CROSSROADS

It's a wonderful movie.. and I like it!!!

This movie is about Music!
Bluesmen!!
The movie start with a black guy walking across the crossroads from no where.
You can see the same action in the movie "O'Brother", too.
This man heard from Robert Johnson that he can be a good harmonica player.
So he went to the crossroads to do business with the DEVIL!!!!
I don't think he knew he was doing business with the devil...
Well, from that day, he is a great harmonica player and he played with Robert since then.

Willie, the guy who sold his soul to the devil get old and we spent his time in the hospital.
Jail hospital because he shot a guy in the old time.

Here, this movie involves with One Old Guy (Willie Brown), One Young Kid (Classical guitar player, who wants to be a bluesmen), and One Young Girl (Who are running away to L.A. for better life)

These 3 will be together being Hobos (which means Hitchhike) and travel to Yazzo City, Mississippi.

This young kid, who are very good at playing guitar, wants to be a famous blues player.
He read many books about blues, about Robert Johnson, about Willie Brown, and so on.
He knew almost all the story about their lives.
But 1 thing he do not know is about the real Bluesmen style of living.

The young lighting kid went to find Willie Brown because he read that he is the last one living Bluesmen who played with Robert Johnson.
He went to Willie because he wanted to get the 30th song of Robert Johnson.!!

Eventually, there were no 30th song!!
But Willie didn't told the young kid and used him from getting out the hospital!!!!
Sounds very bad guy....
But he had his own reason.
Willie had to go to the Yazoo City of Mississippi to meet the devil and end the contract..
He was too old to make a journey by himself, so he needed the young kid to bring him there.

These 2 start travel with a little amount of cash, which is normal to Willie but not to the kid.
What they do is they went for HOBO!! (which means hitchhike) Riding for free!!!
They met a young cute girl and moving together since.
Here, love story is mixed!
Young boy and girl somehow fail in love.
How nice........

So from 2 became 3!
They had to make some money by playing music.

When they got to the crossroads, Willie let the young kids to play so that the Devil will come.
Willie talked with him to end the contract and they agreed if the young kid can win the Rock n Roll player the devil will tear the contract.

The kid was loosing but at the end he played classic, which the guy couldn't catch him and he won!!!!!

So the old Willie got his soul back!!!

What a movie!

I liked the part when the young kid played the classic at the match!!
really nice......
