Spoiler Alert.... turn back now if you havent yet watched The Wrestler.











Do you think The Ram dies at the end? Or do you think he lives and ends up getting with the stripper?

The ending really annoyed me because of the unresolved questions i had.

I thought it was a great ending and it was only logical that it would end that way. Nothing at all in the film was neatly tied up, not his relationships with his daughter and the stripper nor his health. I think if you're only focused on whether he ends up living or dying then you might not have been seeing the bigger picture.

it is clear he has to die they were not too subtle about him being the "sacrificial ram" (hurk) and references to him as a modern day jesus were clear, even a little heavy handed even his final move, the ram jet, has his arms pointing east and west, like JC on the cross, and all the other sun gods that prefigured god's son he has to die for our sins-----he is the jesus that our fucked up world deserves

he was in the club with the stripper and he's bleeding as she's dancing she is like whoa you are all beat up and she says that bit from the bible (?) and Ram is like huh? and she mentions it is from the The Passion (of the Christ) and goes on like you should see it he (jesus) get his ass kicked for two hours etc... and she calls him (robin) the sacrificial ram

She is naked in most of the film. Looking pretty good for a woman in her 40's....
