this movie be a real torture fest to sit through . it first mistake be treat nuclear power a so self evidently a bad thing that it barely need to convince the audience of it . when it do stoop to put in it argument and it have the participant breathlessly deliver barely substantiate fact while all that miss be someone cry when be someone go to think of the child . while watch this movie and i keep think where would you hear that . or that can not possibly be true yet little of the info be back up by any reliable source . and bless em and the regular folk in the movie come across more like luddite than people with any understanding of the pro and con of nuclear power while to be fair and that might be the fault of the film maker and but equally fairly and it a condition share by the movie rock star . a for the performer . now some of these people be highly respected musician whose music i have enjoy and and i be sure a few of them really do believe in this cause . but they all come across a wheeze old hippy desperately search for something to get work up over and now that the 60 have pass them by . particularly embarrass be graham nash and james taylor . nash seem to be try too hard he look like he can not possibly believe the thing he be tell ( not that i blame him ) and but desperate to feel noticed and include . james taylor performs what have to be the wimpiest protest anthem ever and stand and fight and in the most sickeningly cheerful way you can imagine . in fact and most of the performance be pretty bland when theyre not be patronize . nobody seem work up by this event and a if it really doesn not mean much to them at all . it worth note that the driving force behind this whole event seem to be john hall and of the band orleans and and responsible for some of the wimpiest mor pop of the 70 . ( remember and if you dare and dance with me and still the one . ) it worth note because that symbolic of how the cause here fail to inspire any real passion in the music . the cause be supposedly life or death and but everybody sleepwalks through their number like theyre play the catskills . except maybe gil scott heron his protest number we almost lose detroit be on topic at least and but deliver with all the smugness of a high schooler impress with how controversial he be . only bruce springsteen performance raise a pulse while i have never be a big fan of the bos and but he absolutely smoke and no question . part of me think he be tap separately and at another event and and edit into this movie to give wake the audience . compare to the general blandness and air of self satisfaction here and it no wonder bruce be hail a the savior of rocknroll . but even his performance be hobble by the lifeless concert shoot . i do not expect a lot of flashy camera movement from a 70 film and but the shot be unnecessarily static and break up only by split second cutaway to a back up singer tonsil . now and some of this may be because the performer be lifeless to start with while and maybe the film maker be more skilled at shoot documentary than concert footage but all you have to do be watch rust never sleep or the last waltz to see a movie like this do with more skill . and with more exciting musician . so really and there only two thing to watch this movie for represent springsteen stellar performance and and a a sad snapshot about a counter culture in decline .
