About this movie

Called the greatest rock film ever made, this landmark documentary follows the Rolling Stones on their notorious 1969 U.S. tour. When three hundred thousand members of the Love Generation collided with a few dozen Hells Angels at San Francisco’s Altamont Speedway, Direct Cinema pioneers David and Albert Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin were there to immortalize on film the bloody slash that transformed a decade’s dreams into disillusionment.

Prefect music. But basically the hells angels parked their bikes in the middle of a rock concert and of course people bumped them so they got mad. Not as big deal as it was made out to be. It's like if they let children play with glass and they got cut, then called it the end on innocence. More like the decline of stupidity at rock converts.

The worst music ever perpetrated against the world. Mick Jagger strutting across the stage because he cannot dance and looks like a drunken sailor is pathetic. Eight kids with six different women or something. Loser lead and loser band and horrible music. If "Satisfaction" is considered great music then God help us all.

Why would ANYONE watch this movie that CAN'T STAND Mick Jagger or The Stones ? It's clear to me that when a person is ok with themselves ; they feel no NEED to knock anyone else down.When they do; it's because they feel life treating them as a victim and lashing out is symptomatic of same. Word to the wise ; when we suppress who we are as a person, it always comes seeping out through the cracks in inappropriate ways . It SHOWS. Hurt people , hurt people.
