. and my reason for which be simple there be so many great film present and discuss here ( most of them by their own director and star ) and so many clip of infamous moment in 70 movie history and and in fact a number of film i have yet to see and that it wouldn not be fair to grade this work . by this logic i shouldn not have give grade to other movie documentary like martin scorsese personal journey through american movie and my voyage to italy . but while those film be on the basis of one man view of cinema and narrate through most of the way and richard lagravanese and ( the late ) ted demmes a decade under the influence let the film and the creator speak entirely for themselves . what make decade worth at least one watch for film buff and or just anyone who like the film of the late 60 70 in america and be the level that it go to and that in the uncut version ( three hour and not the theatrical version and which i have no comment on ) plenty of ground be cover . interview include the like of scorsese and robert altman and sidney lumet and julie christie and jon voight and francis ford coppola and paul schrader and pam grier and bruce dern and peter bogdanovich and roger corman and dennis hopper and robert towne and etc and and there a constant flow of insight from start to finish . the way the clip and director or actor pop up and edit together in a flashy and quick style and be also fascinate . the one down comment i have on the documentary be that most of the information present have be report on in various book and like easy rider and rag bull and and though i haven not see the movie version of that book yet i be sure it would have cover many of the film and director and incident a here ( in fact and the book of that be one of the best i have ever read . however and this documentary serf a something special for film buff and occasional movie goer of the future they can look at this and learn not only about such well know picture a easy rider and the last picture show and annie hall and come home and and lessor knowns like scarecrow and panic in needle park and the landlord and joe and they shoot horse don not they . they can also learn about who influence them ( new wave of europe and asia ) and who they serve a influence for and and how the subject matter that create controversy after controversy still serve a intriguing and chancy material for the contemporary crowd . seek this out .
