CROSSROADS

Crossroads is a 1986 musical drama film starring Ralph Macchio, Joe Seneca and Jami Gertz, inspired by the legend of blues musician Robert Johnson. According to legend, as a young man living on a plantation in rural Mississippi, Robert Johnson was branded with a burning desire to become a great blues musician. He was "instructed" to take his guitar to a crossroad near Dockery Plantation at midnight. There he was met by a large black man (the Devil) who took the guitar and tuned it. The "Devil" played a few songs and then returned the guitar to Johnson, giving him mastery of the instrument.

I like Crossroads, because represent the mysterious of blues, the spirit and feelings of blues. When I heared about Crossroads I didn't want to watch it, because it is a very old movie... Usually I follow recently movies, because it has better definition and is more amazing, but Crossroads can imply you with the story line. The constant duel, the clever boy against the devil, for the mystical power and become the best blues guitarrist in the story... they always want to became the best.

My favorite scene is when Macchio has a guitar duel against Steve Vai, the ringer guitarrist .. and Macchio won playing classical music on a electric guitar..was awesome.

Another scene that makes me enjoy a lot the movie is when Macchio, play in an old place, the song is "Feeling Bad Blues", and that song can break my heart ..
