Time for the genre hollywood & awards season are obsessed with. Music Biopics & this time its The Bosses turn. Yep even Bruce is like its time for one. So lets see how good this is & am i going to come out of this screaming his songs on the drive home.

My Monday night 7:45 showing was half full, which is pretty good, but i did feel like i was the youngest person in the room. I dont say that too often anymore but yea it was all people my parents age mainly. Mid 60s.

Trailers, Christie (maybe depends on the day), Now You see me, the running man, Marty Supreme & Bugonia. The other 4 are on my list for the year so they are all certain yes’.

& then the film started… Oooh it was a vibe.

As a brit we all know Stephen Graham is rather gifted at a certain roll, we are all well aware he is type cast, but no one does grumpy middle-aged dad with some sort of issue better than him. Id love to see him get an oscar nomination but i dont think he will. Although hollywood is a little obsessed with him at the moment after a few film & tv shows hes been in. IT was the bit when he said he was proud that broke me & actually made me cry.

Both Jeremey’s were good. His portrayal of Bruce on stage was spot on, including how he held that guitar & the way his head nodded. Hes the most likely to get oscar nominated too.
I likes Pauls performance too, completely understated, but grounded & honest. He never get enough love bless him.

I love how you went through the process of writing an album & the music with him, it just worked & it felt good & you felt like you were in those rooms with him feeling each lyric. Nebraska came to life in lots of way.

So this film is set for a large part over christmas, but at no point does he play santa clause is coming to town. Not once. I know thats a really tiny thing to be picky about but not even the bells… come on movie.

For once using black & white in a film randomly made sense ( Oppenheimer being the exception as always). But the trauma in the black & white from his past that kind of glitched into the now to show how it was effecting him was really good. Also i do like how this wasnt just a long biopic about the music. It was about him, for a set period of time & how he became the man he was & how the music evolved. & it also talked about mens mental health which back in the 80s wasnt a thing at all & the pressure of wanting to achieve glory, even if it means chucking everything away.

It used Bruces songs as apart of the score at points very cleverly. Obviously there are some of the songs in the film played at the right time cleverly & you sit there & go yea thats a good use of it, but it focused more on the story that having to get all the songs in the movie.

What is it with people wanting to be at fairgrounds at the moment in films, we seem to be getting a lot of them. Maybe im just watching too many 80s pieces.

I need to ask my aunty, uncle & god father if they have seen this, my parents unfortunatly havent. I have a decent amount of bruce knowledge & enjoyed it on lots of levels but i think i need a super fans opinion on it. This will be about for awards season, but how far will it take them i have no idea,
