- Speaking of "The Wrestling King" director Darren Aronowsky, from the ten years ago spent 60,000 dollars to shoot his debut "Pipi" blockbuster, and even now with "The Wrestling King" won the Golden Lion, won Mainstream recognition, Darren Aronowski admits that his path has not been easy. He said: "The story of" The Wrestling King "is like my own experience. Of course, I haven't been covered in scars like Randy, and my family and life are also very happy, but my path as a director is still not very good. Easy. In the film industry these years, I have encountered more or less difficulties in several movies. The thing that disappointed me most was in 2002. At that time, I got a good job opportunity. "Batman Prequel", I like this comic very much. It would be a blessing for me if I could carry out a movie adaptation of this comic. But in the end, I dropped the job for some reason. Thinking, why did I choose to be a director? This question I put in "Wrestling King", but the question became Randy's question to himself, 'Why are you a wrestler?' The question is also the core of the whole movie, and I hope that the audience will find the answer in the film. "
- For this role, Darren Aronowsky has more thought: "Randy is a hero. Although he is very down in the play, I believe he can get the respect and recognition of the audience. This role is very Desolate, he is incompatible with the whole society, which is almost similar to the dilemma suffered by the same idealist in reality, and such things have been happening around us. Randy's encounters in life, I believe Any audience who has experienced setbacks can feel the same as Randy, but I don't want to show too much in these less healthy aspects. After all, this film still wants to give the audience some strength, some from life. "I hope that the audience will not walk into the theater with the idea of watching a tragedy, and frankly, this is an inspirational movie about old men."
