In light of these facts, we'd like to take a few moments of your time each week to talk about a movie we've seen that we think you should see.
This week is:
Coal Miner's Daughter
First off, this movie does a GREAT job telling the story about Loretta Lynn and her journey becoming a nationally known country music singer/songwriter.
Looking back at the past couple of years with movies like "Ray" and "Walk the Line" it is obvious that a well told story will motivate the public to gain more interest in the elements of that story, and like those movies, we finished "Coal Miner's Daughter" wanting to know more about her life and listen to more of her music.
Sissy Spacek did an awesome job portraying Loretta Lynn. Honestly, I haven't seen anything with her that I haven't thought she was great, but this movie stuck out to me as one of her stronger ones...and she even did her own singing in the movie. Tommy Lee Jones plays her husband, and he also does an excellent job. With only a few slow spots in the movie, this story will grab you and keep you interested throughout the duration of the story. This movie has an honest simplicity about it that seems to be reflective of Loretta Lynn's life and music. If you have any interest in the history of American popular music, or if you like country music, or if you like good acting, or for that matter, if you just like to watch a good story, I would definitely say that you should see this movie.
