Side by Side (2012)

A Great Documentary For Movie Fans
17 June 2013
Review: This documentary is for all of the movies fans that want a deep insight into the history of the movie format change throughout the years. Keanu Reeves chats with some of the biggest directors, producers etc. which excludes George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and the man that can't seem to do anything wrong, James Cameron. I definitely learnt a lot from this film about the digital format and how it changed the how movie world. People don't really think about how far we have come when it comes to movies because we just want to see a good movie, regardless how it comes to the big screen. This film will shock you when you hear about the preparation and fine detail that the directors and the rest of the crew have to go through just to entertain us. Educational!

Round-Up: One of the great things about this double DVD set is that you actually get to see the full interviews with all of the amazing movie makers. I did get a bit lost with some of the interviews because I didn't know what he hell they were talking about, with all of there movie jargon, but by the time that you come to the end of the film, you feel like your right in there with the professionals. Keanu Reeves seemed a bit out there, but I don't think that the film makers would have felt comfortable chatting to someone who didn't know what they were talking about. I'm not usually one for documentaries, but this has opened my mind.

Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: N/A

I recommend this movie to all film lovers that want a deep look into the history of movie making. 7/10
