Viewing Notes
Really the only movie I haven’t seen that would work for this double feature I’m gonna attempt to pull off…
Damn this movie is really good. Actually shocked at how much it affected me. Here I thought it was a “oh I like Bruce Springsteen and his music so I wanna see The Boss” flick when it’s really about how a young writer is inspired in the unlikeliest of ways and also fights the xenophobia in his town while dealing w/family issues (doing want he wants versus what is expected). good stuff.
Another neat thing is all the Springsteen music taking me back to a precise place in time of my own life which I didn’t anticipate. Sincerely made me nostalgic and had me tearing up on a few occasions (in addition to the pure joy of certain sequences). Glad I chose to see this!
