Did you see this movie? Know of any other's like it?
"Sweet and Low down" was pretty close, but unfortunately woody allen had something to do with it so it ended up sucking overall.
Crossroads is a movie that for me hits on many levels.
There was good music throughout. Lots of good blues riffs, some cool classical moments...
An interesting story that is ultimately a metaphor for how you have to sort of "give up everything" to realize your potential as a musician... but the life thereafter seldom lives up to the expectations placed upon it...
-the reaching of that moment of dissillusioned despair that the musician you respected most is just another "user/pawn"
... it paints that picture well.
