OUR exclusive review of film:
A REVIEW OF 350 Days. Calvin Schwartz
Wrestlers: wonderful human beings, caring, touching, emotional, sensitive. You don’t want this film to end. Glimpses next, hopefully to capture essence. Slam you down on the carpet in front of your TV so you want to watch.
Honesty, bonding, willingness to share. Wrestling is about providing for your family. Riding in cars endlessly was torture. Telling someone what wrestling is all about is like telling a kid there is no Santa Claus. Wendy, smiling with her horse just behind, “couldn’t have children, pets, but my time in the ring the highlight of the day.” This was so tender for me. For George Steele, 350 days working was a “living hell.” Tito Santana, “Missed kid’s birthdays.” A poignant introspection. He’s a teacher these days.
They talked sadness, love of the game, broken marriages, fan abuse, which was rampant, drugs, alcohol, pain, and injuring just about every body part. I’ve said enough about content. But know this, I don’t do movies twice. I did here. I love human beings, wrestlers, emotion, caring. What a beautiful film. Each one said they’d do it all over again.
