George Harrison Living In The Material World Blu Ray Torrent

I'm not to much bothered about music documentaries as I find they go over a lot of the same stuff you already know from years of clips and articles but Scorsese's take on the life of George Harrison is a whole different ball game. It's basically in two parts covering his time in The Beatles then shifting over to his days as a solo artist and the second half is where I think Scorsese really digs deep in the life of my favorite Beatle. Music aside it was the spiritual side of George which Scorsese delves into to find out what he was searching for and how it affected him in his later days dealing with life after The Beatles. Its a fantastic piece of work which is a must see for all Beatles fan's, i'd like to see similar treatment for the other three members as it would be a beautiful set. As far as the Blu-Ray goes theirs very little extras with some additional interview footage but really when you think about it the whole documentary is the extra, its what you would expect to see if someone had made a biopic on the life of George and someone had made a feature like this to go on a 2nd disc.

When it comes to the Beatles or ex-Beatles products, no-one can please everybody, whether it's on CD, in print or on film. Unless this DVD were 10 hours long and featured the entire interviews with all the key people, thoroughly covered all aspects of his unique life and included all available unreleased film, it couldn't hope to please everyone. Indeed, for some people who are merely interested but not fanatics, it might even be seen as too long. If you've read most Beatles related books, have all the albums and own `Anthology', there won't be that much fresh stuff in the film. There are some new interviews, such as those with Klaus Voormann and Olivia, which shed some new light on George the person, but overall, most of it's been heard or seen before. You'll probably find more interesting material on Youtube.

The film reminds me of the 1973 `Film About Jimi Hendrix' in that it's a collection of film and music clips, interviews and photos which provide a good `rockumentary' rather than a satisfying film experience; and, sadly, its subject is no longer with us. Reviewing this DVD presents somewhat of a challenge: * assuming purchasers are George Harrison fans, is there sufficient quality and quality of footage to present the story of his life (no). For example, far too much of the film is devoted to George Beatle; * as a film, does it hang together and flow (no). I'm not to much bothered about music documentaries as I find they go over a lot of the same stuff you already know from years of clips and articles but Scorsese's take on the life of George Harrison is a whole different ball game.

I just finished watching this on cable over the span of the last two days, parts 1 and 2, but as far as I'm concerned they could have run the entire documentary in one day, and I would have sat through the entire 5-hour uminterrupted run. A nicely done biography courtesy of Martin Scorsese on the life, music, and personality of 'the quiet Beatle.' Although some of the editing was a bit choppy on some of the musical footage, I found the biography to be a fascinating look into a performer I didn't really know about as much as I thought I did. One thing you come away with is that George, in his aspiration to spread love, was greatly loved in return by friends and family for a lot of obvious reasons.

What was really nice to see is that he was accepted with his moody side as well, something lots of people look at in others first, disregarding the rest. Of all the people interviewed for commentary, the most inciteful ones seemed to be Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, and wife Olivia.

George's religious philosophy and world views may not necessarily be eye to eye with your own, but anyone who is trying to make a difference in the lives of the lesser off and is a true advocate for positive change is a good icon for the world at large. Apparently the quiet Beatle had a gift for reaching out and opening people's minds at a one-on-one level, though not good at delivering speeches in front of thousands. He was obviously very personable, candid, and passionate about the things that he believed in. That passion--or any--can make an orator out of a mute. Funny how one of the most telling things about him was his eyes! You can see the depths of his emotions constantly, and maybe the weight of the world was something he placed too firmly on his own shoulders. You would be moody too!

In contrast, we see he had a very playful side, loved mischief, and got simple joy out of colors, flowers, and close friendships. Unfortunately, the mischief veered into unfortunate territory for the main women in his life, and Olivia makes it plain in what she says about him--or, rather, what she DOESN'T say. 'The key to a long marriage.Don't get divorced,' speaks volumes on her thoughts about his quirks and aberrant behavior. She was trying to be graceful without giving details, but not too many people appreciate infidelity. Was he a good husband?

Well, it's very obvious she loved him, which covers up a multitude of foibles. Was he a good father? It certainly looked like it to me, because Dhani seems to be a good kid, and boy, he sure looks a lot like his dad! Was he a good friend?

