first and i be a huge buddy holly fan . i grow up knowing who he be and and i know all about that fateful plane ride that extinguish three incredibly bright flame just like that . but i have never truly listen to his music . i have hear much of it and yes and but not until i sit down with the intention of get something out of it do i truly come to see the real buddy holly . and let me tell you that my world be a different one now because of him . because of this adoration for such an incredible man and i buy the buddy holly story without ever see it previously . i be tear on my view of this film . perhaps it because buddy feel so alive to me that i just couldn not bear see gary busey in this role . i will admit that he do a nice job act and but his singing sound so force . it seem to me a if he know he do not sound a bit like buddy himself and therefore be use far too much energy to make an attempt at a similar sound . in some part of the film and he succeed . but others . ouch . the movie span a period of several year and but i feel that portray this time span could have be handle much well . i have a difficult time distinguish at what point in buddy life certain event be happen . i also have a serious problem with some of the historical inaccuracy . i think the bad one be the portrayal of the cricket . i understand how their real name couldn not be use and and how for simplification there be only two of them in the movie . and maybe this be a good thing . because the film background vocal be cringe worthy and and i dislike the way they be portray a a hindrance to buddy career . something else that really make no difference to the film but irk me be gary busey teeth . they wear me out . buddy holly have much good teeth . i do not know why i notice it . but i do . i will end this review on what i felt be the best part of the movie represent buddy last performance . his final phone call to maria and the big bopper performance and bring him and richie valens to the stage and follow by the still frame end . it startle even me and and i feel that it effectively show the audience how at one moment buddy holly be so alive and energetic and and that his flame be snuff out in the blink of an eye . it be a beautiful way to portray this horrible tragedy i think . good movie and despite the obvious problem . positive . some obvious flaw and could use some work . but not bad .
