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?

Perhaps the best film of 2008 is director Darren Aronofsky’s masterpiece, "The Wrestler." The film, which stars the great Mickey Rourke, depicts the struggle of a physically and emotionally battered professional wrestler vainly attempting to cling to the glory days of his past. The title song from the film is also a masterpiece, and yet another brilliant feather in the cap of one of the greatest songwriters of our generation, Bruce Springsteen. If you want to feel the emotional power of a man literally wrestling with life, then you need to see Aronofsky’s film and listen to Bruce’s song. Both will remind you that life is a beautifully intense struggle worth every drop of blood that hits the floor.
