Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Blood Brothers
That's right. I'm so indie. My first Netfilx rental was a documentary. Actually it was by accident, and actually it was really really good.
The documentary takes place in the few days in 1995, when the E Street Band regrouped to release their Greatest Hits, and recorded Blood Brothers, Secret Garden, and made a music video for Murder Incorporated. Bruce Springsteen - what a cool guy. The whole E Street Band was just awesome. Max Weinberg was funny, Clarence Clemons was cool, Steve Van Zandt was ugly. The documentary was cut really well (this coming from one who doenst watch many documentaries.) What actually sold me was the video for Secret Garden they showed at the end. It was the video that came out before the song waws known - before Jerry Maguire. The video is just about women. It just shows many different women, doing different things, and it works perfectly.
As a testement to Blood Brother's coolness, my Boss-hating roommate was even pulled away from his video game by the end to watch the rest of the video with us. It was the perfect length, running at exactly 90 minutes, and began and ended very well. The segways into seperate sections worked well, and the lack of a narrator pulled most of the focus on Bruce Springsteen himself. My only negative critisism of the documentary is that I wish it had put more effort into being about the E Street Band, and not just about Bruce Springsteen. But alas! Such is the band.
