I have been lonely. My whole life is like a rolling stone.
I do n’t stop. All my efforts
are just to keep you by my side

"Crazy Heart" itself is an American country song: simple, old and sad. Full of faded memories and a little bit of Western-style freedom and wildness, neither deep nor extreme, but full of perceptual vicissitudes, which is interpreted by Jeff Bridges' husky and thick voice, which is quite flavorful.
This kind of country music is still more spiritual and sincere than ordinary pop songs, and can be tasted carefully, but it is obviously not rich enough in comparison with classical music. "Crazy Heart" is also in the same position: over half a hundred years old country singers have found the true meaning of life again. There is nothing new in this story theme, "Go with the Song", "The King of Soul Songs", "Life of Roses" And so on, the path that movies describing musicians have taken. However, "Crazy Heart" is not a biographical film, it is more like "Little Girl in the Sunshine", "Smart Man" and other independent films that describe losers, insinuating the taste of life with a cross-section.
Friends who like to listen to jazz, bluegrass, country and other music know that this kind of music listens to a "taste", it is a human voice, and the lyrics and orchestration are as simple as possible and never overwhelming. The singer's life experience is conveyed from the warm voice, his tone and ups and downs hold the listener's emotions, but his skills are the most important. Therefore, the hero of the movie, the bad boy Black, is often drunk and drunk before coming on stage, but singing is still so attractive; so the bad boy must have a bumpy past, and his students can't sing his taste. The same is true for the film itself. As the director's debut, its narrative is relatively loose, lacks rhythmic changes, and the theme is not very clever, but you can still be amazed by it. In this film, if the story, narrative, and theme are regarded as the lyrics and mode of the song, then the starring Jeff Bridges is the human voice and the voice. With his interpretation, the taste of the whole movie has come out-his performance is not much better than the superintendent who played in the "Big Bowling Bizarre Kidnapping", but the calm and free style is enough. Support the film, worthy of the Oscar for Best Actor Award. Although Maggie Gyllenhaal doesn't have many plays in the film, they are all solid and true, and very glorious, like a female vocal who sings for Bridges, in co-production and rhyme.
The film that won the Oscar for Best Original Song is "The Weary Kind", but in fact, "Somebody Else" is more appropriate as the theme song. The lyrics of this song can be regarded as a summary of the life of the protagonist "Bad Boy". It is as simple and delicious as the film. Although it is not a classic, it is enough to sing with you tonight and sing:
I was the queen of the sea,
guess me tomorrow for the water and who
had the desire bustling fame Road
no commitment to one end of Avenue abyss
had bowed glamorous roots
in the end both physically and mentally trap difficult to extricate themselves
now I from freshmen
in the past for various let go
once the water after the sea
guess I tomorrow and who
btw, The lyrics are translated by myself.
