screenshots of Randy the Ram working the Acme deli counter and Ramposting was born that night.
woke slop
this
How. There's no lecturing harridans, no sage-like minorities, no LGBTQ representation
they'll say it's because it's how it depicts masculinity but I think the movie did it just fine
How is it woke?
it's a bot
If you can’t see why you’re already too far gone
I feel like Michael B. Jordan should have been cast as Kerry von Erich so that was disappointing
what's so "B" about him?
B stands for bussy
Jeremy Allen White is relentlessly handsome
Maybe if you’re into bug eyed twinks
it was amazing but I think The Wrestler is still the best, it's a close second though
I loved The Wrestler but this one got that "inspired by true events." gut punch, not to mention that final line "I used to be a brother..."

Did Randy died or not?
Still The Wrestler for me.
jews hated how popular it was still won't mention it

inferior to the actual real life story and reduces it to tepid oscar bait, the casting is also dogshit
The Wrestler is superior in every way
Why did the actor who played ric flair not even try to get him right?
why did this blithering homosexual even appear in this movie
a romanjeet would put on an oscar-worthy performance by comparison
>how did he get hired
Look up his last name
B stands for b***h
Saw it in theaters. The girl I took was legit crying. Definitely worked the marks so I respect it for that.
Not even close. Best is picrel, literally Wrestling: The movie

It kinda felt like a hallmark movie for guys.

It's okay. I probably wouldn't care if I didn't like wrestling but it's fine. Minus the guy who played Flair that guy is a homosexual
I feel that Fritz is deeply misunderstood.
NOOOOOOO!!!! HE’S AN ABUSIVE CHUD THAT OVERWORKED HIS POOR BOYOS AND NEVER CARED FOR THEM!
