Abstract:

 This article examines the representation of the life of the British journalist Sarfraz Manzoor in the biographical film Blinded by the Light (Gurinder Chadha, 2019). The aim is to examine the different procedures used by the film director to portray the boyhood of Manzoor who finds salvation in the music of Bruce Springsteen. To answer the research question, a film analysis was carried out and also careful consideration was given to the reception of the movie. The movie portrays the desperation of the main character Javed and introduces the music of Springsteen. Also, the film focuses on commitment. The study contends that Blinded by the Light can be regarded as an unconventional musical biopic about Springsteen although it depicts the conflicts and hopes of the teenager Manzoor.
