	Salon.com ent \| A movie called "Nashville"
		"Nashville" was debated in the mainstream press in a way that seems inconceivable now: The New York Times ran at least eight pieces about the movie, and editorial writers and critics weighed in with opinions and interpretations for months after the film opened.
		He was a hip impresario, moving from detective movie to western to gangster movie, tweaking and twisting them, demanding more of these genres than they were used to providing.
		He brought to the movies a no-big-deal elegance; a taste for risk, humor and the unhinged; a hatred of rigidity and the overbearing; and an intransigent take-it-or-leave-it spirit.

	Nashville (1975 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nashville is a 1975 film which mixes themes of U.S. presidential politics with those of the country music and gospel music businesses in Nashville, Tennessee.
		The movie was widely despised by the mainstream country-music community at the time, believing it was ridiculing their talent and sincerity.
		In 2002, a CD "Tribute to Robert Altman's Nashville" was released, featuring new interpretations of the movie's songs by the likes of such respected country figures as Carolyn Mark, Kelly Hogan, and Neko Case.

	Nashville: Special Edition (1975)
		Robert Altman's Nashville is an explosive drama and a human comedy that delineates and interweaves the lives of 24 major characters during five days in the country music capital of the world.
		As is usually the case with older movies, the dialogue fares the worst; it often seems thin and flat, though it largely sounds intelligible.
		I enjoyed the movie to a mild degree, but it seemed too consumed with juggling 24 characters; not enough thought was given to creating a coherent, polished piece of work.

		Robert Altman's "Nashville," which was the best American movie since "Bonnie and Clyde," creates in the relationships of nearly two dozen characters a microcosm of who we were and what we were up to in the 1970s.
		Tennessee is in the midst of a presidential primary, and all over Nashville, there are the posters and sound trucks of a quasi-populist candidate, Hal Philip Walker, who seems like a cross between George Wallace and George McGovern.
		Part of the movie's method is to establish characters in one context and then place them in another, so that we can see how personality -- indeed, basic identity itself -- is constant but must sometimes be concealed for the sake of survival or even simple happiness.

	Hank Snow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He headed to the "Country Music Capital of the World", Nashville, Tennessee, and Hank Snow, the "Singing Ranger" (a nickname modified from the Yodelling Ranger when his high voice changed to the baritone that graced his hit records) would be invited to play at the Grand Ole Opry in 1950.
		Despite his lack of schooling, he was a gifted songwriter and in 1978 was elected to Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
		Snow died in Madison, Tennessee in the United States and was interred in the Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville.

		At any rate, the movie, although widely admired, was not a great financial success, nor, indeed, could it have been, considering its probing of the dark side of the American psyche in a film ostensibly celebrating America's two hundredth anniversary.
		Nashville came and went from the theaters, Saigon fell and the Vietnam war retreated into history, Nashville came and went on videotape and was forgotten, Altman continued to make films, some great, some good and some indifferent, all distinctive.
		Nashville was shot in Panavision, an anamorphic process with a 2:25 to 1:00 aspect ratio.

	Nashville Review
		Nashville is a picture with so much going for it, the very energy and life seems to break out and spill over the aperture borders and into your heart and mind.
		Nashville added a new, fresh, and soon to be oft-repeated style of filmmaking to the cinema vernacular that would forever be associated with his name.
		Nashville is not a town with a political agenda, but more like a microcosm of Los Angeles.

	DVD REVIEW: NASHVILLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Nashville" is a place where singers and songwriters come to fulfill their dreams.
		Hiding underneath the party atmosphere is a scary little drama about a mentally ill country and western singer named Barbara Jean (Ronnee Blakely in a performance that is genuinely honest) and the men in her life.
		"Nashville" features more than an hours worth of musical performances, and even though they're not the polished musical numbers of Hollywood's golden age, they are refreshingly real.

	Nashville (1975) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Nashville" is a movie about people more than anything else, but a political campaign van that appears throughout the movie shows the unavoidable nature of politics in people's lives in the 70's.
		To dismiss this unique trait of "Nashville" is to hate the trademark of director Robert Altman.
		Really, "Nashville" is filled with great moments ALL the time that make the nearly three-hour film unmissable, but nothing in the world can prepare the patient viewer for the film's breathtaking finale which seems even more moving today in the midst of everything.

		The last Altman movie I rented was his little-known adaptation of a John Grisham novel.
		One aspect of the Nashville story in the last 30 years that should be examined is how the film doesn't translate well to the "pan and scan" set up for television.
		It was clear that he didn't understand the movie or the songs as an oblique parody of the genre as a whole.

