Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005)

Watched in 2012 (534 movies items)

"21.11. Sam Dunn on oikeastaan aivan täysi idiootti eikä hänen metallihehkutustaan jaksa seurata, sillä mies on aivan innoissaan kaikesta metalliin liittyvästä. Häntä katsoessaan alkaa jo hävettää oma kiinnostus heavy metal -musiikkiin. Dokumentin kannalta mennään sieltä missä aita on matalin, ja jos vielä kerran joudun kuulemaan miehen sanovan metallin olevan outsider-hommaa niin tapan jonkun.

Awesome job

“Easily my favorite documentary of all time. The kid did a great job in this movie. Explaining all the sub genres, and just exploring every aspect of metal, the good and the bad side. Rather you like metal or not the movie is very well made and is just plan awesome” read more

"28.9. Digiboksi Pituuteensa nähden varsin kattava dokkari. Kiertää hienosti Metallican, Megadethin ynnä muiden kaikkien tuntemien orkesterien tarinan ja keskittyy edes vähän vähemmän tunnettujen orkesterien merkitykseen metallin historiassa. Pitää hyvin otteessaan vailla mitään turhaa. Vähän liian kiireinen kerronta on kylläkin, materiaalia olisi varmasti ollut huomattavasti pidemmäksikin elokuvaksi."

Entertaining but not deep

“It's very fun -being a metal fan myself- to watch, but from the anthropologist point of view the makers claim to come from, it's pretty shallow. The answers to questions the maker asks himself are pretty obvious from the get go.

It's great that someone made a documentary about heavy metal from an anthropological perspective, but in my opinion it fails to go deep enough. It seems more like an excuse to arrive at conclusions that were on the maker's mind prior to starting the "investigation".

Again, it's fun to watch, but don't expect any real social science to appear.” read more
