It's A Mean Old World

By the time "It's A Mean Old World" was filmed, Reverend Pearly Brown had been struggling to survive singing gospel music for nearly 40 years. While the rough sound of his bottleneck playing has the feel of a life spent scuffling on the street, the poignancy of his voice is a better measure of the gentle spirit and inner strength of the man.

Toot Blues

In the late 1980s, Tim Duffy, a penniless North Carolina musicology student, became deeply involved in Winston-Salem's drinkhouse music scene, an off-the-grid hotbed of gritty traditional blues. He began the foundation after observing and living with the deep poverty of the Southern blues artists he befriended and championed.The foundation now helps hundreds of older Southern musicians with everything from financial assistance to tour support. The film travels back to the early artists that were the inspiration for Music Maker, and forward to the current artists carrying on the Southern roots tradition. The film features performances, archival and contemporary, of Music Maker artists on tour and in the studio, as well as interviews with the artists and Duffy on the foundation, music and the blues.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Well most of the cast of the film that shook the (movie) world is still back where they were when the movie was shot. Just because you are in a big movie, does not mean you made it. I had forgotten about Alice Braga I have to admit, but you can be surprised that some of the actors didn't make it bigger, since the movie was released.There are quite a few interesting interviews here and some behind the scenes footage (also casting videos and more). We get to see what some of the cast have been up to, and not all of them went good. You also have people who went criminal. The documentary shines a light on that too. I didn't research if the movie could have been more in depth. but for the running time, this is decent enough and interesting enough to watch. Especially if you were a fan of City of God (or even City of Men the TV show).

This documentary film tells the life stories of the cast members in the ten years after the screening of the widely acclaimed Brazilian film "City of God".What makes this documentary interesting is that we get to see how a lot of people's lives turn out. They converged years ago to shoot a film, and then their lives diverged drastically. They talk about their salaries of their filming, what happened to them in the years, and what life is like now. It is interesting to hear them talk about the rush of going to film festivals and then the following day they crash back down to their homes in the favelas. That is quite heartbreaking already, but to top that up, some cast members resort to the life of crime just to keep themselves afloat, and some even turn to drug gangs with rather unfortunate results. It is quite a heavy but powerful documentary.

This documentary is nice if you are curious about what happened to the cast. And between the stories you can see white privilege popping up. Sadly there is no clear story line, just interviews and footage stitched together in some sort of chronology. It's just an hour, yet the producers had a hard time gathering the interviews as there is much fluff and wasted time.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
