I remember feeling my chest vibrate during this whole starting sequence in IMAX. It felt weirdly terrifying

Precisely my experience

I saw this twice in IMAX. Truely once in a lifetime experience. I like how they slowly eased the audience into introducing the man himself, it really built anticipation and made it all that more emotional when the movie finally let you see his face.

Best music movie I’ve ever seen

I agree. I need to get the Criterion Blu-Ray.

This intro was insanely well done the whole doc was fantastic! Bowie dying is one of the worst things to happen in this world

For the first time ever went to see this film twice when it was on at the cinema. It was that good. It was wonderful. It felt like you were there.

At that moment I realized - this is the perfect film about David Bowie. This movie is David Bowie. A dream come true for a cinematic magnum opus of his art and life. The director invented the best concept of all: to create an exciting, innovative film that pushes the boundaries of the genre, about an outstanding innovator who pushes the boundaries of ideas. Damn, after this movie, you feel like you've gone through an alien flashing, obsessed with creativity. It really is a Bowie experience. The first happiness in the last month for me was the de-occupation of my city. This movie is by far the best thing that has happened since. ❤️⚡

It was masterful. I even remember there was a second of footage from Fantasia (the famous scene with Mickey commanding the waves) at one point of the film.

LOVE THIS DOC

I like how "oi" is a way of saying hello in portuguese

my fav doc yet

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the film a few weeks ago, Adrian. I'll admit that I still have no idea why certain clips kept being repeated, such as the moon sequence, but I adored it anyway❤

@@AdrianMendoza23 maybe sequence is the wrong word for what I'm thinking of, but it was a bit where it panned across an artistic version of a moon(which might have had a face?), before transitioning to another part of the film.

Someone asked the director, Brett Morgen, that same question and he replied with a David Bowie quote that you can hear in the documentary: “There is no beginning, no middle, no end. Round and round.” Pretty brilliant.

I view it as all very metaphorical, the movie follow a subtle linear timeline yet still flashes the past and the future in order to showcase his life as something undefined. Those moon sequences from Blackstar were flashed every now and then as a kind of foreshadow to his death. But at the same time they started the movie with clips from it so it’s like “death is only the beginning” kind of thing. The whole film was an interpretive piece of art I love so so much

The film is amazing! Glad to experience it again here

A la vuelta del siglo 20, Friedrich Nietzche demostró que Dios estaba muerto y ese hombre lo había matado. Esto creó una arrogancia dentro del hombre de que él mismo era Dios. Pero como Dios, todo lo que parecía producir era un desastre. Eso llevó a una confusión aterradora: porque si no podíamos tomar la imagen de Dios, ¿cómo podríamos llenar el espacio que habíamos creado dentro de nosotros mismos?

Yep and not long after this start you'll be hearing a Pet Shop Boys remix of Halo Spaceboy, one of the most pedestrian sounding Bowie adaptations in the history of mankind

As a long time Bowie fan (since 1969) I was so terribly disappointed in this film. Supposedly Brett Morgen had 5 years of full access to David's personal archives and this is what he came up with? A mess of random images, mostly from commerically available films, videos, etc. was really a waste of film time. Those old cartoons, too many super fast flashing images did absolutely nothing to make this film better. I found myself actually looking at my watch about an hour into it...obviously if I enjoyed this film I would have never looked at my watch. The people behind this idea for a film should have allowed Nacho to do a film about David, it would have been a thousand times better than this fiasco. I have every DVD and CD that David ever released and I wouldn't spend one dollar on the DVD for this film...Terribly disappointed...
