That'll Be The Day (1973)

Britain, 1958. Restless at school and bored with his life, Jim leaves home to take a series of low-level jobs at a seaside amusement park, where he discovers a world of cheap sex and petty crime. But when that world comes to a shockingly brutal end, Jim returns home. As the local music scene explodes, Jim must decide between a life of adult responsibility or a new phenomenon called rock & roll.

Interesting film, but also unsatisfactory. Yes, the film gets across the dreariness of Jimmy's life, but is not really credible. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was a small kid, apparently because he couldn't settle back into civilian life after the war. It is possible to understand that, if not condone it. Jimmy, on the other hand, does the same (inevitably) to his wife and kid at the end of the movie for purely selfish reasons. His character has no redeeming features. Despite being academically bright, he decides to chuck it all in for no clear reason. He then treats women as disposable bonkees, and deliberately avoids helping his friend (Ringo Starr) when he's being beaten up. He also sleeps with his wife's best friend the night before the wedding. At the end, we really don't care what happens to this selfish prick! The music, on the other hand, is great! One star is for the soundtrack, which is no longer available, unfortunately.

Enjoyed this one. David Essex pusues his dream of becoming a rock star. Great "acting" by Ringo.

The thing that strikes me about this movie, and to a lesser extent than its sequel, is that it seems to be built on the premise that a man's life is dramatic enough to warrant the plot's entire focus and dedication. The rise in action ebbs and flows, but never crashes in. For me at least, there is a feeling of authenticity and peacefulness in this structure. Essex plays a man interesting enough to warrant the autobiographical feel of the film. While not for everyone, this film is thoroughly enjoyable.
