THE WRESTLER FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
The Wrestler is a 2008 American sports drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky. The film stars Mickey Rourke as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a faded professional wrestler who struggles to maintain his livelihood and the relationships that matter most to him.
Set against the backdrop of the world of professional wrestling, the film captures the highs and lows of Randy's career, emphasizing the physical toll and personal sacrifices associated with the profession. As a former superstar of wrestling fame, Randy grapples with the reality of his aging body and the waning of his popularity.
In addition to Mickey Rourke, the film features a notable cast, including:
Marisa Tomei as Pam "Cassidy", a stripper who forms a complicated relationship with Randy.
Ernest Miller as The Ayatollah, one of Randy's wrestling rivals.
Mark Margolis as Lonnie, Randy's promoter and friend.
Rachel Evan Wood as Stephanie, Randy's estranged daughter.
The film delves deep into themes of redemption, identity, and the relentless quest for validation. Randy’s struggle reflects not only his fight within the ring but also his attempts to connect personally with Cassidy and Stephanie. As he tries to piece his life back together, his journey highlights the emotional battle faced by many grappling with issues of self-worth and the consequences of their life choices.
The cinematography, spearheaded by Maryse Alberti, employs a gritty, realistic style, capturing the raw and unfiltered world of independent wrestling venues. This narrative choice immerses viewers in Randy’s experience, making his triumphs and failures feel palpable.
Moreover, Rourke’s portrayal earned him critical acclaim, culminating in numerous nominations and winning several awards, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. His performance is often cited as a significant comeback in his career, with many praising the depth and sincerity he brought to the role.
The film also features a striking soundtrack, predominantly composed of songs by acclaimed artists such as Bruce Springsteen, whose song "The Wrestler" plays a poignant role in underscoring the film's themes of struggle and resilience.
The Wrestler is not merely a sports drama but a poignant exploration of what it means to seek redemption and love in a world that often feels unforgiving. It resonates with audiences beyond wrestling fans, appealing to anyone who has experienced the complexities of striving for acceptance and understanding.
An impactful watch, The Wrestler invites viewers to reflect on the sacrifices of those who chase their dreams, making it an essential film of the 2000s that continues to resonate with audiences today.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
