I didn't like the ending

The movie really took me down memory lane...wrestling was my s*%t

Did he die or what?

 

[moneyright]

he did die, he turned down his girl, quit his job, and did the most dangerous move, interpreting ending

The most powerful scene to me was all the has beens signing autographs and one of them has a dialysis machine. Move is WAY exaggerated as far as prowrestling is concerned, if you are interested in the real look into wrestling I would suggest reading Bret Hart's book, its 500 pages but you cant put it down, as a long time wrestling fan (Hogan/Andre was my first match), its an easy read cuz I recall many of the matches he wrote about on TV. As far as the ending is concerned, I would imagine he died cuz I doubt his heart could take a spot like that anymore, but Darren Aranofsky sp? was always a weird director to me anyway, and lastly is it me or does The Wrestler take shots @ Jerry Lynn w/o meaning too?

Excellent piece of film making.
