After reading these insightful posts, i was intrigued to take my own Crazy Heart roadtour...bought the soundtrack to Crazy Heart...listened as I drove from So. Cal to New Mexico. I went to a few of the places where it was filmed. Awesome experience.
Crazy Heart is a 2009 American drama film, written and directed by Scott Cooper and based on the 1987 novel[2] of the same name by Thomas Cobb. The film centers around a down-and-out country music singer-songwriter (Bridges) who tries to turn his life around after beginning a relationship with a young journalist (Gyllenhaal). Other supporting roles are played by Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, and child actor Jack Nation. Bridges, Farrell, and Duvall also sing in the film.
The novel on which the film was based was inspired by country singer Hank Thompson.[3] Bridges earned the 2009 Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film.
Filming took place during 2008 in New Mexico (Albuquerque, Española, Galisteo, Santa Fe), in Houston, Texas, and in Los Angeles, California. Original music for the film was composed by T Bone Burnett, Stephen Bruton, Ryan Bingham and others. Bingham and Burnett received the 2009 Academy Award for Best Original Song for co-writing "The Weary Kind", which Bingham also performed.
After taking a guided tour at the Valles Calders (near Jemenz) we learned that the film The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones was film there.
Good flick. $4 on Amazon...
