Review of Crazy Heart (2009) by Ben M — 01 Dec 2013

An interesting and at times, one of the great American movies of the last few years. Great acting, a well made film and a great script provide an insight into the lives of so many of us, maybe all of us.

As Otis Blake says in the film 'the harder the life, the sweeter the song'. It is about The lost Highway Hank Williams identified in the early fifties. The way I have come to know this highway is: We all go off on that highway searching for something we want.

We struggle for our dream and are confronted by something, the reality, not turning out how we wanted it to be, so we get onto the highway and try to find our way back home..
