Aquell jove cineasta que ens va bocabadar amb la la monocromàtica "PI", passant per la crua "Requiem for a Dream", i la incompresa "The Fountain" amb la rudesa d'un pes pessant com en Mickey Rourke interpretant un personatge que li va com anell al dit, s'obre la caixa de Pandora dels sentiments més dolorosos com la soletat i el fracàs.
Deixo un vídeo amb la cançó del Boss que rep el mateix nom de la peli, la qual fa de banda sonora i transcriu la vida del protagonista (amb el que tots ens podem sentir identificats en algún moment) de forma impecable:
Lletra de la cançó The wrestler interpretada per Bruce Springsteen:
Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood,
it hits the floor
Tell me, fan, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood,
it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot pay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display
Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me
