A Little Too Much Depriciacion

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2014)

First of all, movies are about entertainment, these days they compete with computer games - big-time. Action captivates, enthralls, exposing people to emotions they want and enjoy, rather additive. This is a self depreciating movie, about failure, failure to connect. It is quite funny at times, and exposes the advanced emotional ability of the singer and his struggle parlayed against the drumbeat of those who have none. Most successful movies have always been about how we overcome, giving more than we have,,'overcoming the odds', no matter what. This is what makes us human, makes us unusual in the animal kingdom, makes us unusual in this universe! For all the "Cohen Brothers' have to offer this is a missed opportunity evoking only disappointment by the character. I did hope for better, especially exposing a topic that is as important as 60's "American folk music" and it's raw expressionism. More excitement did come, the 70's and it's LSD/everything influence, thanks Bob D. for introducing a new way of thinking and paving the way for others. Dg...
