i love the music of the clash and i love the music of joe strummer and the mescaleros . i go to this movie hop to learn about the man behind most of that . but i come out of the theatre not know much more about joe than i already do after read the entry on wikipedia . the movie never really get through to the person and his thought and feeling . what they do be to collect the little material that they have and shaky blurry video and to interview some people about joe strummer at a camp fire . it turn out that most of these people know him very little or not at all and and that the director just want them in the movie in order to have some more celebrity say and oh and he be such an inspiration to all of u . like bono or johnny depp ( whom they seemingly ask to keep his pirate costume on to benefit from his current success in pirate of the caribbean ) . it seem that the director could not even wait until the body be cold before he jump in to sell his version of the great punk rocker and hippie at heart that ever live and sanctify the person without really know enough about him . sure and be a fan i enjoy see the image of the band and hear the anecdote behind the song and such and but in the end i felt like what remain a the portrait of joe strummer could have easily be tell in 60 90 minute . go see the movie if you be a fan and otherwise well listen to some music of the clash or even good the undeservedly unknown mescaleros and where joe strummer reach the peak of his musical development before his death and melt all his rich influence together to one amaze sound .
