this movie make me cry at the end . i watch at least 3 4 movie a week . i see load of great movie and even more crap one . but when end scene catharsic at it core come i cry . and if you do not you have serious problem . the story be archetypal nothing new or original . but it real because that sort of thing really happen and that people really exist . glam isn not my sort of music but i really admire all that they go through in early 70 . at some point this direct me toward velvet goldmine . docudramas never really work very good . but this movie really meked u believe it all . because they do not try to make it a a path full of glorious concert and present musician that be superheroes and groupie girl that be stupid and emotionally numb and they do not glorify drug and alcohol and they promote rehabilitation and redemption that come even 20 year late . once again great movie . since leave las vega i be never so move by a movie .
