Plus he's alienated from his child and she isn't.
Right. So there was a lot of that, and it just made a lot of sense and kind of worked, and so even though we looked for something else to do with it, there was just nothing that worked. And in reality, most wrestlers when they're done with a gig go to the strip club.
On the other hand, strippers don't go to wrestling matches when they've finished their work.
No, they don't, unless they're performing in them, because there are actually a lot of strippers who work the wrestling circuit.
Both performances are objectifications of the body for the purposes of a spectacle. One's an objectification of suffering and the other is an objectification of pleasure. I'm sure you've read Roland Barthe's two essays on wrestling and on the striptease, and that's what inspired you.
No, I never read them.
Is there going to be a Wrestler 2?
We'll see how this one does.
