Like a Country Song

Like a Country Song is not only entertaining, but has a lot of moral values. It can teach people a lot about morality specifically about forgiveness and redemption. These qualities are important no matter how old someone is and what one's profession is. I saw the movie trailer and the film came out in Austin Texas, so I went with some of my friends to the local theater since I liked country music my whole life. You can be a famous or soon-to-be famous country singer like Jake Reeson in the movie. Yet this person might still be lonely, or have a life full of addiction or personal problems that might get in the way of one's future successes. This is true for almost any famous or talented individual.

I have to say the only downside to the movie Like a Country Song is that I never personally liked country music much. However I live in Nashville, and one of my friends persuaded me to go see the film and I thought I wouldn't like it much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is extremely motivational, not to mention truly inspiring. It shows how a person's past can get in the way of one's future. In the film Like a Country Song the main character Jake Reeson is a talented up and coming country singer, but the only thing getting in the way of his success is his past. He has to deal with the trouble he is having of forgiving his father for abandoning him at a young age. The only thing I disliked was I wanted the film to emphasize the how it's not easy to forgive some people. Specifically someone who hasn't been there for me as a parent my whole life.

I was almost tempted not to watch this movie at first because I'm not a Billy Ray Cyrus fan but he did a brilliant job. I'm from Nashville Tennessee by the way and my girlfriend sort of dragged me to see the film, and it first I was hesitant but in the end I decided to go. I really enjoyed the title song he sings in the movie. The song is special to the film and seems to reflect the pain his character went through in the movie. The pain came from his inability to get over the past, and he sings about how his life was falling apart. But then the special moment comes when he finds the nerve to keep singing that same song until he discovers that his life might be coming back together pretty soon. It goes to show that music can help heal the wounds of someone's past mistakes and sometimes one song can make all the difference in the world.

The movie Like a Country Song, has it's upsides as well as its downsides. One of the downsides is that not everybody likes country music, unlike myself cause I'm from Nashville; the city in which part of the story takes place. The upsides are that the plot is very well connected. Something else I likes was that it presented the characters individually at first and showed how they view the world from their own perspectives. However I wished the story would place more emphasis on the character's musical career. What I enjoyed though is that the movie allowed every character to develop in his or her own way. The story progressed swiftly enough without giving away too much of the plot, and it will keep you watching the movie until the very end
