beejeezee Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Driving home from seeing Broadway Idiot. It was so amazing I honestly have no idea how to even comprehend what I just saw. If nothing else, seeing the documentary only made me love the band and ,mostly, Billie Joe even more than I already did. Which I honestly didn't even think was possible.
Mar Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 We missed the first 10 minutes or so due to traffic (Ohio State and their homecoming fucked us so hardcore), but I enjoyed what I did see. I'm glad we saw it in a theater (we traveled two to three hours to see it in theaters ) because goddamn, the sound was awesome and it helped make the scenes powerful. I enjoyed Michael's enthusiasm for the project and the band, and Billie is just so awkward and ridiculous, it was sweet to watch his reactions. The cast seemed so fun, too. I thought the ending was awkward (and by "awkward," I mean there wasn't an obvious ending, it just cut to the credits like that); that was probably my biggest complaint. Oh, and if anyone cares, Billie said "yknow" at least 33 times.
desertrose Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 That’s the brilliance of this upbeat documentary. It makes you pay attention to the lyrics of Green Day’s songs. Armstrong is one humble and down-to-earth musician. He’s a likable soul that is not afraid to tell it like it is. He understands that some criticize his punk band for winning Grammy awards but at the end of the day, he and Green Day earned everything they have achieved in the music industry. http://www.examiner.com/review/broadway-idiot-documentary-review
Ryan Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Saw it in theaters last night and absolutely loved it! Ended up in tears three times and I have no idea why. There were just some moments/scenes that were so powerful that they just triggered that emotional reaction in me. It was incredibly well done and gave great insight into everything involved with putting on a Broadway show. One of my favorite scenes was when Billie, Michael Mayer, and Tom Kitt were just sitting around the piano talking about music. Tom makes the connection between classic Broadway music and the styke that Billie writes in. It was all just very insightful and amazingly awesome.
Moriarty Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Yes it was all very nice. Now let me try and blow all your minds here a little bit: Did anybody else notice that when they were all sitting around the piano (Billie, Michael and Tom), that Billie was wearing a Trilogy-era coat, complete with X's on? Despite that this was filmed before the trilogy was written? Anybody?
nothing_wrong_with_me Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Yes it was all very nice.

Despite that this was filmed before the trilogy was written? Anybody? Yes I noticed that too.. It's so weird, I actually have been thinking about it today and trying to find some explanation, maybe they met last summer again because they wanted to include some more scenes in the film? But he's wearing his trilogy clothes also in the scene where he explains to Michael Mayer who Jesus of suburbia is and that he wishes Whatsername had a name. That's really weird that he would explain it to him in 2012 when Michael obviously knows everything about it already and the musical was done long ago.. But I don't know, it's a little weird.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Do you guys have pictures? I never noticed that!
Mar Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me if some of it was filmed after the fact, but I assume that about every documentary
tdlyon Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Maybe he was just already wearing clothes like that...?
Penguin Puffball Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 So what exactly is this? Is it another play or a movie or what? [/badfan]
Karl Karlson Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 So what exactly is this? Is it another play or a movie or what? [/badfan] "Broadway Idiot" is a documentary about "Amerian Idiot: The Musical". It shows the start (Oakland) and as it goes on Broadway (also some footage of BJ as St. Jimmy). It mostly shows backstage stuff/the production of the musical. It's worth watching, if you like Billie Joe and/or the musical
Hermione Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 So is there a way non North American people can see this yet? I'm out of the loop.
Stefano Bras Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 So is there a way non North American people can see this yet? I'm out of the loop. There is a Link of Download somewhere on Facebook, I let you the research
Hermione Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 There is a Link of Download somewhere on Facebook, I let you the research Ahh I see, thanks. I was wondering if there was an official way of getting it yet, looks like I'll be finding it an unofficial way then
