Advantages: Willie's sweet voice and stinging guitar Disadvantages: It's not twice as long
The music: clean, uncluttered introspective. The songs: conveying the stark, sere, loneness of the singer. It's been called "blue collar blues" and I'd call it that, too, more than I'd call it country music. Only three of the songs are new, written in the 1990s, the rest are refashioned from the 1960s, and the 30 years in between scarcely matter. The songs were chosen and pieced together to tell the story of obssessive love or convey the concept of domestic abuse, whichever way you want to see it. And they do succeed in working together.

It's WillieNelson.
The song selection is great with fantastic readings of 'Georgia on My Mind ...
Advantages: Fantastic performance.Beautifully made.has a charm of its own Disadvantages: None
of both. Ryan Gosling is the soul of the film,playing a school teacher who is a free thinker. His character is complex and independent. Its a pleasure to see such a character on screen who is so different from the cliche teachers, a character who has lots of dreams. Yet he knows his limitations as a single person who won't be able to change the world by himself. His concern for the student adds a lot to his character, showing us how he feels for others and how he wishes to do good.
I loved the whole feel of the film, the way it has been made. The camera work is fabulous and gives you the impression that you are watching it first hand because the camera keeps moving very slightly rather than staying static at closeups. Gosling's priceless expressions are captured effectively and his silence seems more precious than words.It is philosophical in ...
