Influential Films



Crazy heart is an american musical-drama film which is based on the life of a down and out conrty western singer (otis Blake) who tries to turn his life around when he meets a beautiful young journalist (Jean Craddock).
Blake is the main persona in the film as he is the main character on the poster.his distort apperance shows how his life may have panned out not quite planned, with his rugged look on the poster, as he looks scruffy and disorderly. Yet, once Blake meets this beautiful brunette, he decides to change his washed up appearance, and he is pushed to team up with a succesful and professional relationship with Tommy Sweet, a top country star. This may also be shown on the poster as he has a slight grin on his face, proving how he has turned a corner. With his once disgraced self, this could be emphasised by the tagline "The harder the life, The sweeter the song". Which may also show how Otis 'bad' Blake has changed is genral appearance and attitude in life.

  1. That's fine, Jamie, although you need to proof-read your comments before you post them (there are a number of spelling mistakes and missing capital letters here). What about the non-representational features of the poster? For example: layout and institutional information.

  2. Good analysis of the poster Crazy Heart, perhaps you should talk about which features you will take when making your poster. I like the use of the detail and shadows from the rugged look from the man as well as the title, perhaps you should think about using these features for your film poster.
