Anyways, I might have a crazy heart myself, I guess. But what does that mean? I know I haven't exercised in a while, so yeah my heart is probably a little crazy these days.
I first watched this movie many years ago when it first came out on DVD. It begins with Jeff Bridges' character in a bowling alley. It reminded me of "The Big Lebowski", the bowling movie. I guess I kinda couldn't get over that so I couldn't really get into the movie at the time.
I watched it again today and actually enjoyed it. At first, I really enjoyed the rapport between Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal's characters. I liked their exchanges and liked how their relationship developed. I wasn't too crazy about it though when it turned romantic. He was just so much older than her. I also hoped to watch something that didn't have to be about sex. I kinda wanted them to be more of a platonic parent and child relationship. Maybe they should have made her character a little older and closer to his age. But at the same time I can see how she could actually fall for him despite the age difference.
Her character had a child, and his character grew fond of him. You can kind of see it coming that something would get messed up at some point. And it did, and that was the last he saw of him. It's sad, but it happened and she did what was best for her child.
I really enjoyed the music. I should buy the soundtrack. Okay, maybe I will do it. Early Christmas present for me. You should do it, too. Early Christmas present for you. Unless you're reading this at a later time than when I am writing it.
I think I will reason to the soundtrack while I write the sequel, "Crazy Heart 2: My Crazy Heart Will Go On". It's gonna have a big giant ship. And it can't slow down or your heart will explode. When you see it, you will say, "That's crazy! How is that even possible?!" And then when it becomes a huge hit, I will finally be a crazy rich Asian.
