As Grayson Cappsin, who composed the original score for the movie, said in an interview, his story was true. One of the best blues movies ever made, it captures the essence of the city and its people.

Seeing John Travolta with his white hair may bring a tear to our eyes, but the stories he tells with his beautiful voice through song captivate the audience. Oh my goodness, there's no script, yet the acting, music-space relationship, characters, and everything else have been selected and performed perfectly. It's incredible that he was able to create a strong connection with the audience and have such a profound impact, especially considering his main characters don't evoke sympathy. Shainee Gabel deserves a standing ovation for her directorial debut...

There is the following quote inscribed on the famous stone, which he concluded in the last verse:

"And if I were to have an epitaph for my story,
I'd have a short one ready for myself.
I would have written on my stone:
I had a lover's quarrel with the world."
Robert Frost

It's a movie that never gets dull, even though it's two hours long - in fact, you never want it to end! Unfortunately, it can't be shown on our national channels, and there's hardly a single moment without cigarettes.

One of those movies that gives the impression of living in it can be quite annoying at times, but we can learn from everything. What we learned from this movie was Gabriel Macht's very calm and well-played performance.
