Like a Country Song

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 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.

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 enjoyed watching this film for many reasons. First of all the actors were great, and very believable. Another thing I liked about the movie Like a Country Song is that it not only represented the concept of the up and coming country star, but it placed emphasis on their lifestyle. The idea that nobody in life is flawless or perfect, and the importance of redemption and forgiveness. This is very true for many artists that come from the famous city of Nashville where I live and have witnessed some of these great performances myself. However what I must point out is that despite the excellent quality of the film I just wish there would be a couple more extra scenes showing how Jake Reeson becomes a famous star. Apart from that the life lessons were really good, and I like how the film shows that the most talented people in the world are capable of making the simplest mistakes in life

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.
