月曜日、日比谷のシャンテシネで「レスラー」を観てきた。
かつては人気を極めたものの今では落ち目のレスラー、ランディ（ミッキー・ローク）。ある日、 ステロイドの副作用のために心臓発作を起こし、レスラー生命を絶たれてしまう。家族とはうまくいかずストリッパーのキャシディ（マリサ・トメイ）にも振ら れ、孤独に打ちひしがれる中で、ランディは再びリングに上がる決意をする。CinemaToday
不器用な男の、かっこいいのだけど切なすぎる映画。エンドロールのBruce Springsteen "The Wrestler"が泣ける。マリサ・トメイもミッキー・ロークも、きっと今この歳でしか出来ない演技。余計な台詞も説明も無く、息づかいや背中で演技。泣ける。
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, friend, 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 stay
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
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, friend, 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?
