If you’ve been following this site early on, you know how much I loved the movie “It Might Get Loud“. I was fortunate enough to see it in a theatre (granted it was sort of a crappy theatre). I went to the movie by myself, and I was completely blown away by what I saw, heard and felt. I remember it stayed with me for a long time. This movie is suppose to be a “documentary about the electric guitar from the point of three significant rock musicians”. I would definitely disagree. Sure it was about guitars, but to me, it was really about showing passion. Passion to ‘create’, and the tool just happened to be a electric guitar. I thought it was interesting how they related to each other, I thought it was interesting how I related to them. Great movie.
Well, I wanted my wife to see the film so we rented the DVD the other night, and she was absolutely blown away as well. I also thought I enjoyed it even more the second time around. I think every guitarist on the planet should watch this movie.. it is quite inspirational. But if you’re a fan of documentaries this is great regardless of playing a instrument or not. Passion is infectious and inspirational.
The DVD also has some bonus features, and we watched a few of the deleted scenes,etc. But there is a great press conference where the producers, directors and the three musician’s get to answer some interesting questions and provide further insight to the film.
You can pick up the DVD at Amazon.com
