Although I’ve seen Pi, Requiem for a Dream, I still believe The Fountain is Darren Aronofsky’s masterpiece.  The Wrestler is Aronofsky’s latest film with Mickey Rourke taking the helm as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, an aged wrestler that lives for the thrill of his profession despite his aging body.  After watching the trailer, I thought Mickey Rourke really captured the role of seasoned wrestler who can’t give up the game, m.i.a. father/bff to Evan Rachel Wood’s character and comfort buddy to Marisa Tomei’s role.  The trailer shows no sign of visual effects like that of The Fountain.  Instead Aronofsky lets Rourke close the deal on this movie.  And with Clint Mansell behind the soundtrack, this should be a winner.
