In terms of plot and character settings, this is a typical to somewhat mediocre redemption film. It is not even as exciting as last year's "Wrestler", but the reason why Uncle Bridget did not repeat the mistakes of Mickey Locke's failure to defeat. George Clooney, who was still in full glory in January, relied not only on his excellent acting skills, but also on his excellent reputation and popularity accumulated in the industry over the years. In this way, everything is ready, as long as the Dongfeng that highlights acting skills like "Crazy Heart" comes, it will naturally become famous. When you find that the world is fair, it is because people's hearts are fair.
Unlike Mickey Locke who interprets himself in "The Wrestler", Jeff Bridges, who is known as a good man, has played countless roles diligently over the years. He is completely different from the unruly Blake in "Crazy Heart". This should also be one of the reasons that moved the members of the academy. Under Bridges’ interpretation, the bad boy Blake is not an incurable person, but he has long lost control of his own life. He is not easily affected by alcoholism and he still indulges himself. At the same time, he is indulged by his apprentice Tommy. He became popular and felt disappointed, and his life fell to the bottom.
At this time, female journalist Jean and her son Buddy appeared in Blake's life. Men need women, women need men, and children need fathers. In this way, lonely hearts come together to comfort each other. But one side is a woman who has been hurt and can only rely on it tremblingly. Then, an unexpected accident occurred, and the injured party resolutely cut off the possibility of being injured again, and the one who injured others did not dare to make any promises.
But this woman and her son still gave Blake a sense of the beauty of life. He began to hate who he used to be because he had hoped for life again. Old partner Wayne knows Blake best and never insists on Blake, but helps him when he voluntarily regains his life. Blake, who had regained his life, no longer refused the kindly help of his apprentice. He compromised with himself in order to embrace the beautiful world again.
When he reunited with Jean, he knew that this woman had a good home, and he decided not to see Buddy again, knowing that all this was over. The woman in front of you doesn't love you so much, but she has taught you how to love yourself.

Fallin'& Flying——

'was goin' where I should not go
if I should not go to a place

Seein 'who I should not see
saw should not see people

Doin' what I should not do
made should not do

Bein 'who I should not be
I am not me

I never meant to hurt no one
I never thought to hurt anyone

I just had to have my way
just have to go their own way

If there's such a thing as too much fun
if happiness is a kinds of sin

This must be the price you pay
even if the price is also altogether

it's funny how fallin 'feels like flyin'
so the moment the mind fascinated

For a little while
fall and fly boundaries ashes

Funny how fallin 'feels like flyin'
so the moment the mind fascinated

For a little while the
boundary between falling and flying is gray,

you never see it comin' till it's goneI
regret it until I lose you, it

all happens for a reason
Everything happened for a reason

Even when it's wrong
even if initially destined heartbreak

Especially when it's wrong
doomed to heartbreak

    Jean Craddock: Well, now I know what I don't wanna do again.
