I wouldn’t say Pete necessarily got “all the talent” so much as Pete is the sum of his forefathers parts. He has his great grandfathers balls for business, his grandfathers raw musical talent, and his father’s poetic sensibility, all this and he managed to stay clean and sharp all the way to the end. Pete is the culmination of everything that could’ve made the past 3 generations of his name great.

The first time in his life Tony realizes that someone loves him unconditionally and without judgment. Yah Tony abandoned Pete but made sure at least for a time that he would have enough drugs to sell in order to survive. Tony must've thought " There's no way out of this hole for Me but at least I can do what I can to make sure my son survives and who knows maybe even follow in his grandfather's foot steps. "

I like how Tony and his son Pete spoke about the Himalayas and then Mt. Everest. "Everyone's gotta take a shot at it" True to what Pete said about a metaphor in life to lead to stardom, not just in the music business. Three generations of Belinski. He's got Zalmie's roots with a desiring voice to sing, he's got Benny's talent to play the piano and other instruments, he's got his dad's witty songwriting. All that is what Pete needs to rock out to stardom.

Genuinely one of my favorite movies. I’ve watched it so many times and can’t find a single flaw. It’s just a pure fragment of the Bakshi rotoscope era.. but an amazing merger of original keyed animation as well. I feel this movies message so deeply every time I watch it- it hits harder than most biopics for me. I’m also always just blown away by some of the drawings in this movie.. and the raw skill of some animators that will probably forever be unnamed!! Richard Linklater and so many other directors owe sooo much to the powerful art direction of this movie.

I also think more from the rotoscope era are a plus- LOTR, Fire and Ice. Fire and ice has some bonkers rotoscope sequences that have a drop of keyed expressions. The restored versions are just so crisp too.

In a way, even the title of the film has a certain irony to it. It's not a typical "American," story. Much like Spielbergs "American Tail," is not the story of the typical American. These are stories about Jews and *their* experience of America. Not America writ large. It's an interesting touch with upside cross. I'm not sure what the real meaning is either.
