Like a Country Song

I was really just shocked by the role that music plays in the movie Like a Country Song. Despite the fact that I normally don't listen to music by Billy Ray Cyrus, I really loved listening to him due to this film. I'm from Wisconsin but part of the film takes place in Nashville where I once lived so I thought it might be a good idea to go and watch it. I can relate to the movie as I once pursued an artistic career myself. I was persuaded to keep watching because he not only put on a great performance but he did something more than that. He actually showed the truth that musicians and artists have other struggles, and these things can take a toll on us.  It goes to show that it's easy to criticize someone not knowing their situation. However the character Bo Reeson eventually goes through his own transition and reconciles with his family.

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.

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.

Like a Country Song is a great film in the sense that it shows the life of a famous musician from many angles and perspectives. What I mean is that it shows both the good and the bad. Jake Reeson the main character in this story has the good life, the fact that he is rising to fame. However the worse parts of his life involve his problems in his own relationships, and addictions. I went to the theater because I wanted to watch a good drama and I heard that the film Like a Country Song recently came out in Appleton Wisconsin. I love how the film shows that there are always two sides of the story; like the side of Jake Reeson the up and coming country singer, and Bo Reeson the father who wasn't there for him. The only thing I wish that the movie did better is make the standoff scene between Jake and his dad Bo Reeson more dramatic.

The movie Like a Country Song is a film that shows the miraculous power of forgiveness that every person will most likely encounter sooner or later in their life. I'm from Texas originally but I don't like country music too much, but after having seen this film I sort of changed my mind. In the movie Like a Country Song Jake Reeson is an up and coming country singer who is quite destined for fame. Despite his natural talent for music and song he struggles to achieve his goals due to addiction, drinking, and partying. It's up to him to get over with the demons of his past in order to move on with his life. This means being able to reconcile with his father who left him at a young age. The film has a good solid plot, with all the pieces of the storyline very well connected together. The only drawback is that the film focuses so much on Jake Reeson's personal life, but it has a lot of good music scenes which is what I like.
