Lucha Mexico (2016)
Love wrestling movies
This documentary is the real deal and gets into the world of Mexican wrestling in a way I've never seen before. It's entertaining and also gives a lot of insight the lives, the mask and fights. Features Blue Demon Jr, the late Perro Aguayo Jr, Strongman and Shocker who is the main protagonist of the film. Having seen many sports film this truly captures the lives in an intimate way that typically isn't done, and this made it an entertaining experience. I also enjoyed how the film captures so much of the world, and how Lucha LIbre has changed and evolved into something bloodier. If you think wrestling is fake then you don't get wrestling. This film does a good job to not give way all its secrets.
Beyond the Mat (1999)
old but good
This movie still holds up. I've been on a kick of wrestling films and wanted to see what I thought of this one again. love the insight and the stories of Foley, The rock and of course Vince. I don't think they've ever made a film quite like this before. There is quite a lot of ugly in it - and I can see why most people think the world is a dark place. Regardless of this, it's a piece of wrestling history and it's important it was captured. Nice to see where everyone is now after almost 20 years later!! WWE is still going strong and there is just something in this sport that keeps on giving. I also get quite emotionally during some of the scenes with Foly and Jake -- not easy to watch and borders on exploitative, but again I think it's the time period it was made. Wonder what they would get now..
