Oasis brothers unite for new biopic amid reunion buzz

Oasis, the iconic British band, has recently reunited for a significant UK and Ireland tour, putting aside their long-standing differences for the sake of their mother, Peggy. This reunion comes alongside their participation in a new biopic about Robbie Williams titled 'Better Man,' which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 2. The film features a CGI version of Robbie and includes a bizarre scene where he is depicted with the Gallagher brothers engaging in drug use, a nod to their past struggles with substance abuse. The relationship between Robbie Williams and the Oasis brothers has been tumultuous, marked by public feuds and insults since the 1990s. Notably, Robbie once challenged Liam Gallagher to a boxing match, and Noel famously referred to Robbie as "that fat dancer from Take That." Despite these conflicts, the collaboration in the biopic signifies a shift in their dynamic, showcasing a willingness to work together creatively. Director Gracey aimed to create a unique narrative for the film, steering away from traditional musical biopics like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Rocketman.' He drew inspiration from Robbie's own reflections on his career, where he likened himself to a performing monkey, which shaped the film's concept. This approach highlights the complexities of fame and performance, particularly in the context of Robbie's past struggles with addiction. The involvement of Oasis in the biopic not only marks a new chapter for the band but also reflects a broader narrative about reconciliation and the impact of personal history on artistic expression. As both Robbie and the Gallagher brothers have been candid about their past issues with drugs and alcohol, this film serves as a poignant reminder of their journeys and the potential for growth and unity in the face of adversity.
