The film looks beautiful and is more about Guthrie's music and its roots (almost a pre-cursor to Haynes' Bob Dylan bio-pic). I've quite enjoyed this book.

The use of language and some of the hobo slang picked up may have been one of my favorite aspects. His stories made me think, what would I have done in the same situation. Overall he commented, "Bound for Glory was perhaps TNA's best offering of 2010". Lovely to see Carradine as a young guy, having seen him in Kill Bill I/II. He liked recognition from time to time, and to be able to get his voice out to as many people as he could. [46] In the early comments of his review, Sokol stated that he felt "TNA made it clear that their flagship event is their annual Bound For Glory extravaganza. [63], Greg Parks reported on the first half of the show[64] and James Caldwell reported the second half. The biggest revelation, however, was David Carradine, who gives an amazing performance as Woody Guthrie. It also is the first time that I actually felt rather underwhelmed and let down by Hal Ashby. The film stars David Carradine as folk singer Woody Guthrie, with Ronny Cox, Melinda Dillon, Gail Strickland, John Lehne, Ji-Tu Cumbuka and Randy Quaid. The main symbol associated with the band is a Thor's Hammer containing the band's initials. After issuing a press release a month prior, TNA's programming home Spike aired Countdown to Bound for Glory, a 1-hour special preview an hour before the PPV. To appreciate what we now have one must sit through the "boring" parts to see how badly people lived during this time in the USA. With great pleasure I realized my local library had a copy. One of the best scenes is when a rich family picks up Woody. Guthrie's romantic life plays out like a series of rerun episodes (which each of his women seen smiling from the bedroom), yet there's a great deal of beauty in Ashby's presentation and several witty passages in Getchell's script. The "story" was episodic and meandering. The top two highest rated bouts were given to Van Dam-Lynn that got 3 and 3/4 out of 5 stars and the Angle-Roode main event got 3 and a 1/2 out of 5 stars. Phil Allely, a pro wrestling section writer for The Sun commented about the main event saying, "The finish was a shock for many reasons as, after the many near falls, moonsaults, finishing moves and obligatory ref bump, the title went to the unpredictable Hardy" and added, "The fans were obviously stunned as Hardy went on to deck his "friend" RVD and join Hogan, Bischoff, Abyss and Jarrett, subsequently revealing them to be the mysterious "They" as the PPV went off the air". The second theme song is "Big Shot" by Islander. How can people really write like THIS when I can barely scratch out a little review here? Parts of this book are brilliant, but there are a lot of gaps. Carradine's performance in "Bound for Glory" reminds me of two other, more recent performances in similar films: Ashley Judd in Victor Nunez's "Ruby in Paradise" and Peter Fonda in the role that gave him an Oscar nomination, "Ulee's Gold", also by Nunez. The family dynamic with which he grows up is explored in almost an accidental way in his telling of the story. I know that Woody is one reason I try to speak up for the downtrodden and voiceless. Zone at that time. [41] Also mentioned during the press release was the confirmation of another Total Nonstop InterAction event slated for the weekend of the event. Menu. Woody Guthrie (David Carradine) is struggling in the dusty small town of Pampa, Texas with his wife Mary (Melinda Dillon). As a fan of Guthrie's music and someone who has always been oddly drawn to the stories of depression era America (it's so surreal!) For years, Ive been a Bob Dylan fan and fascinated by Dylans biggest inspiration, Woody Guthrie. The quintessential American singer-songwriter tells of poverty, destitution, desperation and the wickedness of the moneyed classes towards those homeless and jobless. Order the Bound For Glory replay on pay-per-view: FITE IMPACT Wrestling is Bound For Glory! Could I have suffered so much and still been able to see the country in all its beauty or would I become hard and mean. I had the impression I was peeking in on real people and events, not on movie actors playing out a script. [2] The event would return to the Impact Zone for the 2016 edition. It was announced on July 13, 2011 that the location for this year's annual Bound for Glory would be revealed the following day on ESPN.com on Page 2. The 2018 edition took place on October 14, 2018 at the Melrose Ballroom in Astoria, Queens, New York. It takes patience to get through, but there are some good things in the end. Gail Kim inducts Awesome Kong into the IMPACT Hall of Fame Bishop felt that the company delivered its best show in recent memory that was marred by a "horrendous finish in the main event", but went on to call the action, "outstanding". [6] The event was released on DVD on January 30, 2007 by TNA Home Video. The late, great Hal Ashby does a sterling job directing this lengthy (it's two and a half hours long), ambitious, prodigiously expansive, but never dull or meandering film: the meticulously telling recreation of the downcast, financially and emotionally troubled, spirit-wrenching Dust Bowl era never strikes a single false note, there are many acutely observed, often wryly humorous vignettes (Guthrie's encounter with a likable, allegedly "insane" overweight man is a small gem), the pacing slogs along at an ingratiatingly insouciant, leisurely clip that's completely in sync with that decade's intrinsic dreariness, the hard times of the 30's are neither cloyingly sentimentalized nor grossly simplified, and the movie overall successfully creates and maintains a delicate, heart-melting poignancy that's made all the more affecting because it stems naturally from the characters and the grueling ordeals they courageously face throughout the film. [8], The Academy Award-winning score was released internationally in 1976 by United Artists Records, in an album containing Leonard Roseman's music and Woody Guthrie's songs with David Carradine in the vocals. The song was released in August 1990 as the lead single from Anderson's studio album Blood from Stone. "And he had a to hell with you attitude. [4] Director of photography Haskell Wexler won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography at the 49th Academy Awards. [36] All three of TNA's active championships at the time were defended at the event. Bound for Glory brings the Dust Bowl era to authentic life thanks to Haskell Wexler's opulent cinematography and Woody Guthrie's resonant music, capturing the American mood at the time as much as it does the folk singer's life. This is probably one of the most inspiring books by a musician I've ever read. He didn't sell out. Scenes showing locomotives utilized three steam locomotives owned by the Sierra Railroad, and were filmed in and around Oakdale, California, and the roundhouse scenes were filmed at what is now Railtown 1897 in Jamestown, California.

