The Wrestler - trailer & review
Shallow:
The ending was perfect in my mind. He doesn't die in the ring literally. Wrestlers like that almost never do, but they do die in the ring. Ram leaves everything he's got up on the that turnbuckle. That's why the camera gets left there. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
As for the song; I figure I should comment on it since I'm the resident Springsteen nut. It's brilliant (what a shock coming from me. Trust there are songs and aspects of his career I don't like). But given the situation regarding the performances this year I really don't care that it wasn't nominated. Of course it's better than all three other songs combined but it would have then been performed wwith all three other songs in a music collage and that would have sucked. The only thing that angered me when I heard it was snubbed was that I wouldn't get to see it played live, since it may not get played at all on the upcoming tour. But I'd rather not see it at all then see it as a segue from one Slum Dog song to anther.
Any of you that do like that song should check out The Hitter from the Devils and Dust album of 05.

Think so? I definitely like D and D the song a lot but there are some cool stompers on there like All The Way Home, Maria's Bed, and Long Time Coming. I always liked Leah and Reno is some great dark story telling, as is the Hitter. My personal fave from the album is Black Cowboys though. Amazing imagery and he really does a hell of a job meshing the modern black streets with the old west. Meaning he tells the story of a young black kid in ghetto as if he's telling a cowboy western, but it's done very obscure and bleak way. Simply phenomenal.

I guess because of the re-used riff it didn't have the same effect on me, since I kind of liked the first song that used it a little better (different writing style though lyrically).
