a little disappointed...

i was fortunate to see the film called the wrestler and it was amazing and painful and very, very real. the film tells the story of a wrestler who was once an american icon but had become a struggling has-been just trying to live, after allowing the typical evils of celebrity and fame, destroy his family and his life. trying to pick up the last few pieces of his shambled life, this wrestler shows his vulnerability, sadness, pain, joy, and all other types of traits and emotions that plague and affect us all. and so the movie is almost summed up in this incredible song by Bruce Springsteen, which plays for the first time in the film's closing scene and through the credits. it is very touching. very touching. and somehow, this didn't make the cut for Oscar nominations. i don't get it. i am very disappointed with thier failure to recognize this song as one of the best of last year.

Here is the music video for Bruce Springsteen's The Wretler
