Movie Reviews of The Clash: Rude Boy
Movie Review: about bleed'in time this came out!
Summary: 5 Stars
For some of us unfortunates, this was our first exposure to the awesome fire power of the Clash live.The movie isnt to bad either,Ray Grange plays a lazy drunk with right wing leanings trying to catch a ride on the rockin roller coaster.The Clash wise up and give him the boot.Of course the reason to own this is all the live and studio tracks, and the sound track has been upgraded and sounds great{even in 5.1 surround}.Includes 2 live tracks previously unreleased and extended scenes.Did i mention Interviews with Johnny Green,Ray Grange etc.Plus 2 live tracks from British television.P.S. Buy Lets Rock Again today].God bless JS!Movie Review: A Brief History of an Era
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this film in 1980 and not again until now, 28 years later. I loved it! The concert footage is fantastic and there is a lot more of it than I remembered. What struck me was the accurate rendition of 1970s Britain, mostly forgotten nowadays. Young people today have no idea of how easy things have been for them in their lives, in comparison to the youth of that era. Watching the film puts the songs of The Clash into perspective. If you are a Clash fan, or just curious about this time, this is a must-have film for your collection!Movie Review: 4 Stars for the Clash footage alone...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm writing this review more as a response to an earlier review, that I felt was inaccurate. I felt compelled to clarify, especially as someone who's seen the movie more recently than the 1980's. I did not buy the movie (but rather chose to rent it) based on the claim there was "only 15-20 minutes of Clash footage and therefore it was not worth the price of the movie" First off, the movie IS worth the price because of the Clash footage alone, EVEN in this age of YouTube. There is a beautiful, moving scene with Mick Jones singing "Stay Free". He's in the studio, wearing headphones, and all you hear is his cracking voice. (a similar scene with Joe as well) and scenes of Joe Strummer singing at the piano, alone, as well as amazing live Clash footage. Lots of it. The movie isn't great, it's a bit depressing in spots, a bit of a mess, really, but the Clash footage came around often enough, and hung around long enough and was amazing enough, to make me want to go out and get the DVD afterall. And if you're a Clash fan, then I can't see you being disappointed with the footage either.Movie Review: Watch it as a documentary...
Summary: 4 Stars
...if you watch this as a movie, you'll be disappointed as it's not strong that way. The concert footage is excellent however and totally captures the feel of the Clash at that point in their career. It also provides a nice snapshot of their personalities and growth as a band (even during the course of the film). It's not bad either at giving you a feel for just how messed the UK was at the time and makes it easier to understand how the Brits (in their desperation for change) elected Thatcher. All in all, good not great, but definitely worth watching!Movie Review: only ok
Summary: 3 Stars
It is ok , there is some good footage of the Clash early on , touring, but the rest is kinda pointless. Ray G's character is annoying and the side story of blacks pickpocketing,, What is the point? the Clash did alot to address race issues without that little side show. Watch it for the Clash footage only.
