It's All Gone Pete Tong Movie Review Message Board and Comments

This movie is an amazing tale about the obstacles one faces and overcomes.Anyone who has a passion for music should definetly watch this and praise this for he truely is a star!!!!!!!!!!

The review given on "It's all gone Pete Tong" is quite exhausting, the film isnt some pathetic attempt to recreate a "true" story, even if the film isn't based on a true story at all. It may have its frequent cheesy lines an ridiculous scenes but there story is quite inspirational. Put yourself in Frankie Wildes shoes, if you can find them, either that or just imagines yourself in his shoes, its up to you. Frankies story isn't pleasant whatsoever, and we all know that the loss of such an important sence, leading to disability, can lead to people taking desperate measures, in this case drug abuse and addiction. Going from such an influential and individual character to a disabled, broke widdower can be the downfall of any man. Frankie's recover is one of the best parts of the film, because its different, and it deals with his struggle to come to terms with his addiction and his not being able to hear, which is probably the most important thing in his life. Becoming once again the top Dj in Ibiza is Frankie's realisation that his disability means nothing, he proves to the world his ability to create music is far supperior than any other Dj out there, as it is purely from his mind and body. I think the main reason for this film being given bad reviews is the fact that there aren't alot of trance fans out there, yet trance fans who watch the film will fully understand the message it gives. If you look at Dj Tiësto and compare it to what Frankie was likes before his downfall (drugged up maniac), you can prove trance isn't for people coke'd up to their eyeballs, as Dj Tiësto is straight edge and his ability to create music is unexplainable. He can live without drugs, alcohol and ciggaretes because his music and the reaction it bring from his fans is enough for him to be fully satisfied. "It's all gone Pete Tong" may be quite tongue-in-cheek sometimes and a bit unrealistic, yet it deals with some of the most important issues people procrastinate about dealing with. Overall i felt it was an excellent film which im sure is the reason for its awards also. By David Cameron
