Some of you wanted to know my opinion of the movie Nebraska. I thought it was really well done, deserving of its mostly high ratings in reviews. My personal reaction can be summed up in one word--HEARTBREAKING. Bruce Dern plays Woody Grant of Billings, Montana, who has been notified of authorization to collect a prize of one million dollars (if....). He is determined to go to Lincoln, Nebraska, to collect his money. He doesn't trust the mail. He will walk if he has to. After his younger son fails to convince him the letter is only a come-on for selling magazines, he agrees to drive his father to Nebraska. The movie was heartbreaking to me first of all because as far as looks and also certain aspects of the curmudgeonly personality, I was watching Mike on the big screen. Sweet and bitter torture. Heartbreaking. When the trailer first came out, Mike's daughter texted me to google it. Leave it to Dad to come back as Bruce Dern....
