I went to see "The wrestler" with Miguel (other of my best friends, Argentinean) yesterday and we left depressed because the thematic that the movie aboard. Before the movie we were talking about aging with no one around us, and then we saw how in the film the main subject was abandoned by his daughter and friends. The movie was well made and the main actor is awesome. Miguel told me that in an interview this actor said that it wasn't hard to represent the character due to he went through the same circumstances during his career. It is funny how the producers represent "the power of the U.S." in some of the scenes in the movie, for example when the main character is wrestling against the guy with the Middle Eastern flag and everyone is yelling ... "U.S.A... U.S.A."
I am not a fan of wrestling but you can see how some persons find is this kind of shows their frustrated dreams become truth. What I mean is what they are giving to people is what people really want: being a super powerful almighty being capable to destroy whatever represents a danger to his/her security. We can find it also in the talk shows, movies, cartoons and sports.
What are really watching? A reality or just a piece of the fantasy world where we want to live?
