Movie Reviews of Peter, Paul and Mary - Carry It On - A Musical Legacy
Movie Review: This Is A Must Have......
Summary: 5 Stars
for ANY PETER,PAUL& MARY fan!!! There are lots of clips from their earlier years 1961-1970, and clips from 1978-2004.....keep in mind..I'm sure you know by now that Mary Travers left this world in 2009,and so there are no clips that go all the way upto now, if you want that you will have to wait until Noel, and Peter come out with something.
They are still singing together afterall. Um....THIS documentary here includes a 2003/4 rendition of their very first song ever sung together as a trio....Mary had A Little Lamb in 1961. I wish however, that there was actual footage of them singing that song THEN, and lots more clips from their early years as that is when they were such a smash success. When I see clips from their shows, like at the March On Washoington 1963, and 1969,and on Jonathan Winters in 1969 and I see the floweredress Mary's wearing, I'm reminded of the flower children, I wasn't born until 1967, so that was a generation or two before my time!!
But if you take an interest in the Sixties, and politics, social, political activism, oh yeah and folk music too, this is a great beginners start. It's also good if you're older and want to take a stroll down memory lane.
But PP&M were always a current folk group, who didn't want to be labeled as a "nostalgia act," in the early 2000's they came out with a tear-jerker called "Jesus Is On The Wire," which I'm surmising is not only about homosexuals and the need to respect their rights to live their lives the same as do straight people,
I also think the title is suggestive of the horrendous murder of Mathew Shepherd was beaten to a bloody pulp, hung on a barbed wire fence, and left to die...when asked why they did that to him , they said it was because he was gay. I think it's wonderful that PP&M, straight as they are, rose to the occasion in this very sad but important song.
Last but not least, I enjoy clip from Peter Paul& Mommy Too, a heart warming footage of Mary with her grand daughter, Wyllie on her lap looking up at her, in the rocking chair quietly, and proud as ever listening while proud Grandma Mary Travers sang For Baby For Bobby. Just for her. The light just sparkles in Wyllie's brown eyes...you can tell she is in absolute heaven!! She adores her grandma!!
And Noel is his wacky old self on The Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.
He gets all the kids excited, and laughing histerically as always.
Anyhow, I hope you consider this product,I've been a serious PP&M fan since 1984 and so I ought to know a good PP&M documentary when I see one.....THIS HAS OODLES AND OODLES OF COMMENTARY BY MANY PEOPLE including Pete Seeger, Phil Ramone,Tom Paxton, Ronnie Gilbert (of The Weavers.) Bob DeCormier (their director), as well as by PP&M THEMSELVES.
And that makes this very good indeed. Trust me.
