After having watched the Golden Globes awards presentation (yes, sometimes I am THAT jobless), I felt like watching 'The Wrestler'. The trailer was brilliant but I think I Springsteen's song and chords added to the magic.
The movie as such was great. A very different and heart-wrenching tale which, I have been told kind of mirrored Mickey Rourke's life.
Wasn't expecting the song to come out as the credits rolled... It would have been super-apt at some point just before the credits.. but what the hell... enjoyed it nevertheless.
The 2 Golden Globes it won, I feel it deserved.
To wrap up, well ya the lyrics of the song..... kickass stuff!

THE WRESTLER... by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display
Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me..

A must-watch!
