Crazy Heart is a 1987 novel by Rhode Island College professor Thomas Cobb that later became a 2009 film written and directed by Scott Cooper and starring Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrell, and Robert Duvall."Bad" Blake is a once-famous country singer-songwriter who nowadays travels on the road to perform one-night stands wherever he can get them. His protégé, Tommy Sweet (Farrell), is now a bigger star than him, and that gets on his nerves. One day, reporter Jean Craddock (Gyllenhaal) comes along and asks for an interview. Blake complies, and the ensuing relationship with her and her son Buddy sets up the road to get his life back on track.The film became a sleeper success, in large part due to the pre-Oscars buzz for Bridges' performance, which earned him the Best Actor award. The film also won for Best Original Song ("The Weary Kind"), and Gyllenhaal was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. | |

Missing Child | |
| Crazy Heart / int_2de495bb | comment |
Missing Child: When Blake loses Buddy in a mall, both for what might have happened to the boy and the fact that Jean would never forgive him for doing that, especially after Jean made him promise not to drink in front of the boy. Good news/Bad news: Buddy is found safe by mall security, but Jean breaks off the relationship because of that. | |

Handsome Lech: Blake could be classified as either of these; he seems to have quite a way with the ladies, despite being a mess most of the time. | |

Embarrassing First Name | |
| Crazy Heart / int_829b958e | comment |
Embarrassing First Name: Blake almost never reveals his true name to people, but towards the end of the film we learn that it’s Otis. A name that hardly makes you think of a badass country singer, no wonder he used a stage name. | |

Jerkass | |
| Crazy Heart / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: We are led to believe Tommy is something of one at first, given Blake's issues with performing alongside him, but it is quickly revealed that, like Blake's inability to write new material, it's more his issues than Tommy's. Tommy is actually something of a Nice Guy, given he actively encourages people to take notice of Blake, encourages them to work together, tries to get a fan to obtain Blake's autograph, and actively pushes a deal that would see Blake receive more money than he's seen in years. | |
