Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4471844, member: 833"] George and Tammy is very good. The story is not that original, and is basically "A Star is Born", in real life 1960's Tennessee, but Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain are amazing. Shannon in particular needs to make the audience care about someone that was just a nasty, raging alcoholic, and he has pulled it off so far. The real-life George Jones really was just a piece of garbage. Chastain is awesome too, making her love for Jones believable and understandable despite how useless he was by the beginning of the 1970's. Chastain's Tammy Wynnette is more complex than your typical "why is she with him" heroine, which adds a lot of depth to the story. [/QUOTE]
