Its All Gone Pete Tong

Its all gone Pete Tong, This movie is about the Deaf Dj Frankie Wilde
I love how this movie was shot; they had some Dj's who are at the top of the Dance Scene, Pete Tong, Paul Van dyk, Carl Cox. Describing how they were influenced by Frankie. The movie is based upon true events; the name Frankie Wilde is not real as far as I have been able to find out. But that’s not what’s really important as the movie itself is.

The movie itself is full of energy, and music (my kind of movie). Has great music and good acting as well, it takes you on a wild trip through Frankie's Life. You fell sympathy for Frankie as he starts to loose his hearing as he is trying to keep "giging"
But the fact of the matter is he is going fully deaf. The movie Still manages to keep it light hearted and comical, but also in the final moment when he does go fully deaf. You cannot but help feel the pain he is going through.

One of the interviewed shots has someone saying that "Frankie was in a very dark place" you can almost feel it with him. One shot where his manager is asking him what’s going on and telling him the label wants to hear something. He is in bed lying there and there’s a quick shot of some tears falling from his eyes. It’s then, when it really hits home with him and the viewer that it’s all over. He is deaf and nothing is going to fix it.

Technical/non-technical Aspects:

The writing is very well done, the flow of the movie is very good, it makes you want tell Frankie that he has stop his self destructive ways if he wants to keep "giging"
Music what can I say, off the top music. Directing is also very good and it captures what the story itself is trying to say.

Rating:
On the scale of corn cobs, 1 being so corny that you should think about changing your diet and 5 not so corny. This is a solid 5 I have only watched the movie once, and I usually watch a movie 2 or more times to get the complete feel and absorb everything. And catch anything that I missed, this movie is up there with the likes of Donnie Darko, City of God, and a few others ones. This movie consistently has a good feel to it, I was laughing just as much as I was grooving on my couch to the music. A definite purchase, as watching it one time is not nearly good enough.
