[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9797848, member: 11"] I saw [I]Deliver Me From Nowhere [/I](I think they changed it to add "Springsteen" to the title just before release) last night. I am a fan of Springsteen. Not a die-hard like some folks I know who have seen him in concert some ridiculous number of times (I've seen him twice) and listens to bootleg concerts and stuff, but he has several albums I would put up there with any I love (and that I own in more than one format - usually a sign I love something if I have the vinyl and a CD). [I]Nebraska, [/I]which is the album Springsteen is writing and recording (with bits of Born in the USA) in the film, is my favorite Springsteen record. It is sometimes referred to as the Springsteen album for people who don't like Springsteen, but I love Springsteen and I love that record. Anyway, if you know me, you know I am not a huge fan of movies these days and I rarely go to them, and I wasn't sure how I felt about the film while I was watching it. Parts felt repetitive and too "explainy," but ruminating it on it over night I find myself increasingly open to its approach. It just strikes me as such an interesting choice to take an energetic music artist known for his long, loud, and crowd-pleasing shows, and focus on one of his low points dealing with depression and trying to get this VERY dark record made right on the cusp of his explosion into the mainstream. What I like about it is that it doesn't go for the tired music biopic trope of the triumphant moment of performance (like that execrable Queen movie) but remains quiet and basically comes down to the point that maybe you should get some therapy before you harm yourself and continue to hurt the people around you. It feels perfectly fitting for a movie built around [I]Nebraska [/I]and for Springsteen's soft spoken vibe that belies the energy of his music and performance. I wasn't sure where else to post this. . . so there ya have it. [/QUOTE]
