Introspective.\u00a0 All hallmarks of the best of the best.\u00a0 From the minute Jeff Bridges appeared on screen, I knew I was seeing an award winning performance. And with the recent flood of accolades for Bridges, including a Golden Globe nomination, seems that many of my colleagues also felt the same way.\u00a0 Can an Oscar nomination and the possible grabbing of that elusive little gold guy be too far behind?\u00a0 I think not.\u00a0 This is the performance of Jeff Bridges\u2019 career.<\/p>\n<p>Bad Blake is a country legend.\u00a0 He was country when country wasn\u2019t cool.\u00a0 But now at 57, Bad is down on his luck; a broken down, drunken, has been, forced to play bowling alleys and dive bars singing for his supper.\u00a0 Sadly, his biggest problem is that his supper continually flows from a whiskey bottle.\u00a0\u00a0 Still talented and still hungering for the limelight, success has passed him over due to his reckless ways, electing instead to shine its golden light on Bad\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Tommy Sweet.\u00a0\u00a0 Rocketing to the top of the \u201cnew\u201d country charts, Tommy\u2019s success has driven the two apart and while a collaborative effort between them could prove beneficial to both and possibly salvage Bad\u2019s career, pride, embarrassment and Tommy\u2019s handlers stand in the way.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe Bad\u2019s luck is about to turn when he meets up Jean Craddock, a local Santa Fe journalist set to do an in-depth feature on Bad.\u00a0 Of course, Bad\u2019s idea of in-depth and Jean\u2019s are at opposite ends of the spectrum &#8211; at least initially, thanks to Jean\u2019s poor track record with men and her single-minded desire to raise and protect her young 4 year old son, Buddy.\u00a0\u00a0 As to be expected though, it doesn\u2019t take Bad long to wield his wiles on the unsuspecting Jean, however, the result is something neither Bad nor Jean ever anticipated.\u00a0 Unfortunately, a leopard doesn\u2019t change his spots and near-tragedy occurs when Buddy is left in Bad\u2019s care.<\/p>\n<p>Taking two steps back after one step forward, and with life throwing him even more heartache and disappointment, will Bad ever crawl out of the muck and mire he has created for himself?\u00a0 Hmmm&#8230;sounds like a country song to me!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8758\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200759-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"2009-12-16_200759\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200759-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200759-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200759.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I bow to Jeff Bridges in this role.\u00a0 As Bad Blake, his emotion is raw.\u00a0 The drunkenness is honest.\u00a0 The candor refreshing.\u00a0 This is the finest performance of his career.\u00a0 Amazingly though, he almost didn\u2019t get this part.\u00a0 \u201cWhen I first got the script there wasn\u2019t any music attached to it so I kind of took a passer on it.\u00a0 Then when I found out from my good buddy T Bone that he was gonna do it, that filled in that missing piece.\u00a0 So when he got involved I knew the music was going to be top notch and it got me to the party real quick.\u201d\u00a0 And what about the music and Bridges\u2019 singing?\u00a0 Anyone that knows anything about Jeff Bridges knows of his musical talent as a musician and composer, but sing?\u00a0 That was new even to me and all I can say is\u00a0 HELLLOOOOO!!!!!\u00a0 He blew me out of the water.\u00a0 Absolutely phenomenal vocal and musical performances (as he does his own guitar playing as well).\u00a0\u00a0 But let\u2019s amp things up a bit and take Bridges from being a single to doing a duet, a duet with none other than Colin Farrell who makes a surprise appearance as Tommy Sweet.\u00a0 Ladies, you will be swooning in the aisles with these boys on stage together.\u00a0 Admittedly, I was never a big Colin Farrell fan.\u00a0 But since \u201cIn Bruges\u201d and then with the upcoming \u201cImaginarium of Doctor Parnassus\u201d and now CRAZY HEART, he has won me over completely.\u00a0 And his voice!\u00a0\u00a0 He can sing! And he sings good!\u00a0\u00a0 And he sings and speaks with a Southern drawl to boot.\u00a0 Put Bridges and Farrell together and they are unstoppable.\u00a0 You want an encore and more. Their chemistry is emotional, electrifying, connective and incredible to watch.\u00a0 PRICELESS!!!! And this extends beyond their singing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8759\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200823-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"2009-12-16_200823\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200823-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200823-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200823.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As for Farrell\u2019s performance as Tommy Sweet, he is sublime.\u00a0 The way that Farrell plays Sweet, so humble and even embarrassed by his success at the expense of his friend and mentor (which actually looks like a father-son interaction of respect, admiration and pride) is poignant and beautiful to watch &#8211; particularly in their duet scene.\u00a0 Not to spoil anything, let me just say this scene provides a nice little twist to the story that will melt your heart.\u00a0 According to Bridges, who also serves as Executive Producer, they only had 24 days to do this film which means \u201cyou\u2019re really looking for comrades that can get the fire going as quickly as possible.\u201d\u00a0 With Colin Farrell working \u201cmaybe 4 or 5 days\u201d it was crucial that there be chemistry between the two.\u00a0 \u201cWe hit it off right off the bat and we kind of approached the work in a similar way and got along great.\u00a0 I enjoyed working with him.\u00a0 And then singing together is a great way to strike up a relationship with your fellow actors, that harmonize and stuff.\u00a0 So that all fell into place really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maggie Gyllenhaal rounds out our triumvirate as love struck single mother Jean, and while she definitely plays second fiddle to the boys, she is emotionally effective and affective.\u00a0 According to Gyllenhaal, \u201cEverything in my life has changed absolutely and completely since becoming a mother\u201d, something which made a definite impact on her character.