The film was beautifully shot, but I personally went in order to hear the music through the large speaker; cinema didn’t have it loud enough for me. I Have found out that I prefer listening to this album rather than watching the film, the reason being I found my mind wandering around the visuals and for that reason, I couldn’t concentrate on the music. Goes to prove the old adage that men can’t do two things at the one time. I have been wondering if Bruce was maybe lacking the get up and go to deliver his faster songs in concert, but after seeing his enthusiasm during Rhinstone cowboy, my fears have been allayed. Glad I seen the film, didn’t wait for the q&a. Killie?! Good afternoon, neighbour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He didn’t mind the shirt off because he was in fact in great shape, and simply agreed to do it. Sorry, I don’t buy into the ‘vanity’ narrative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jerseyfornia Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The Mojave desert is definitely not "nothingness." It's a vast expanse teeming with life, ancient spirits, history and mystery. Heading up there in the morning and can't wait to leave this valley behind. 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-Sussudio- Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Whoever said Western Stars wouldn't be hailed as a masterpiece if it was sung by Tom Petty is a silly billy (and I don't use that term lightly). I think Western Stars' music and lyrics would have suited Petty's vocals seamlessly. It would have felt very natural. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pregnant Sally Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 How would they even know that? Oh yeah, they wouldn't.

I feel the same when Bruce is pitted with the likes of Dylan, Cohen, Waits, Wilson etc etc....like Bruce all of them are/were brilliant songwriters but all totally unique in their styles from Bruce. It all comes down to what style and type of song you personally prefer. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theseshadows Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 That last spoken word, Pilgrim...was he talking to me, I wonder? Just 2 weeks ago I finished my 2400 km of pilgrimate to Santiago de Compostella in Spain, spread out over 4 years. I know well, it's not to be taken literally! More of a metaphor, for searching, searching of sense in life, trying to something good, whatever you might call it.... Bruce as fabulous as so many times speaking to our soul, resonating universally in our spirits. Like for so a many for us, it was not easy to find a screeing. At least it wasn't as impossible like BOB...I smiled more and more today, sitting in the cinema, first time for this movie. Watching the concentrated and also joyful faces of the musicians, their art, the visual effects, the landscapes, the wonderful cut and in the same time calm flow of the movie. This is rolling again now in my inner view, as I sit in my living room, with headphones on, listening again to the film version of WS. Patty had some paparazzi pictures this summer from Italy not so much to her advantage.... but how she shined here. Bruce really wrote a visual love letter in form of this movie, too. Chasing wild horses, sundown, there goes my miracle, hello sunshine, Rhinestone Cowboy were my personal highlights, this very much just for the sentiment and emotional strenght. Oh, another personal highlight: Bruce Springsteen, seemingly betraying his age again. He's creating art in its pure form, again. What a different experience. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jertucky Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Honest question. What is this film? Is it just him playing the album in his barn? Or is there a plot with actors and all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pregnant Sally Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's a performance film, companion movie if you will. If your question is even serious, no actors and thick plot taking place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen a couple of his interviews for the movie but still did not completely get it. Then I saw people here talking about a guy sweeping and that confused me even more.

You would have thought that Bruce and Patti instead of yacking away at each sitting at the bar might have offered to help the guy ! He seemed to be taking forever to sweep up whatever it was that he was sweeping up ! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
