A Love Song For Bobby Long

John Travolta, Scarlett Johanson och Gabriel Macht som jag tyckte var sjukt het. Vilket iofs är konstigt då han egentligen inte är det minsta min typ. För hårig och alldeles för blond, men han har den där lilla speciella glimten i ögat.

Filmen var skrämande att folk verkligen lever så, men den var riktigt bra. Ingen film som man direkt i början vet hur den kommer sluta och handlingen är också annorlunda än "alla andra Hollywood filmer".
The story focuses on 18-year-old Purslane Hominy Will, who leaves the Florida trailer park to return to her hometown of New Orleans following the drug overdose death of her jazz singer mother Lorraine, a free spirit she had not seen for several years. The girl is startled to discover one-time Auburn University professor of literature Bobby Long and his protégé, struggling writer Lawson Pines, living in her dilapidated childhood home. Both men are heavy drinkers who spend their days smoking numerous cigarettes, quoting Dylan Thomas, Benjamin Franklin, and T.S. Eliot and spending time with the neighbors while Bobby strums a guitar and sings melancholy country-folk songs. 

The two convince Pursy her mother left the house to all three of them, although in reality she is the sole heir and the time they legally are allowed to remain in it is limited by the terms of the will. Pursy moves in and proves to be the most responsible and sensible member of the dysfunctional family the three create. Memories of Lorraine linger for all of them, especially Pursy, who vividly recalls her mother ignoring her in favor of pursuing a career. Her sense of who her mother was is altered somewhat when she finds a cache of letters Lorraine wrote her but never mailed, letters that lead her to discover not only how her mother really felt about her, but the true identity of her father as well.
