#MattsMovieMania: Nebraska

Nebraska is a 2013 American drama road film starring Bruce Dern: an aging, booze-addled father making the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize. It was directed by Alexander Payne, written by Bob Nelson and released on November 15, 2013. This was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival where Bruce Dern won the Best Actor Award and it has been also nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

This movie, which was fully shot in black in white, had a slow start and never picked up with speed, but you quickly find yourself adapting to the screenplay, constantly laughing and enjoying every second of it all the way to the bitter end! Nebraska not only takes you on the journey with 77 year-old Bruce Dern and his son, but it portray's the little things in life that we all understand and love. Sit back and enjoy this film when you watch it because it's shot in a raw, real & direct way that will hit you with a bunch of emotions & probably forms of nostalgia. This is truly a piece of art in many shapes and forms that you will understand once the credits start to roll as they drive off into the distance.
