The old man has nowhere to go, still my heart is wild, a guitar, still walking the rivers and lakes

"Crazy Heart" is a literary and artistic work that thoroughly describes the struggle of old people to come back from life, and there is almost no trace of Hollywood. Tom Black is an outdated country music singer. A guitar, go with the flow; a bottle, paralyze this life. Life is so simple, trivial and repetitive, with no beliefs to support and no goals to strive for. A broken guitar kills meaningless time, playing imprints of the past. He had no money in his pocket and no one to accompany him in life. It seems that his arrogant soul, who used to be all-powerful, has gone away, leaving Sora behind to spend the rest of his life wandering around as a walking dead.



However, when his life was walking in the dark clouds, he ushered in a twilight. A female reporter named Jane appeared in front of him by chance, which made him find that his life was a mess, and he was already corrupted. There is no cure. He loved the happy time with this girl and her son, even though he had a son he hadn't seen in over twenty years; he also had a lovely crush on the Russian girl in front of him, even though he had been married four times. It seems to be a combination of grandparents and grandsons, but it is extremely warm in the context of country music. Seemingly hastily hinted that this will be a new family combination, the elderly have found a spiritual home and a group to spend the rest of their lives with.



But when the hopeful balloon took off, it burst with a bang. So Tom Black's alcoholism, which nearly led to Buddy's disappearance, erupted into a hysterical roar to a mild-mannered mother. Tom Black did not become more and more indulgent and drink excessively because of his unsatisfactory feelings. Instead, this alcoholic made up his mind to give up drinking. It also made his depleted musical thinking rejuvenate with youthful blood, and swayed a wonderful melody. Not that he dared to give up, but that he learned how to face it.

Sunset, lake water, oblique light, Tom Black.
