The Wrestler . The movie that won Mickey Rourke an Oscar, but Harvey Milk gave The Ram a cheap shot and Harvey ran out with the Oscar. Whatever though. Screw it. Mickey Rourke redeemed all those years of craptacular flicks and it almost covers Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man. Rourke's performance is heart wrenching and totally badass at the same time. The film was beautifully directed by Darren Aronofsky (Pi, The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream). The film works as a wonderfully strange allegory for Jesus Christ presenting Mickey Rourke as the Messiah, and Marisa Tomei as Mary Magdalene. The scene were The Ram shows off his scars......dead giveaway.
