How 'Blinded by the Light' brought BruceSpringsteen's music to the big screen for a song
” is a paean to the power — lyrically and musically — of Springsteen, who might as well live in a parallel universe but communicates in this one with the movie’s writer hero.
When Springsteen came back from reading the treatment with the simple response, “I’m all good with this,” Blinded by the Light went in front of the cameras, and wowed the audience at Sundance earlier this year, setting up a spirited bidding war won by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, who acquired it for the $15 million it cost to make. Offers were being texted to Chadha as she sat in the audience watching her own film.
The issue of immigration has always been central to Chadha’s films and “Blinded by the Light” is no different. “Bruce is talking about people struggling to get by, ordinary working-class people on the margins feeling trapped and wanting a better life,” she says. “And that’s totally what my parents were doing. That’s what connected me to him. His songs were like movies, with their own characters and narratives, and it was always bittersweet. He never gave you a happy ending, and he still doesn’t.
