"No man is really changed by success. What happens is that success works on the man's personality like a truth drug, bringing him out of the closet and revealing...what was always inside his head"
-author, ALBERT GOLDMAN
This is quoted in the closing credits. How true.
That quote sums up the entire documentary and Duffy's short lived career in Hollywood. It's a shame, as he has such talent and vision. Sadly, he just reinforced the stereotypes that people have of blue-collar, working class people (i.e. "You can dress them up, but you can't take them anywhere" --"You can take the trash out of the trailer, but not the trailer out of the trash").
Duffy kept pontificating as to how he was going to "show everyone and how they would come begging and crawling back", meanwhile years later, *he* is still without work in Hollywood, and no one in that town would piss on him if he were on fire. He showed everyone allright, and I'm sure Harvey Wienstein and Ms. Poster are just losing sleep </sarcasm>.
With his $300K he received from the script already spent (nor does he receive any revenue from the DVD sales), his band dissolved after being dropped by their label for poor album sales, his bar torn down, and no one in the Industry willing to talk to him (probably out of fearing the wrath of Wienstein, Poster, and Bruckheimer), I think that it is Mr. Duffy who is showing people that *he's* the one crawling, now.
