Acting in the name of rock and roll
Bell 2022-03-23 09:02:27
Hollywood is used to "old wine in a new bottle", but unfortunately this time it is "indiscriminately bottled moldy wine". corrupted n drunk superstar, a boy with dream, a girl to share the dream with, misunderstand, lost and and finding themselves eventually. come on! Can the plot be a little more vulgar and unpleasant? As for the bottle, has the director got any idea what the rock n roll is? wine, sex, gay. Almost all the label elements in the film seem to be tugging, not exploring the essence of rock, let alone revealing an "era". All aspects of the film are different from the theme "Velvet Gold Mine". Needless to say, the theme, perspective, and depth are superficial. Even the performances of Tom and Sister Jones are mostly empty. In addition, the end of the film teases the boy group. Not very clever. In short, it is at most "a vulgar inspirational commercial musical"!
