Yeah the main theme of the movie isn't aging talent so I don't see The Wrestler. It's more about mind games and mind battles a la Fight Club. Actually, they could've left some things out of this movie because they were trying to do too much to make it...intense...or whatever people want to call it.
I initially did not think this movie was geared toward a particular demographic but i can see why "masculine men" and men who are not into ballet would not want to see this movie. On another note, the movie is not automatically geared toward women. You have to want to see a movie that has some blatant parts but is really about mind tricks and, what I consider to be, cliff hangers dressed in classical music and a tutu.
I love ballet and was a ballerina when I was younger. I loved the dancing and ballet themes more than I liked the movie. Natalie Portman looked gorgeous, kinda like Jessica Alba in some scenes, but she was definitely "ballerina thin." I hope she was able to eat some food and gain some weight after they finished filming.