Was he a great spiritualist? He tried his hardest with lots of success. Was he a great musician? Ringing affirmative! Moments that stand out in the film: George standing protectively by John's side after Stu Sutcliffe passed away while Astrid shot their photos.

George laughing and singing along to 'This Boy' while viewing an old Beatle performance. Eric Clapton's recounting the entire Patty Boyd situation. The wonderful footage of that huge, sprawling mansion.

All the interviews with Tom Petty, from the funny ukelele story to his recounting of George's post Orbison death comment: 'Aren't you glad it's not you?' Well, at least he was bold enough to say what most people are thinking anyway. The music footage, of course, and getting to see nearly everyone who was anybody in it!

The most touching part for me was after that lunatic broke into the estate, nearly killing George and Olivia, forcing them to have to fight back. The results of the attack seemed to bring out the best thing for George in his preparation for death: closure. His telling Olivia that he finally figured out he really had to let go of all his bitterness and be more forgiving made me want to take stock in the way I've been conducting my own life, and maybe it's time to be more spiritual myself. No matter what your faith is, forgiveness can do wonderful things--well, I've generally seen it in other people. To sum it up, this was an excellent account of George's life because it didn't put him on a sugary pedestal.

It was brutally and delightfully honest, portraying the man as a multi-talented, intelligent, loving, spiritual human being with flaws like anyone else. His major goal toward the end of his life was to be more and more God conscious. In closing, all I can say is bless you, George.

Knowing Martin Scorsese's track record with music documentaries about The Band in 'The Last Waltz' and the Rolling Stones 'Shine A Light,' it's no wonder 'Living in the Material World' is a well done, thoughtful review of the life of 'The Quiet Beatle.' But it is also so much more than just that. You will absolutely learn more than you thought you knew about George Harrison. Surely The Beatles and their respective members have been chronicled extensively in several mediums from books, television, films, radio and a huge catalogue of YouTube programs and videos.

The coverage of the history of the Liverpool band is staggering. And that's why LITMW is such a joy to watch. You learn about George's extraordinary life through the voices of his many close friends like surviving Beatle band mates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Beatle's producer George Martin, close friend legendary guitarist Eric Clapton, Eric Idle, Jackie Stewart, Tom Petty, Ravi Shankar, Ray Cooper, Terry Gilliam, Yoko Ono, and many others including his brothers Harry and Pete, ex-wife Patty Boyd and his son Dhani and widow Olivia. They paint a picture of a man far more talented, powerful, spiritual, and accomplished then some might give George credit. And yet the endearing quality about all the reminiscences by his friends and family is how vitally important and good having George was in all their lives and the profound impact he had on all his family and friends. In the end, we get a more complete, more endearing, more human portrait of George than we have ever seen before. And a look inside what drove the man and his massive talent, whether it was music, films, gardening, racing cars, or the spiritual journey he took from being an icon of popular music to being a man at one with God.

It chronicles his search for the spiritual understanding of the purpose of his life and the sometimes elusive peace of mind he sought for himself and the world around him. A brilliant, warm, touching, humorous, engaging and all together entertaining presentation worthy of Martin Scorsese's unparalleled ability as a unique storyteller. Disclaimer: I'm one of the worlds biggest Beatles fans so I'm biased. But I especially think younger music lovers should do themselves a favor and learn more about one of the most influential guitarists that ever lived. Texas Drivers License Template Photoshop.

IMO he was a much better person than a musician. Being a Scorcese film, the production quality is top notch. With the volume pushed past 75db you will definitely experience both the genius of George Martin and Phil Spector's wall of sound. This man's journey is inspirational, interesting, and very human. You don't have to be a Krishna follower or Beatle fanatic to appreciate this documentary.

For those who believe the music produced today is far superior to that made in the 60s/70s.prepare to have your theory blown away! From Yeah, Yeah, Yeah to Wah-wah, to the Wilburys.40 plus years of musical genius! A brilliant follow-up to the director's No Direction Home, Living In the Material World does not shy away from any of the controversial elements of Harrison's life. I wish there was a five disc director's cut because I was fully prepared to spend more time with many of the sequences here. The interviews with Olivia were very powerful and Patty Boyd's contribution was enlightening too. George Harrison was a fixture in my life.

