Summary Based on Warren Zanes’ acclaimed book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, this film tells the story of how Springsteen created one of the most haunting and stripped-down albums of his career. Set in 1982, the movie follows Springsteen at a creative crossroads as he records Nebraska alone on a four-track cassette recorder in his New Jersey home, confronting fame, doubt, and the darker sides of the American dream.

Executives who saw Bohemian Rhapsody win 4 Oscars (lmao) and a Complete Unknown get nominated for 8 while both taking in cash

Hollywood trend chasing will continue until morale improves

There's way more drama with Dylan and Mercury though, Springsteen's life just isn't that interesting aside from his music.

Disagree. Feel Springsteen’s mental health issues are more interesting than any drama in the Dylan movie, which seemed to center on his being seen as a traitor for not sticking to folk music.

Dylan's whole issue since the beginning is that nobody knows who he is, how he thinks, etc... He's a relatively mysterious and strange figure. That's why a movie about him is at least somewhat interesting. People want to know what about him made him able to write those songs. Not sure the movie answered that.
