I've read here and there that the reason this film never caught on with country music fans is that it's politics are out of sync with rural conservatives. I don't buy it, not only because it's not just rural conservatives that like country music, but because the greatest country musicians of that time period (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, etc.) were anti-establishment. I think it's more likely that they just can't stand a movie called NASHVILLE, a three-hour rambling drama about country music, having not one good song in it.<br /><br />Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention how much GOSFORD PARK is related to THE RULES OF THE GAME, considering how much you love that film.LeeWSabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716083621221970152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847180002940925273.post-89377525307748725582014-07-30T12:12:21.595-04:002014-07-30T12:12:21.595-04:00Thanks for this great take on Nashville.
