Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)

Anvil! The Story of Anvil
Grade: A- (Watch it)
Review: A brilliant documentary about two Canadian headbangers, whose band was at the top of the world for 15 mins. The movie characters are hilarious, heartbreaking, naïve, inspiring, pathetic, likable – just normal people who tasted fame and lost it. It is an amazing insight into a human dream, and the perpetual drive to not let it go. Just as interesting as is the story of main characters; is the impact on their families. What makes one succeed vs. someone else with equal skills is as much hard work as much luck (random). It is ironic that even the movie about these “losers” didn’t make much money either.
