Crazy Heart

On friday February 19th I went to balmoral Cinema to see the movie Crazy heart an musical drama. Bad Blake(Jeff Bridges) who is an down and out country singer-songwriter who has an drinking problem is playing one nights stands in small town bars in Southwestern USA and has failed marriages as not seeing his son for 24 years. he is on the road all the time staying in cheap motels, traveling in the car alone and tends to stay up watching sleazy tv. Journalist Jean Craddock(maggie Gyllenhaal) who has an 4 year old son Buddy(jack nation) and is divorced interviews Bad for a story which they enter into an relationship and they become the catalyst in Bad to getting his life back on track. Tommy Sweet(Colin Farrell) an successful and popular country singer renews an relationship with Bad who was an student and is one an opening act @ one of tommy's concerts. the relationship between Jean & Bad helps him to rethink his life and it's gets very interesting. Awesome and brilliant acting by Jeff Bridges in his Oscar Winning role as well Maggie Gyllenhaal's Best supporting Actress Nominated Role as Jean as well as Jack nation as buddy, Colin farrell, RObert Duvall as wayne Kramer an friend of Bad's and others as well. The music is great as well as the story being funny, touching and sad. I gave it 4 and a half stars
