Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

motionpicturevideo Like most Americans, I grew up hearing the music of Fleetwood Mac from "Rumors" on. I thought that Fleetwood and McVie started the band because their names are right in the title. Before the Internet, the only way to learn anything about your favorite band was to read something in a music magazine or newspaper, look at the album cover or listen to the music. Artists in the 60's and 70's had a more mythical quality due to, in part, the lack of information 'out there' about them. We didn't know every little detail about your favorite band's lives unless something big happened. To a large chunk of America, Peter Green was relatively unknown. The overwhelming bombardment of the 1976 Fleetwood Mac had overshadowed anything that came before "Rumors". The perception was THAT was the beginning of the band. The BBC's Peter Green: "Man of the World" reveals the real beginnings of one of Rock's biggest bands in the most honest way. Almost every key player in the early life of Fleetwood Mac is featured in very direct interviews. There is nothing fancy in this documentary. It is a straight forward story told by everyone who was there. The only missing players are fellow guitarist Eric Clapton and B.B. King, who both play a major role in Green's life. Most of the story is told by Peter Green himself. He comes across as a modest, yet talented artist, who tells his story in a low-key very real way. Most of the early members of the Mac also contribute engaging stories that gives a new understanding to the founder of Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green: "Man of the World" is an emotional reveal like very few Rock documentaries have achieved before. This documentary will stick with you and make you think about your own life thanks to the heart of it all, Peter Green's music.It will also give you a truthful understanding of a unique under appreciated artist. The great music, the demons, the regrets…they're all here in a captivating package.

guyau-399-68372 This wonderful documentary on one of the all-time guitar greats also highlights what a great song writer and vocalist Peter Green was, and the tragedy of mental illness that cut him down in his prime. It features lots of footage of Green and Fleetwood Mac, intercut with interviews by band members Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer, as well as Green himself. Carlos Santana, Noel Gallagher, John Mayall and other industry insiders attest to Green's greatness and provide fascinating on-the-spot accounts of the times.I saw Peter Green play live just a few years ago, when he was a shadow of his former self, but this documentary shows what all the fuss was about - his soulful understated guitar phrasing, the unique musical style he developed, and his classic songs like Black Magic Woman, Albatross and Oh Well.

tandrei2001 "and I've playin'... yeah I've playin'..." this is how it starts. First of all this is a documentary on a much underrated musician that had significant influence on many other bands and musicians. I won't talk here about the musician and his music, but about the film itself. Although it can't be considered a "masterpiece", it succeeds to render emotions in the viewer and raise interest on this lost gem. There are no "actors" in this documentary, but former or actual members of legendary group Fleetwood Mac and other musicians to pay tribute to this man, considered by many to be a genius. For me, I must admit I was a fan before I watched it, it was very nice experience to learn more about the man, his life and most of all his struggle with drugs and their psychotic effects and most of all his recovery and return to music. The music is of course beautiful as the master plays it himself:) and it deserves to be watched even for enhancing your musical horizon. To convince the sceptical, the great Santana said about Peter Green (approx. quote from memory): even if he would only wrote "Black Magic Woman" he would be remember in the music history as great.
