Ramones - End of the Century
Best documentary made about the band, telling 'The Story of the Ramones'.It has plenty of in-concert performances but is most interesting for the extensive and cross-cutting interviews with band members, managers, and people from other bands, most notably, the late Joe Strummer of Clash. Stepping out from those stock bowl haircuts and black uniforms, the Ramones get in End a portrait that celebrates their individuality, their determination and their warts (Joey’s inability to forgive, Johnny's often martinet leadership, DeeDee's willingness to abuse his body in every way imaginable — and I would guess some unimaginable). Along with the music, what comes through so strongly is their love for the group, if not for each other, and their work ethic -- in all their years they missed only one concert for band misbehavior and Johnny fired Marky over it. See my other blog for subs in English, French, German, Portuguese & Spanish.
