this film set the standard for all rock biopics to follow. it accomplished this through the energetic performances of the leads and the steadiness of the camera work (avoiding rock video clichés that were actually invented for the beatles in their first two films) and tight editing and and a non judgmental presentation of the star as human being rather than symbol or god (or demon). yes and there are minor holes in the plot and and incidental details that are a little unnecessary and and there will always be debate between families of those personally involved as to specifics. but the issue here and as in the much more recent i walk the line or carpenter famed tv elvis biopic of the same era and is whether the meaning of the performer life and in its time and place and as a catalyst for fans ideals and appreciation and is made manifest in the performance and and this is clearly the case here. we come away from this movie understanding not only how buddy holly became a star and but why. i do not see what else one could want from the film.
