yeah, totally perfect ending. I guess its the ambiguity thats adds to the art of the thing.
So I saw the wrestler this past weekend now that its out in megaplexes. Not that I necessarily prefer an arthouse audience, but it seemed a percentage of the audience seemed to expect a typical action flick. So the fade to black ending left some audibly disappointed. ("thats it?!?!"). Not sure what they expected.
And actually, I mostly agree with everything Penn says, but the stream of consciousness and in the in-your-faceness of him running his hands through his locks was worth sharing.
