"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.
