A look in the lives of people really passionate about music

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2010)

For those of you looking for your run of the mill story line, and an obvious protagonist and antagonist then you are in the wrong place. This movie is not for snobs. This is not a drama, comedy, or anything in between but a solid tribute to rock music and it's listeners. Among the small stories of life on the ship, there is an underlying theme that music and the passion people have for it trumps all, even those who work so hard to destroy it. I found it heartwarming, hilarious, entertaining, and fun. It's a story of friendship and coming of age as well as loyalty and rebellion. The frequent clips of the listening audience demonstrated the whole network of people whose lives were made a little better by the music and focused not just on the pirate radio guys but on the rock movement and how it touched so many. Unlike most other movies around at present, it did not cover one idea to long or stretch out one feeling too long which gave it more of a sense of real life and real people. After watching this movie you feel as if you are good friends with all the people on board and that you too can't wait to tune in to pirate radio. Good job to everyone involved in making this movie.
