Admirable film.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I think his mom would be extremely proud of him. Certainly because of what he has accomplished with, and through his music, but mostly because he has faced his demons with drug abuse and came out on the other side. To let addiction take his future, would allow his mother's murderer win by killing the thing she loved most. I'm not into heavy music, but have gained a new perspective. I admire this young man for standing up for what he believes in. He has taken back his power and now is on a different path. Now he's involved in helping bring awareness to domestic abuse and stays connected with his family. Z3
