A character portrayed by Mickey Rourke in the terrific movie, The Wrestler. A burnout who lives for the fast times and glory of life at the expense of paying the obvious consequences. A wrestler who was once big
time and still dreams about getting back on
top. A man of passion that lives for the instant gratification of things in life. A flawed man, but one with good intentions. Some
people say there's strong Christian symbolism with the film that can draw parallels with the character
Randy and Jesus Christ. One of the many examples
people use to support this claim is Randy sacrificed his blood and body for his followers. And near the end of the film where Randy goes on the top rope reminds
people of Jesus in his crucifixion. Not to mention that 'The Ram' is the second most important animal in the bible, and probably the second best metaphor choice for Jesus next to Lion.
