Scott Cooper, the director of Bruce Springsteen Biopic, just shared what the movie is about.
On Sunday, September 28, the 55-year-old American filmmaker and former actor in the New York Film Festival premiere attended Springsteen: Living me from nowhere, where he was chatting with PEOPLE magazine.
Cooper told the business that the upcoming biopic playing Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen will “throw light” on the famous singer-songwriter and guitarist’s mental illness and the struggles he is facing.
He said, “This is probably his most painful chapter, the most vulnerable chapter of his life.”
The director for Hostiles Added, “He just got out of the River Tour to great recognition and success. Instead of hunting roar from arenas and hit singles, he had the courage to look inward and meet a lot of unresolved trauma he had treated.”
Cooper continued to note that what came from this self-reflection “Er-Ja, I believe-Hans thinks-Han’s best album and one of the best albums of the last 50 years.”
He said, “So in order to tell that story and to shed light on Bruce’s mental illnesses, my hope is that people who are fighting and not knowing how to get help or the will to help will see that this is a very relatable story and will seek the help they need.”
The Creator believes that seeing Springsteen “Going in Therapy will hopefully destroy” the negative view linked to therapy, especially for men.
“We didn’t really talk about it because it is not a message film about mental illness, but I think it is part of his creative process and when you see his creative process is about mining this unresolved trauma from his childhood that we all have in some form.”
“I think it’s a very relatable and powerful story, but it’s not a message movie. There’s a lot of music in the movie, but it’s just his record Nebraska and not born in the United States,” Cooper noted.
It is relevant to mention that Springsteen: lives me from nowhere Scheduled released on October 24, 2025.
