The behind the scenes of Troy Duffy's life is so sad. It reminds me of thousands of men trying to 'make it' in Hollywood. I don't doubt that given the same opportunities their experience would be any different. The quote at the end of the picture is so true it's frightening. The filmmakers did an amazing job of capturing all the moments of their friend's rise and fall. I can't imagine welding a camera in more than half of those situations. Really intense stuff. The main problem I have with the film is that the one question that Troy's and all these guy's lives revolved around, is not answered. Why did Miramax drop the project? Just because? Maybe I missed it. I would have also appreciated a little deeper analysis of Troy's writing and the message of 'his' band. Also, I don't think the filmmakers dig deep enough into the psyche of their subject and friend. At one point Troy even asks the filmmaker and his friend what he thinks of the movie then the film cuts to him sharing his negative opinion away from Troy. At times it almost seems as if they did nothing to stop their friend's fall. All this aside, I think the film is a really valuable piece for anyone working or interested in Hollywood.
