Movie Reviews of Bound for Glory
Movie Review: BOUND FOR THE TRASH BIN
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had to rate this dire film with one star as there is no option given here for zero or minus ratings...Having just played Woody Guthrie myself, I must advise any interested parties that you will learn next to nothing about his life or music from this pathetic attempt at a 'bio-pic'. Hal Ashby's insipid and meandering direction is matched only by Robert Getchell's uninspired, dull script. One wonders how this film ever came to be released. David Carradine - who looks and sounds about as much like Woody Guthrie as Woody Woodpecker - appears to be extremely uncomfortable with his lot and task of carrying this rubbish like a cement guitar strapped to his back. Only about five years of Guthrie's life is covered in the excruciating two hours that this film drags on...I wished a dust storm would have wiped out the entire set and brought it to an early close. If the 'Hallmark' channel were desperately short for a matinee in the middle of a particularly slow week, they may be forced to show this picture. Do yourself a favour: David Carradine's father (John) appears in a classic movie that inspired much of Guthrie's music and feelings - The Grapes Of Wrath. Buy that instead and see how films were made forty years earlier with economy and talent and notably more satisfying results. Alternatively, there is a Billy Bragg doccumentary about Guthrie which is complete and informative as well as being entertaining - Bound For Glory is NONE of these things...