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter was almost 2 when I made the movie and I got to this place of [where I thought], \u2018I\u2019m also me.\u00a0 I\u2019m also an actress.\u00a0 I have this really strong hunger to express something that I hadn\u2019t had for awhile when she was a tiny baby.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 And CRAZY HEART got almost all of [that hunger].\u00a0 When I look at the movie I see Jean as really going through a similar thing.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s part of the movie inherently or if I put it there.\u00a0 But\u00a0 for Jean, she\u2019s got this 4 year old who, at least for a big chunk of time she\u2019s been raising alone, she\u2019s been trying to do good, trying to be good, trying to manage, and I think she just finally says, \u2018I need something for me.\u00a0 I need something that feels good to me.\u00a0 And I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s bad for me.\u00a0 It\u2019s better if it\u2019s bad for me.\u201d\u2019 I think she just takes it.\u00a0 And I don\u2019t think it could have been anybody [who she gets involved with].\u00a0 I think she really falls in love with [Bad Blake].\u00a0 I think it\u2019s balancing what you need in order to be alive and what you have to sacrifice for your kid.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8760\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200856-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"2009-12-16_200856\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200856-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200856-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_200856.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, although Jean may be Bad\u2019s love interest, there is more chemistry and bonding between Farrell and Bridges then between Gyllenhaal and Bridges.<\/p>\n<p>Not to be missed in his film debut is the adorable Jack Nation who steals your heart as Jean\u2019s son, Buddy.\u00a0 More than notable is a nice cameo turn by Beth Grant as Bad Blake\u2019s horny groupie fan.\u00a0 Good for her that we get to see a &#8220;mature&#8221; woman waking up in a motel room with a broken down once famous singer proving there&#8217;s more to life than young groupies.<\/p>\n<p>And what can one ever say about Robert Duvall. Even in a small role (or big one as producer) he weaves his magic and plays a vital part in the story as Wayne, the moral compass, mentor, friend and father figure to Bridges\u2019 Bad.\u00a0\u00a0 Described by T Bone Burnett as \u201cthe patron saint of the film\u201d and by writer\/director Scott Cooper as \u201cthe godfather of this film\u201d, Duvall, humble as ever, downplays his involvement, yet it is because of him the film obtained funding and casting.\u00a0\u00a0 It was, in fact, Duvall, who \u201creached out to Jeff [Bridges], I knew Jeff, sent him a letter, \u2018would you look at this.\u2019 It took a year to get [T Bone Burnett].\u00a0 It took a while to get all this together.\u00a0 When they got the money, then I helped wherever I could.\u00a0 I played a part in it and I also helped out with the casting.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8762\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_2009231-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"2009-12-16_200923\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_2009231-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_2009231-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-12-16_2009231.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Scott Cooper based on Thomas Cobb\u2019s novel of the same name, I applaud Cooper for his adaptation which adheres so closely to the novel.\u00a0\u00a0 The story is one that will resonate with almost anyone.\u00a0 Inspiring and hopeful, characters are muti-dimensional and very textured.\u00a0\u00a0 However, I do wish the film would have gone a but further in exploring Bad\u2019s relationship with his own son, particularly in light of his screw up with Buddy.\u00a0\u00a0 Parenting problems are clearly a big part of Bad&#8217;s psyche and demons that cried for more screen time.\u00a0 But in the grand scheme of excellence of this film, those are just picky little points.<\/p>\n<p>Barry Markowitz&#8217; cinematography showcasing the southwest is simply beautiful. Steadi-cam lensing of Bridges&#8217; guitar playing and performances is excellent. Production design is thoughtful with detail as to hotel rooms, Jean&#8217;s house and Bad&#8217;s house. Notable for me are the wardrobe details, notably the pants that Bad wears. They are Levi&#8217;s but not denim and it&#8217;s a fabric and style pant (just look at the hem and back pockets) embraced by the old time western Hollywood stuntmen who wore and for some, do still wear. Not a heavy denim, but a fabric that has more mobility and is lighter weight, able to be worn to premieres and the like, giving a cowboy feel without being denim.\u00a0 (Nudie&#8217;s on Lankershim used to be THE place to buy great western wear.)\u00a0 A great touch of \u201ccountry western\u201d authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>As for the soundtrack &#8211; fantastic. Eclectic and wonderful. Songs by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett, including the lauded and nominated \u201cThe Weary Kind\u201d by Bingham and Burnett are amazing.\u00a0\u00a0 Each song serves as dialogue to the film, telling part of the story, as country songs in and of themselves do.\u00a0\u00a0 Each is masterful and meaningful.\u00a0 Burnett\u2019s production of the music results in one of the best soundtrack mixes for a film that I have heard in a long time.\u00a0 Everything fits.\u00a0 Nothing feels out of place.<\/p>\n<p>Do yourself a favor.\u00a0 Just go crazy this weekend.\u00a0 Go crazy for CRAZY HEART.<\/p>\n<p>Bad Blake &#8211; Jeff Bridges<\/p>\n<p>Jean Craddock &#8211; Maggie Gyllenhaal<\/p>\n<p>Wayne &#8211; Robert Duvall<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Sweet &#8211; Colin Farrell<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Scott Cooper based on the novel by Thomas Cobb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias From the opening frame of CRAZY HEART, I knew I was seeing an award-worthy film.\u00a0 Pure, raw emotion.\u00a0 Heartwarming.\u00a0 Heart-wrenching.\u00a0 Joyous.\u00a0 Inspiring.\u00a0 Hopeful.
