The Wrestler (2008)
Movie
Released
Randy's identity depends on an audience that can recognise him more easily than the people he has hurt can trust him. The closing image preserves the conflict between that recognition and the possibility of another life. The film does not need to certify every later consequence for the choice to feel painful, or to turn his longing into a lesson he has neatly learned.

About The Wrestler
Aging wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson is long past his prime but still ready and rarin' to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a particularly brutal beating, however, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a serious relationship with a long-in-the-tooth stripper, and tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter. But he can't resist the lure of the ring and readies himself for a comeback.
