This small-cost film that describes how an aging and lost soul saves itself. The plot is very simple and not fresh enough. It is about how an old country music singer who has fallen down and regained his confidence The story of is the kind of film that you know the end after watching the beginning, but this kind of film has always been not for the curiosity of life, nor is it to demonstrate the ability to construct drama conflict, nor is it fancy, it is a kind of soothing talk , The emphasis is on the subtle variations of the characters’ hearts, and those who are willing to spend two hours watching the movie will not care about its a little lengthy.
In a sense, the film can be regarded as the American country music version of "Wrestler". The soundtrack that complements the film's situation and the mood of the character and Jeff Bridges's easy-going performance support this small dish that is not a popular dish. Production, let it enjoy a glorious appearance in this year's Uncle Ao. Jeff Bridges won the statuette for interpreting the role of Bad Blake in the film. It has been nearly 40 years since he was nominated for the first time.
The narrative style of the film does not make the overall atmosphere too heavy or too weird like some music biopics or fictional character music biopics, but a little bit of joy is scattered in the calm and sigh, in order to achieve this narrative. The effect is that brighter tones are selected for the film screen, and the sceneries in the lens are also warm and pleasant. Moreover, its soundtrack is not suppressive and obscure, the style is comfortable and the melody is smooth, talk and call, from pain to awakening, it is mainly lyric, self-aware, and the dialogue between the heart and the outside world. Therefore, The whole film is quite vigorous under the background of such audio and video. The main theme of the film-a life of frustration and loneliness can also be pushed forward, and the rendering is appropriate.
Throughout the viewing process, the audience is like a wonderful musical journey through country music. It is relaxed, nostalgic, melancholy, and sentimental. In order to make the music fit the changing mood of the characters, the legendary musicians T. Bonn Bennett and Steven Brighton, who were responsible for the production of the film, also incorporated blues and R&B into the music in some paragraphs, and made the lyrics and tunes. The plot trend of the character's mood is closely related, and it seems to fit well. The OST of the film is worth listening to.
The starring Jeff Bridges is a versatile guy. He is a well-known photographer and a pop music lover. He has composed more than 200 songs and has also released a record, which he will perform. An old singer with a glorious, game life and poor evening scene seems to be more suitable. In the film, Bridges's performance is restrained and relaxed, and it can be described as calm and unrelenting. He uses proficient acting skills to interpret the introspection process of an underdog singer, and well grasp the ups and downs.
Usually, Bridges’ performance is of the second-eye recognition type. Because it is completely integrated into the life-like performance of the film, it is not easy to notice. However, in the subsequent plots, its extraordinary skill and control become more and more obvious. The ability of a complex character. This time, Bridges was full of drama as soon as he appeared on the stage. Just a few simple actions and expressions not only highlight the character’s personality, but also make the audience have a comprehensive understanding of the character’s embarrassment and helplessness and negative attitude. The name "Bad Blake" also makes people aware of his youthful behavior.
Among the countless frustrated fat and drunk cats in the world, Bad Blake is a lucky one. He encountered the love of a young single mother. He has a popular apprentice, Sweet Tomi, who is grateful and willing to help, and there is another person who can comfort him. The old friends who sent him to give up drinking, all these are the capital he can start over. It is not so much that Bad Blake fell in love with Jane is the beginning of a change in his attitude towards life. It is better to say that Jane’s 4-year-old son, Barty, helped practically. The joy of getting along with the children and the warm desire for the family made Bad Blake realize that he had been Many precious things have been left behind.
I haven’t paid attention to Maggie Gyllenhaal for many years. When she starred in "Death Illusion" with her brother Jack Gyllenhaal, she still felt youthful and rebellious. There was a taste of Annette Bening between the eyebrows, but it was different from Benin's cleverness, and Maggie had a kind of intellectual tranquility. In addition, Colin Farrell, who always played the role of killer, warrior, unlucky boy, and life-threatening kid, played a popular singer this time, showing the restraint and respect of an apprentice in front of his teacher, but not many roles.
In the film, Bad Blake has a song called "Fallin'&Flying", which sings, "Sometimes it feels like falling is like flying", it seems to sing the attitude and trajectory of his life. It feels, but it's just an illusion. The theme song of the film, "The Weary Kind", is deep and melodious, and the guitar accompaniment is skillful and smooth. The singer Ryan Bingham's voice is full of the vicissitudes of life, and he sings the hard sorrow and stubbornness of life. Reminiscent of "Blowing in the Wind" by Bob Dylan.