The film stars David Carradine as folk singer Woody Guthrie, with Ronny Cox, Melinda Dillon, Gail Strickland, John Lehne, Ji-Tu Cumbuka and Randy Quaid. It definitely captures the essence of the era, so maybe the TV feelings come from the execution. [23] Kapur commented on the overall event stating that it "was one of the best PPVs in recent memory, and has to be a strong contender for Card of the Year honours. David Carradine did a great job of acting and this is a very outstanding picture to view more than once. "[33] Caldwell also felt that the NWA World Tag Team Championship match was "just a notch below Sabin-Senshi for match of the night so far. [34], Bound for Glory 2006 met with generally positive reviews. But at the same time Hal Ashby isn't out to make an entirely explicit 'message' heavy movie, even if there is, of course, messages to be taken to heart. But this book is about much more than about the troubles of America in his early life.

There's not much music in here until the end, but his story itself reads as this jaw-dropping rambling epic earthy American folk ballad. This made just doing the movie an act of extreme courage on the part of everybody involved. He is writing in the style of Steinbeck, Sarayon, Twain and others and makes similar social commentaries by revealing to an equal degree that the characters could be blammed and fate can play a role. There was clear and strong movement in the plot. The early life of Woody Guthrie as a vagabond folk singer. This is a very well meaning film, and some of it is done quite well, but overall, this is far more flawed than I was expecting. "Bound For Glory" is a very involving and interesting movie in a hypnotic, slow-moving seventies kind of way. [46] A Fight for the Right Reverse Battle Royal, which was also included on the card, and the Gauntlet match to crown the first TNA Women's World Champion were the lowest rated matches at 5 out of 10.
