Anvil: The Story of Anvil
I mentioned this in a post some while back when I read the book. The story is one of life-long friendship, sacrifice, heartache, pain, love, loss, tragi-comedy and unbelievable misfortune. Most of all its about never giving up on your dreams.
The move has inevitably been compared with Spinal Tap and Bad News, but the main difference for me is that Anvil were a real rock band for thirty years, played some of the biggest stadia in the world, inspired a generation of copy-cats who went on to make fortunes whilst these guys, via a series of accidents, bad decisions and basic bone-headed foolishness wound up in the one-and-nines looking on.
This film promises to be a classic; those who've seen it speak of laughter and tears. Its not only for hardened rockers but unbelievers too; a story of true love between friends who promised to rock together forever, who stood on the edge, looked down and held on even as they plunged into the abyss.
OK I'll stop now.
I urge you to see it (makes sign of the cuckold, bows head)
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
