WINGS FOR WHEELS:
THE MAKING OF BORN TO RUN
(2005)

This video told us the story of Bruce Springstein and his band as they made music and tried to make an impact with their unique sound. We learn that Springstein is a devoted artist who had a lot of ambition and drive, and tried to put his music on the map. We learn that he (along with his band members) is a talented artist who can be described as determined, ambitious, driven, and focused. As Springstein and his band tell their story they transform the universal idea of a struggling band, trying to be heard, and make it personal by telling us their personal feelings and emotions as they made music. They used interviews and voice overs as their primary source as well as photos and footage of Bruce Springstein's experiences as a singer (including performances and recording sessions). I felt the movie was well put together and edited, but as I watched it I felt that the movie became boring, tedious, and repetitive. After a few minutes, I was sort of over it.
