Movie Reviews of A Song's Best Friend - John Denver Remembered
Movie Review: "We Miss Him"
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was the first song I ever heard John Denver sing. Or it may have been "Sunshine On My Shoulders." For a lot of us of Denver's generation, we remember the first time we heard a particular song, its association with friends, some long since dead, others a long time missing. Many of the biggest hits are here of the man who exemplifies the best of America. He warmed us with his beautiful music; he cared about the earth. Surely he was the great O Positive. Who else would have been so at home singing with artists as different as Johnny Cash and Placido Domingo?
In addition to footage of John singing, there is also commentary by him about his songs and his love of nature as well as interviews with John's wife Annie, some of the musicians who played with him and others in the music industry. In a particularly moving segment Annie remembers all the unusual places she has heard "Annie's Song," from a square in Venice to an elevator in Japan. Someone else comments that Wagner had one piece of wedding music while John had two!
Looking at this DVD once again, as always I am amazed at how John Denver seemingly never aged. Of course now he belongs to the ages although he left us far too soon. It is useless to speculate about how many other great songs he would have written as he became older and more venerable, the elder statesman of the folk/pop world. Near the end of this not-to-be-missed tribute to John Denver, his wife comments softly that "we miss him." She speaks for thousands of the rest of us in that nostalgic, sad moment.
