Mickey Rourke's comeback was a glorious one, as he starred in one of the most magnificent and thought-provoking films of this decade.
This film helps us see what happens after all the fame and glory flew away for a person in the entertainment industry who has lost everything after the 80's. Not only it is a glimpse of the underground wrestling industry, but more importantly, it is a portrayal of a very deep passion that goes beyond fame, beyond love, beyond the borders of human abilities, and how it shaped the life of a man.
And even though this passion has brought misery and a feeling of being alone, it brought a sense of being complete, of being fulfilled.
This movie somehow tells us: may we find this deep passion that runs in our blood help us find what could really make us complete.
And speaking of wrestlers, I was able to watch Wrestlemania 25, and I was quite surprised that one of the nominees for the WWE Hall of Fame is none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Yes, Stone Cold, the icon of the late 90's, the idol of the kids of the world. The one who made kids like us watch for more. We hear the broken glass. We see the ATV and the cans of beer. We see the middle finger and the best Stone Cold Stunner.
I'm sure that each boy who is turning 20 now has already heard of Steve Austin. I was a fan.
This Steve Austin is what we really call passion.
And check out Rey Mysterio's Joker Lucha Mask. Way cool.