He lead me into interests I never thought I had and I probably learned more about life from his example than I did from any of the other Beatles although consciously John was my favorite. This film added greatly to the information I had about George. It reveals him through his own comments and interviews as well as through the interviews of those people who knew him well. This is easily among the best and most complete video biographies ever produced. Great Documentary on the life of George Harrison.

Scorsese helms this documentary, his affinity for music makes this a great documentary to watch with your sound system turned on and up. It follows his whole life giving a fine time to the beatles area and also his life afterwards. The film runs around 5 hours. Scorsese really digs in to try and find out who George Harrison really was and the actions he filled his life with. This is a great documentary to watch or even put on in the background, I've made several fans out of friends who were drawn to the music and stories as I let the movie show while entertaining guests.

'George Harrison' (2011) documentary it the best 'trip' back to the 1960's era mentality Harrison never abandoned! See it and you'll experience 'the 60's'.the noblest era of modern times! See this noble documentary by Marin Scorcese!

It will take you back to the fabled '1960's' and everybody needs to re-visit those times, including people like me who remember it well, and also people never part of it, or who were there but left it when the calendar changed and 'modern times' after the '60's' started up and continued to the present (2012). The famous movie titled 'My Dinner With Andre' (1981) asked the important question 'What if the '60's were the best years ever to have happened, and it's been all down hill after that?' Worth thinking about! The '60's' were a highlight in human history of great importance, a benchmark of cultural and human excellence. They somehow got disappeared, and more to the sad point, never properly or adequately explained or communicated after the times changed, and glory of the '60's died. George Harrison was an icon of the 1960's, and his life after the '60's was devoted to ideals part of the high water mark times of the '60's.and we see his important life in this wonderful documentary movie.created in 2011 by Martin Scorcese.

Scorcese attended NYU Film School in the mid-1960's and was a senior camera crew tech guy for the 'Woodstock' (1969) documentary when Scorcese was still in his 20's. He was there for all of it, and never forgot it. 'George Harrison: Living In The Material World' (2011) is a memorial to the whole decade as well as to Mr. Harrison who was and is a remarkably representative person part of the 1960's. You had to be there to understand it, and remember it.

No adequate documentary or other cinema art work effort ever came near to communicating what the 1960's were all about, why they were so important, and truly different than times before or since.not until this documentary. See it, and you'll see the 1960's ideals and way of life, mentality.so important and beautiful and worth preserving and studying. The 1960's were more than 'flower power' and 'social protest' times and events.those years, for some people, were a way of life never to be forgotten or abandoned. Yet, they are hard to describe.memories supported by visual and sound images need to be presented about the 1960's. This documentary is the very best effort doing that.succeeds as no other documentary about those times has ever done, to my thinking.

You'll 'feel' the 1960's.if you screen this documentary movie.and that's a worthwhile experience.one worth repeating often until you 'get the point' and then start working to bring it back.somehow. ----------------- Written by Tex Allen, SAG actor. I love the Beatles and I especially love George Harrison.

From my perspective, as a guitarist Harrison has always been underrated. The movie for me was as if you were watching the evolution of Harrison from being caught up in being part of the Beatles where they all seemed to be just taken along for the ride. They just seemed to follow things where those things took them. He then goes into his next phase where he was trying to find himself as an individual and as a musician. What comes across is Harrison's love of music and wanting to play music.

What comes across is his desire to simply get together with others to CREATE. About this same time, it goes into Harrison's search for life. I thought that this was all handled very well. To me, it seemed more as if they were simply reporting it as part of him as opposed to getting preachy about the effect all of this was having on him and his life. About the same way they would have reported that he had decided to get a tattoo. I don't know if it's true, or simply my interpretation, but some of the parts discussing the break up of the Beatles seemed to focus on Harrison simply getting to the point where he felt that he was no longer developing as a musician. He was being dragged along by primarily Paul McCartney and simply asking Paul, 'What do you want me to do musically here?'

There's not a lot of focus on that part of his life. If you appreciate movies about musicians and their real lives.

I think you'll find this interesting.
