Neil, Willie (and sons!) and Some Great Music

The 5 stars are for the opportunity to see and hear Neil Young and his band, Willie Nelson and two of his boys, Lukas and Micah. Lukas does an amazing version of his father's song, Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground, which I thought at first was Willie. Beautiful voice, and so like his old man. What a gift!

I liked the music, and seeing these people I was happy to see in a film (always great to see Willie, even if only briefly). Liked the ranch/old west location, the costumes, the wildlife and nature, the focus on sharing seeds and growing food, the lack of violence, some of the dialogue (there wasn't much).

This is like an overlong, surreal, poorly shot/directed/edited music video. If you are looking for a coherent story with a beginning, middle and end, this isn't it. If you like the people involved and their music and have nothing much to do, you could have this on and enjoy its special moments.

Should Have Been Concert Video

With some of the gorgeous, but badly shot, Colorado mountains and wildlife. The band's live performances are pretty good but too, too much amateur film around it. The non-band soundtrack, which is mostly Young and his electric guitar, pales next to his classic guitar soundtracks, like the Malick film, Dead Man. Plus a bunch of nothing blues licks/songs. FYI, Willie is only in this for 5sec.

This throwback film makes me feel old as I am. I guess Young and Hannah still cling to the circa 1970 fad of being in a "cool" cowboy film with pop music, ala Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Kids will think they are watching an old folks film.

If you have a message to get across, please don't make it "only for insiders" and those who "understand" Young's films. That's stupid. If you want to make an environmental statement that's effective, then do it right. Ditto mountain music video or live concert.

Pretty good jam in the middle, based on Cowgirl in the Sand. But left me wishing the actual song was in there somewhere. Nice version of Pocahontas, but underwhelming Peace Trail. Interesting version of Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground, by Willie's imitative son, Lukas, except it sounds too studio, but the players are often in the campfire's smoke lol. Hats off to them for sticking it out.

I figure the best thing is to mark the performance spots and ignore the rest, but why? Just go to YT and see all you want without bad acting, bad cinematography, bad direction, and all the cluelessness you don't want.

of course it's not hateful eight but still...

Well this is not an unmissable movie by any standard, but as everyone knows, who has been to a Neil Young gig, you cannot help falling in love with, in awe of, the artist. So you get seduced by the simplicity and truth of this movie as you would in a Neil Young concert.

This is a movie shot over a few days, so it should be rated as you would an end of cursus student effort, and in that case it is, to play with words, "the great silence" of student movies. The plot is inexistent but the images are great, and the music is outstanding.

Just go and roll with it if you feel like it. Stay clear if you only listen to bland pop supermarket sugar.
