I liked it. I agree that it's best when the three of them are together. At the same time, I liked the diversions into the personal, particularly for Page and The Edge ... seeing where albums were recorded, classrooms where the band first practiced, a ledge where they first performed, that kind of thing. I'm conflicted about White. He's unfailingly interesting, but he almost needs his own film. In addition to the "Little Jack" oddity, he continues to imply -- without correction in the film -- that Meg is his sister, when in fact she isn't. Point is, he's constantly spinning is legend to the point where it's hard to take his word for anything. And once you reach that point, it's almost as if he goes from being unfailingly interesting to not interesting at all. As my contradiction here implies, I found myself looking at him both ways: Falling for the legend in one scene, doubting everything he said in the next, and deciding that in some way the combination of the two made him more interesting -- a puzzle to solve. But since we don't look at Page or Edge that way, perhaps it would have been better to go with some other younger guitarist.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.com
