Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was initially looking forward to the release of this DVD documentary simply because the Bouncing Souls are a great band made of of motivated, friendly individuals who make great music and have always chosen to stray from the mainstream. What I ended up watching was a band documentary of quality matched only by Scorsese's The Last Waltz.
This is no exaggeration. The "Rockums" are two guys who with a lot of determination, some video equipment, and a cracked copy of Final Cut, set out to sort through the hundreds of video tapes documented by lead singer Greg and conducted extensive interviews with not only the band, but the entire extended family of people who witnessed their history and rise to the incredible band they are.
"Do You Remember" not only allows the dynamic personalities of the Bouncing Souls and their crew to shine through in their interviews, but also SHOWS the band's evolution and oftentimes hilarious biography through the massive amounts of footage the band itself documented throughout their 15+ year history.
The documentarians did an incredible job of sifting through the massive amount of footage and came up with a neatly flowing, dynamic, emotional, and above all FUN narrative. While watching this, I forgot I was watching a documentary. In many ways it felt like an action/comedy; hilarious and action-packed at times, somber and dramatic at others.
In many ways, I feel this DVD could be enjoyed more by someone who knows nothing about the Bouncing Souls. They are undisputably charming individuals who are the same off-camera as on. This comes through beautifully in the documentary.
In addition to the Documentary is all their music videos, extra scenes, and an entire 2nd DVD containing 50 live songs played at different times in the Souls' career, all over the world.
I cannot recommend this enough. For fans of the Bouncing Souls, it's a must have. For those who aren't, it's still an incredible documentary, containing a compelling story that is universally appealing.