		But the movie's marginal place in pop-culture history hasn't prevented Mark from pulling together a group of friends to remake the movie's soundtrack.
		The movie attracted critical raves upon its release but was hammered by the country establishment, which resented both the film's bleak view and the songs, which expertly lampoon commercial country conventions.
		That led to the notion of staging a version of the movie onstage at a Victoria bar, with Mark and her friends acting out elements of the film and performing the songs.

	Review of "Nashville" (1975) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		For Robert Altman, that film was Nashville, the defining movie of the 1970s and one of the 20 greatest films ever made.
		The film is as confrontational as it is admirable, unafraid to lay the cards on the table and point the finger not directly at politicians, but at the American public’s “I’m Easy” attitude and general malaise as the root cause of society’s ills.
		While I admit my take on Nashville may come across as an anti-American Chomsky-esque diatribe, consider the small moments in the film that are at first emotionally powerful, but upon closer examination reveal themselves to be revelatory in a social sense.

	Robert Altman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Altman was born in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of wealthy insurance man/gambler Bernard Clement Altman (who came from an upper-class German-American family) and Helen Mathews, a Mayflower descendant of English and Scottish ancestry.
		He invented a strange dog-tattooing system for canine identification and invested a lot of his and his friends' money into a company called "Identi-Code." As one of their publicity stunts, Altman and his associates even tattooed President Harry Truman's dog, while Truman was still in the White House.
		In 1980, he attempted a movie musical for Disney and Paramount, a live-action version of the comic strip/cartoon Popeye (which starred Robin Williams in his big-screen debut).

	Nashville - Movie Review
		Other critics gush about its little vignettes and how telling they are with subtle glances and nods of the head, but this is shorthand for the fact that the movie doesn't have much to say.
		Again, its ardent fans will talk of how Nashville is so remarkable for turning its head agains the budding hallmarks of Hollywood: the big action sequence, the leading man, the plot point structure.
		But so much of Nashville is frivolous and uninspiring, and there's just so much folky-country song and dance, that any sense of the auteur in Altman isn't readily apparent.

		Nashville received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress for Lily Tomlin's adulterous gospel singer and Ronee Blakely's fragile star, but Joan Tewkesbury's screenplay was ignored; Keith Carradine's seductively folksy "I'm Easy" won the Best Song statuette.
		Among the individual islands the film explores, standouts are Ronee Blakey as the beautiful and intense but fragile diva, Hnry Gibson as the king of country, with political aspirations, and Lily Tomlin as a loving mother and gospel singer facing a marital crisis.

		The most unforgettable characters in the movie are the best ones: Lily Tomlin's housewife, who loves her deaf sons.
		Because Altman himself effortlessly swims in a sea of friends and associates, he finds it easy to make movies that do the same thing, and what's amazing is not how many characters there are in "Nashville" (more than 25 significant speaking roles) but how many major characters.
		Almost all of the songs in "Nashville," and there are a lot of them, were written by the actors who sing them--Blakley, Karen Black, Gibson, Carradine and others.

	Movie Review: Nashville
		Released in 1975 when director Robert Altman was 50, it feels like the work of a man in his early twenties, the time when one is trying to figure out what to do with the lifetime ahead.
		Altman's Nashville isn't the kind of place you belong to, and this speaks to our own sense of loss or uncertainty.
		The fusion of primitive hopefulness and the veil of commercialism - the dichotomy between the roots and the truths of our nation - are at the heart of "Nashville," one of the most moving - and most American - movies ever made.

		Made in 1975, one year before the celebration of the American Bicentennial, the film can also be viewed as a metaphor for the state of American politics and culture of the time.
		They include a ditzy Californian who's visiting her dying aunt and downtrodden uncle, a philandering rock star and his bandmates, a country singer on the verge of a nervous breakdown, a tone-deaf waitress with dreams of superstardom, a mother with two deaf children, and a British journalist who is out to capture the "true" Nashville.
		The characters intersect at the beginning of the film after a highway accident, and again at the end when an act of violence tarnishes the political rally.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Nashville"
		It's a blast to see "Nashville" again in the widescreen (Panavision, in this case) in which it was conceived and filmed.
		Many filmmakers use the format to capture nature at its grandest; Robert Altman, for his most praised film, used the space for a different purpose entirely: as a metaphor for the scope of the human panorama the film captures.
		Altman and his screenwriter, Joan Tewkesbury, use this setting for nothing obvious: "Nashville" is not patently about the political gullibility of Americans, their taste in pop culture, the fecklessness of the South or a culture of violence.

		"Nashville" covers a few days in the Country music capital, but what it doesn't do is make a story/plot/verse/chorus about it.

		Altman mentioned once that Nashville is the Hollywood of Country music.
