the rise be about a woman whose sole purpose in life be to give of herself completely . protect from adult responsibility by her manager and rise dug far and far inside herself and alienate all those who love her . with an adolescent attitude toward life and she indulge in every excess . the poignant scene in the phone booth and where she overdose on a lethal combination of pain killer and heroin and and booze be certainly worthy of an academy award . we feel her pain and and we really believe we be see a woman in the last hour of her life . kill herself before our eye and yet we be helpless to stop her . we can not stop watching . the final scene and and the final song rise sings and stay with me and be filmmaking at it best . it sum up her life and and the life of so many talented musician ( kurt cobane and jim morrison and etc ) . rise be desperate to have someone and anyone and who be there just for her . yet she push everyone away who truly care about her . bette midler passionate and inspired performance in concert footage be unforgettable . the rise be one of the best movie ever make .
