wrestling - Opis:
- The Wrestler is a film with many plot lines and is worthy of comprehensive analysis. Deep layers of hidden meaning are gradually uncovered for the audience as the hero’s perspective is adopted and life is seen through that prism. The author analyses the film in reference to popular culture and consumption. He seeks signs connected to patterns of consumer culture and displays the mechanisms by which the standardization of life, global uniformity and the terror of corporeality subjugate the individual. Finally, he looks at Aronofsky’s film from the perspective of the protagonist’s wanderings, of rites of passage, ritual process and the folk spectacle, which is a sort of game. The wrestler of the title role, played with bravura by Mickey Rourke, is in essence a tragic hero. We watch as he remembers his past fame, attempts to avoid further downfall, and finally, struggles for the right freely to choose his own fate (even though that choice means death) and to liberate himself from the shackles of the normative- -consumer cultural system. Aronofsky’s film belongs to the narrative tradition that tackles the great mythological subjects, such as the battle between good and evil, or between coercion and freedom.
