I bought it for River Phoenix, and I shouldn't judge a 2003 film with the eyes of 2009. Think about it, Samatha is still 3 years away from breaking the arrow in "Broken Arrow". The subject matter of this film is good, country music, but unfortunately, the few people I saw singing in BLUEBIRD couldn't play the guitar well. Among the actors was Dermot Mulroney, the handsome guy who later fascinated Julia in "The Bride is Not Me". Although he wrote a song that made Trisha Yearwood fall in love in the film, the singing itself was really ugly. Miranda, played by the heroine Samatha, whose surname is Elvis's surname, moved people with the story of his father's death, which fell out of fashion after 2000. And this character is supposed to be a very attractive woman, but I feel that this woman is very thin, untalented, and can sing mediocre. Supporting character Sandera Bullock really. . . Let the earth explode. But over the next few years (past future tense) she starred in a ton of good movies, quickly became an A-list actress, and now she's gone. This woman has no role in the film. This film is too deliberate, a film that mixes music, love, family, and friendship.
All thanks to River Phoenix, this stubborn talent who died young, gives a very tangled feeling in a few eyes in the film. What I don't like is that the director of this film insists on making this selfish genius who can't really give himself to someone to like this yellow-haired girl with all his heart. He likes to change his mind, his eyes are arrogant, and he sings very affectionately. I feel that he originally wanted to play such a fickle, hurtful, and eccentric talented singer, but this script ruined it. Halfway through, I accepted that he took Miranda to a convenience store to get married, but then the conflict between them was taken lightly, and then it was divorce. It seemed that Miranda was not too sad, it was too shallow, and the director did not let Dermot Mulroney have a chance. At least have a good time with Sandra?
The heroine in this film is too temperamental and maddened.
The male protagonist is too temperamental to save the film.
