A Brilliant Conflict
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is a thorough, up-close look at KISS drummer Eric Carr and the person he was until his death of cancer at age 41. It begins with his childhood and how he got into drumming, the bands he played for until he got with KISS, his KISS audition, and his time with the band. It includes numerous interviews with his parents, friends, and musicians Carr played with. Conspicuous by their absence are the other members of KISS (Ace, Gene, and Paul) who, had they participated, would have given this documentary the extra amount of credibility to really put it over the top. Its also clear the filmmakers could not get the rights to the KISS music library as there is not a KISS song is heard throughout the entire program, concert footage is shown without the music. But this is not a documentary about KISS, its about Eric, and there are tons of family pictures and home videos that haven't been shown elsewhere. By the end, you get an excellent feel about what kind of person Eric was and how everyone who came in contact with him have nothing but praise for the person he was. You almost feel like you knew him yourself by the end.A good effort, even if its pretty clear the filmmakers had limited resources at their disposal. If your an Eric Carr fan or even a KISS fan, this really is a must see.
