RJ...I heard the same thing from a friend of a friend who knew the LIGHTING guy on the set...I wonder if they heard it from the same person...??? |

This movie is like trance... sending you up on rollercoaster of emotions from extremely depressing to highly uplifting and jaw dropping awe inspiring feelings. Its sad if this movie IS based on a fake character in real life since it does state "This movies is based on a true story" at the beginning of th film... but still this movie is too ing good to pass up.
Highly recommended docu-drama, Paul Kaye does an absolutely amazing roll as if he WAS this so-called "Frankie Wilde". After I finished watching I had assumed Paul Kaye was really Frankie Wilde because he did such an XLNT job. Good soundtrack too, and some fine ladies in it ;)
Enjoy, if you get your hands on it! |

I do agree lol..
It was funny at times, like with pete tong, "What the f**k is Martini???!!"
There is no frankie wilde it was a gimmick to hype the movie, plus I think there are a number of deaf dj's around..
it's not depressing tho |

I thought this movie was inspirational. I loved that it took me on that rollercoaster of emotions. It may be boring to some but to those of us who have "really" experienced the club scene for a long time, it really was a good portrayol of a dj's life.
Well---> a dj with no discipline.
And since I'v met a few dj's after the sun has come up and the drugs have worn off...I still believe they are artists with a passion for their music just like Beethoven was when he composed while he was deaf.
The bigger message in this movie..."Protect your hearing"...cuz life will be drastically different if you lose that one ability you take for granted.
Newayz...true character or fiction...who knows...sometimes mockumentaries are based on real people.
Cheers All |

I'd have to call BS, just in the respect that I don't think this movie was based solely on anyone.
Apparently there's a deaf happy hardcore DJ who also happens to be a Toronto resident...Didn't get his name though.
However, during the Q & A after the Jackman hall screening for Pete Tong, the director Michael Dowse, played up the audience by saying he made it up. When someone asked about the begining credits saying "based on a true story" Someone asked "how could you do that?" and he replied "people do that all the time! Look at Fargo!" Needless to say, the girl asking the question was completely astounded and dumbfounded by his response.
At another screening, Michael Dowse admitted that the movie was loosely based on Beethoven....And one particular scene where you hear Beethoven in the background would be a good indication of that.
I'm surprised at how gullible some of you are to assume that because a movie says "based on a true story" you'd think that it has to emulate every facet and characteristic of the original story....When you break it down, saying "based on a true story" just implies that it has similiar characteristics. I'd even go as far as to say that a large majority of Hollywood films that say "based on a true story" are really just loosely based, and very loosely based at that.
Anyone that has researched the "true" Amityville story would know this. The only thing that was accurate were the names of the people, and the fact that a massacre did in fact occur in that house. However, there was no mention of demon possession, or an indian burial ground. The lawyer for the Defeo family sat down with the writer of the original novel and actually orchestrated this plot, which later helped Ronnie Defeo get off with temporary insanity, even though none of the occurances in the novel were real. |
