Watched Black Swan (2010), directed by Darren Aronofsky. It’s about a ballerina obsessed with perfection in her lead role in Swan Lake. It drives her to lose her mind. She deals with hallucinations while navigating her life and work. There’s a lot of similarities between Black Swan and the Wrestler: quest for perfection that takes a huge toll on the main character. Excellent movie. Saw this one when it came out and it’s as good as it was. 8.5/10 #nodereviews

The POV behind the main character is another similarity with the wrestler
The Wrestler was fucking sad.
Have you seen Birdman?
I feel so bad for Mickey Rourke’s character every time I watch it. He was so close to being happy.
Saw birdman at the movies when it came out. I should download all the iñaritu movies and add them to the festival
The Wrestler is one of the all-time greats. Pure crushing, heartbreaking genius.
The wrestler was amazing. I was rooting for the main character the whole time, even though he makes the worst decisions
