Glorious destruction

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2018)

Well, an old faded and genuinely screwed up but talented singer meets his musical muse and destiny in young Ally. In age old fashion, this happy union has the seeds of it's own destruction sewn right in. Jack's swimming in his addictions and even the support and love he gets from Ally aren't protection from drowning. He finally gives in to his struggles and commits suicide.
It's too bad death is such a glorified end in romance. I would far rather see Jack do the boring day to day work of being alive and getting his head on straight than ending it all in dramatic fashion. That is the way of the romeo and juliette storyline. This film has so much drama and kind of a bad message but is o well acted and filmed. The music is perfection.
