Off: Lemmy

[big mike]

I saw this last night and it is brilliant. I have put the following review on 
IMDB. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1236472/usercomments-3

I managed to see this at the local cinema last night, the Riverview special late 
night showing, and it was a joy. It was a wonderful film and to watch it with a 
like minded audience enriched the experience.

The film is well shot, well edited and has great access to a wide range of 
people from Lemmy's past, and people who have been inspired by him. All the 
interviews seemed to give the same image of the man, which is one of the main 
points about him; he lives the life he wants, accepting the consequences and 
living an authentic life. The film is surprisingly funny and moving, and 
although he lives a life very different to most people I think it is quite life 
affirming. The film has a fantastic cast, well interviewed, some good shots of 
his music (but not so much that it would alienate people who are not into heavy 
rock'n'roll) some careful editing to give coherence, judicious use of slow-mo 
and worthwhile clips after the titles. I was smiling for most of this movie, 
which I did not expect.

This movie deserves the accolades heaped on it. It is an excellently made movie 
about a very interesting subject. I would love to see the team do another movie, 
or biographical movie, as their style here made what could have been a humdrum 
run through of one unusual lifestyle a wonderfully entertaining, informative and 
interesting film.
