It’s a carefully crafted, almost reverential character study of man and music Hawke clearly and greatly admires.

Movies about reckless, chemically addled men rarely have the nerve to go whole hog with the bad behavior, because it makes for alienating company. Still: Blaze comes closer than most to an honest look at this sort of troubadour and this kind of life.
It’s the kind of movie that, if you give yourself to it, you’ll love.
Blaze feels like a true passion project, an engine running on Hawke’s endless supply of enthusiasm for his subject.
Along with Dickey’s equally feral and vulnerable performance, what stands out most in Blaze is just how fully formed and realized Hawke’s vision is as a filmmaker.
The usual sequence of ballad-of-a-tormented-artist verses plays out: early promise; success and betrayal; redemption and death. What pulls against the relentless momentum of biography is the sweet inertia of life, a lot of which is spent drunk, in bed, on the road, hanging out with friends or all of the above.
Blaze isn’t a flashy movie, which seems about right since Hawke’s closest mentors and collaborators (Richard Linklater, for example) aren’t known for their look-at-me personalities. Like the real-life Foley, they’re storytellers and yarn spinners first and foremost, fame and fortune be damned.
Foley's cult may never grow as big as his most ardent fans would like. But Hawke and Rosen and Dickey have given the man something better than posthumous record sales.
Blaze, which leaps around in time, telling Blaze Foley’s story by zeroing in on a handful of disparate moments, is beautifully made. It’s an organic slice of life — raw and untidy, deceptively aimless but always exploratory.
Dickey pivots between storyteller, philosopher, hopeless romantic, philanderer, asshole, loyal friend, and belligerent drunk all the way up until the very end.
他不想成为歌星,他想成为传奇……歌好听,可惜影片拍得一般般,提不起神。
难听又难看。音乐电影里的败类
慢慢看下来 听听歌也是不错的 整个故事以现实评述+回忆的方式讲出 似乎还有点浪漫?比如两个人爱种花 并以这种方式纪念彼此 比如他将各种情感写成歌 献给自己的缪斯女神 他的朋友说: 除了他有自由灵魂的一面 更有真诚善良的一面 这也是他去世的原因 为了帮助自己的朋友而中弹 大概喜欢唱着乡村歌曲的人都有最真性情
对路人不友好的粉丝向电影。拍得实在是太无聊了,即便有好听的歌也拯救不了。
我能懂。所以特别心疼。伊桑霍克拍得细腻动人。轻重节奏出来特别舒服。尽管普通又传奇,但他仍然还是他。力荐。
55/100 伊桑霍克成功把Blaze Foley的故事变成了NBCS。
说是伊桑-霍克就想要这种感觉,那也没办法,但实在太拖沓了,讲故事能力太差,音乐也不太走心。倒是乡村感十足,场面很自然,有些像不经心的家庭录像。
传记电影这样拍只能卖给粉丝看看吧
这很吟游诗人
通往天堂的路本身也是天堂。ps.伊桑霍克当导演,话痨本色丝毫未减啊。
我们是怎么忘记如何去爱的,也许我们老了就会吧…宝贝,即使如此,我们也不说再会,而是回见,这样,这条瘸腿的老狗,还能支撑着走下去
伊桑的剧本有点儿拖,焦虑感和不如意倒是拍得很到位。[C+]
无论当演员还是做导演,伊桑·霍克还真是格外钟意这类片啊。
嗯 话好多
画面跟被厚厚的蜂蜜涂过一样。OST真的很舒服,舒服到让人睡着也不会有罪恶感。但是整体太拖了太拖了,到最后给人一种等着拖堂老师下课的焦虑感。P.S.洛克威尔演的角色全程戴着墨镜直到骂人时才认出来。#里斯本辛特拉电影节
EthanHawke导演还是不错的,尤其tan色摄影加滤镜,配合solo很搭配,只是故事节奏太慢了,电影再短一个小时正好…
在悉尼underground film festival看的。中间blaze在小小的公寓弹琴唱歌给女主那一段我真的眼泪憋不住,只好拼命想:难得化个妆千万不能花!比inside llewyn davis要和我胃口,歌单也是不能更好听!虽然有一些些镜头用的不够自然有点刻意,但是剧本真的是写得好。光听台词都觉得好。而且表演也好,Arrested Development里的小姑娘居然都这么大了,演的特别有样子。Ben Dickey大概因为不算演员,连豆瓣条目都没有收录。。。人家可是男主角。而且还有个彩蛋,有我男神sam rockwell的客串。真的太棒了!!!
Ethan Hawke自编自导,取材于Blaze Foley生平故事的音乐传记片。整部电影的调子十分悠闲缓慢,甚至中间差点在随心随性的乡村音乐里慢慢睡去;最爱他与Sybil的相遇发生在一个全是艺术家居住的乡间集中营,两人在这里静静拥抱,从相识到相知,并决心一起到外面的世界追梦。之后的酗酒、调戏女人到死亡,这一生或许短暂却跌跌撞撞;作为新人的男主演Ben Dickey表演太自然出色了。
看完SXSW首映,没想到一个电影可以让我哭的完全控制不住,尤其前半段。音乐治愈,超越inside llewyn davis,各自追寻艺术的爱情故事超越la la land一亿倍,主创原型人物小说作者音乐人全都在场,回答了很多好问题。之后还让主演拉上剧中人来了一场音乐会,美妙极了。
圣丹斯看的第一部电影。音乐很好听,镜头也不错,但是剧情太拖沓了,想了解folk musician的挣扎还不如去看《Inside Llewyn Davis》。
