grandmother lettie represent esther and everyone in this world who have ever dream about good thing have be laugh at and do not you know that . but there a difference between dream and do . the dreamer just sit around and moon about how wonderful it would be if only thing be different . and the year roll on and by and by they grow and they forget everything and even about their dream . oh yes and you want to be somebody and but you want it to be easy . oh you modern girl give me a pain . these line say it all . this story be about our struggle to fulfill our dream and the sacrifice we have to make for them . this be about how we can reach the unreachable by fight for it and not by sit on the sideline watch it all fade away in oblivion . this be about the cruelty of love and make u vulnerable and weak . great theme that will never get old . of course other flick have the same theme and but this one really show the pain and the effort that have to be put in it to fulfill any dream . i really like this movie for it ironic vision on fame and how it alter the personality of the star in a negative way . we see a man get push aside because of his own destructive behavior and attitude . britney spear and lindsay lohan and amy whinehouse and they weren not the first star that go down in oblivion and they most certainly would not be the last one . those who want to survive in the cruel world of the showbiz must fight and stay clean from booze and other addiction . only the strong survive . ( and that most certainly also apply for mere mortal a ourselves . ) .
