Scott Cooper's movie Crazy Heart got two Oscar in 2009, It's a movie with the soul, no pathos, no ostentatious patriotism, just as it is. Jeff Bridges plays such a collective role of the classics of the Nashville Sound. Forty years ago, while still a boy, he went into the army in the end "The Last Picture Show," now he's back with the "Oscar". There are, of course, the obvious parallels with his main "pop-role" of Big Lebowski, but it looks like he selects the role and playing style and maintains this line till the final credits.

If you are going to look for that "half", which makes "Nine" more than "Eight and a half", then you can find it in a consequence of the almost complete rejection of Marshall's confessional original. Instead og Fellini's excursion into your own mind here is melodrama of a person who does not want to change the freedom of their own fantasies on the responsibility and hassle of the real world. The unique crisis Marshall thus replaces the by the universal one. And with all the vulgarity of the resulting parade lacy stockings and fake romantic accents you have to admit: there is no need to be Fellini to resolve difficult relations with all the women of the life. It is much better to build mentally the cabaret of these women instead.
