I admit: I cried while watching this film. Is so moving and honest. You know, if you have old relatives you will understand why this film is so powerful and touching. It's about hope and having a meaning to live. Imagine yourself there, in the place of the protagonist. Old, alone and feeling emptiness on your life. You'll use all the means possible to get out of the stagnation, like in fact,everybody would do, and that happens frequently with people of that age. You see, a fake 1 million award to buy a truck is everything that moves the old protagonist. It looks unrealistic? Absolutely yes. But there is where the beauty of Nebraska lies. Is a metaphor, a metaphor that is present everyday, with persons of all ages. Searching a meaning for life. And I say: there isn't more intelligent, touching or beautiful existentialist works than Nebraska. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a masterpiece. An unique masterpiece. Is not a dry drama either. There is a lot of comedic moments on it, which can turn the experience even more refreshing. I rather consider it a dramedy than a drama, personally. The cinematography is beautiful, the black and white choice was excellent given the tone of the film.
Anyway, you can't go wrong: watch it. 10/10
