Bruce Springsteen Biopic Covers Painful Life Days Ahead Release

Bruce Springsteen is the subject of an upcoming biopic, "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere," starring Jeremy Allen White, who aims to break the Academy's streak of overlooking music biopics for Oscar nominations. The film focuses on the creation of Springsteen's 1982 album "Nebraska," a deeply personal period in his life that Springsteen described as involving "some of the most painful days" and sometimes required him to stay away from filming to allow creative freedom. Springsteen has been vocally critical of President Donald Trump during his 2025 European tour, calling the political situation an "American tragedy" rooted in deindustrialization and wealth disparity that led to Trump's rise. Despite harsh criticism of Trump as "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous," Springsteen remains hopeful about America's democratic future. The biopic and Springsteen's ongoing activism highlight both his musical legacy and his engagement with contemporary political issues. His new archival music releases and biopic contribute to a renewed public focus on his career and personal struggles, including his long battle with depression.
