Undescribable Perfection

One of my all time favorites.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I think it's not really a secret that you have to be really a fan to get this. Because most of the movie is other people (mostly private persons) talking about what Bruce means to them, how they cherish him and how they show it to others. Little anecdotes of course come up all the time and some people are even featured a couple of times throughout the movie and most do the describe in 3 words "game".All that gets "interrupted" by performances by Bruce from time to time. This is kind of refreshing and you get to hear what you love too. But this isn't a concert nor is it about Bruce in a sense. But about the impact he had and still has of course on many people. Not every-ones cup of tea, but with a title like that, it should be clear, if this is something you want to spend time on or not

As a big Boss music fan, especially of his earlier stuff, I was looking forwards to seeing this film. I thought it had some great moments and I really enjoyed hearing stories from a variety of people who, like me have really felt a deep sense of connection from the music of Bruce Springsteen. Great stories, great concert footage, really glad I did not miss it. Perhaps it could have been edited better or something in places and I also felt it was also a little bit creepy at some points. But overall it was touching and well worth watching and great for anybody who wants to experience the excitement of the Boss concerts, but never did before. Overall there are many classic tales over the years, and it's an amazing insight into the devotion of Bruce's loyal fan base.

I was just wondering.. Will there ever be a Springsteen & I Part 2?? I Loved It! Want to see more! I have a great Springsteen Story & I feel like I missed the boat! I actually got to kiss him in the front row of the Boston Garden in 1990! There's so much more to the story too! I went the night before & got thrown out because the security guard said I mauled Bruce which is very untrue! I'm a 100 pounds & definitely not the mauling type! LOL! I did get to touch him while he was being lifted threw the crowd as a matter of fact I have a copy of the National Enquirer with Bruce on the front page & you can see me reaching out to him! After getting thrown out my older brother left with me so I wouldn't be alone on the streets of Boston, the next day a popular Boston radio station WBCN was giving away front row tickets to the show the following night! You had to be the 52nd caller & guess the title of the song the they played a bit of..! & Guess what it was me! & the song was I'm a Rocker! I won & Was in the front row with the Brother that left with me the night before & Bruce helped me up on the chair & proceeded to kiss me on the lips! Greatest night of my life not to mention at the end of the show, he gave me his Santa hat after performing Santa Claus is Coming to Town! The Radio Station told my whole story on the radio the next day.. Just Awesome! Had to share! & If there is another Springsteen & I, I want In, I still have the Santa Hat, The tape of the station telling my story & the cut out of the National Enquirer! That's All! Had to get that out! Thanks for reading! :)

Wow! I haven't had this good a time at the movies for some time. Usually when I post reviews I mull things over for quite a while but I wanted to put my two cents in while this is ultra fresh. What a great tribute to The Boss. The people who live, breathe and identify with Springsteen's music get the spotlight and showcase in the best possible way why we, the fans, like the man so much. The stories they tell range from funny to really touching to downright hilarious on occasion. The way Springsteen connects with his audience is really special and it's displayed through some well chosen clips from relatively recent shows. The rare footage from live shows from way back-when is also a real treat for the die-hard fans. I identified with a lot of the people and most likely every viewer will find something they related to as well. I'm a Springsteen nut so, to me, this was a perfect night at the movies. 10 out of 10. As an added bonus there was a six song show/compilation from the Hyde Park concert last year (knockout performances of "Shackled and Drawn" and "We are Alive") that concluded with the Beatles songs "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout" with Paul McCartney. Seeing it in a theater with the sound yanked up way high is the next best thing to actually being at a Springsteen concert. And that "Epilogue" was fun too. Seeing those fans meet the man and how gracious Springsteen seems to be; well it was a great ending to a fantastic film and show. If anyone has ever wondered what the big deal with Springsteen is...well; "Springsteen and I" is the response I would give.
