Kevan Cummings More depth than you’d initially think for a movie titled Rockstar. A young musician has talent, but lacks the fire and drive that propels regular guitarists to true stardom. When a canteen owner at his college says that he needs to experience pain and heartbreak to tap into his inner genius, he decides to declare his love to the hottest girl at school, get rejected, and get the ball rolling. Except it doesn’t quite work like that.she turns out to be the chocolate to his peanut butter and, even though she’s to be married, they form a tight bond that will keep drawing them together even as their lives change. This is a very powerful movie which explores loss, the fire of creativity, the emptiness of fame, and how having a kindred spirit in your life pushes you forward as well as grounds you. The songs are great ( if you like rock) , the cinematography is stunning, and after a shaky start, the romance is touching and tragic. Worth a watch to experience the characters’ journeys.
