i enjoy this film yet hat it because i want to help this guy . i be in my fifty and have a lot of friend in the music business . who be now still try to become adult . no more fan and groupie and money etc . and they be have such a hard time adjust to a regular life . a they see the new band etc get the spotlight . it be almost like they have to begin anew . this film be a testament to what a lot of the old rocker from the 70 and 80 be go through now . and that where i find the film sad and depressing . but it portray the life of an old rock star abandon and lose in a believable way . the young girl who arrive at his decrepit home remind me of hollis maclaren ( outrageous ) . and she be one lady in a film you will cheer for . this film be a must have for folk in their 50 who have see the rise and fall of band and people who know the member and and have watch them hurt a age creep in and and popularity fade . this be an almost perfect movie . sad but in a way positive . because of the whale . a must see .
