Uon a dark road in New Jersey and a car speeding to the sound of Suicide. The one who guides him and almost loses his way is the young Bruce Springsteen in 1981, at the time he was composing “Nebraska”, the 1982 album that became a sales success even without a tour, promotion or photograph of the artist on the cover. In “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere”, by Scott Cooper, there is also the Springsteen of childhood hitting his father with a baseball bat, of course, with a black and white to signal the flashback to the viewer. That and his love of Terrence Malick’s cinema — or how “Bloody Bridegrooms” (“Badlands” in the original) was instrumental in the reflection on evil concept of the “Nebraska” songs. Add to this a reading by Flannery O’Connor, a script by Paul Schrader (“Born in the USA”, a project that inspired him but which was never made, despite having inspired the title of one of Springsteen’s biggest hits) and a viewing of “The Shadow of the Hunter”, by Charles Laughton. Clues to understand the process of writing the raw songs on the album that shaped him as an artist.
