CSNY Déjà Vu

Part music, part documentary, and YES very one sided. If you watched it, Neil said it himself, "we got you to think". Love it or hate it it stimulated your brain to open up and THINK. Don't just sit under a rock and quietly go about your life, let your voice be heard. If your an American use your freedom of speech to shout your opinion from the rooftops. Whatever that opinion is, it's worth expressing. On a side note, if you have followed C,S,N, and sometimes Y would you expect any less from them. Love e'm or hate e'm they always seem to evoke emotion from the public.

in this movie there is someone who says something like " they got some nerve to say they support the troops then they go ahead and sing all these songs against the war" or something like that well to her i say how dare you these people along with me support the people fighting the war not the war its self this movie is really great you you really should watch it

Thank's iTunes for putting this up! This is an amazing documentary. I would love to see iTunes put the greatest music movie up ever: Woodstock! I don't know why you haven't done it yet but please do it iTunes! Click yes if you agree!

This movie, one of the most profoundly moving I've ever seen, accomplishes everything a good war documentary should: great music, provocative, yet approporiate visuals and lyrics, as well as stirring interviews all add to the collective message of the film. Neil Young has made another winner, and although some may claim that its genre is a misnomer, I would argue that any good "concert movie" should have a theme, some rallying phrase or idea that resonates with the audience, and that a war documentary by definition embodies these traits and thus qualifies as a concert movie, so long as the music is great (as it clearly is). A must watch!

I have been loving Neil Young for 30 years and this is an OK movie for what it is. However, I was expecting a concert movie. This movie is _about_ a concert. There is way more talking than any other concert film I have seen and not even any complete songs. Maybe there is a companion movie that actually has the music?

This movie illustrates CSNY's ability to come to the forefront of political protest once again. As with Military Madness by Graham Nash and Ohio by Neil, among others, these guys have always been politically pertinent. Thank goodness they're doing it!! No other acclaimed artists have risked their reputations for the good of our country like CSNY. My eyes watered while watching this... for the vets represented, for CSNY's belief in change, and for the few closed minded individuals that walked out of concerts when Bush's impeachment was called for through song. It boggles my mind that people can be that blind or brainwashed. At any rate, this is a well done documentary. If you buy it or rent it, make sure you share with your friends. I think everyone needs to see this!

Shut up and sing? This is America and anybody can have whatever opinion they want and to tell someone to not express whatever they feel through music is unpatriotic. I don't care what the message is, that's what music is suppose to be about. If you don't like it then don't listen, I'm sure there is somebody out there that shares your views and has a few albums to back them up with.

I love CSN&Y. "4 Way Street" was one of the first LPs I bought as a young teenager in the early 70s. I really didn't care about the politics, just the music. But the Vietnam era couldn't be more different from the world we live in today. One can still argue the merits of the Vietnam Conflict, but the FACT is the young men who fought in it were mostly draftees, who had no choice in the matter. And Communist North Vietnam had never attacked the U.S., nor had any intention of doing so. The U.S. was bound by treaty to support its ally, the Republic of South Vietnam, and that was the extent of the reason for U.S. involvement. In contrast, the Saddam regime had supported, aided and abetted enemies of the U.S., who had targeted and killed U.S. citizens. Saddam harbored terrorists such as Abu Abbas and many others, who had killed American citizens. Saddam had plotted the assassination of former President George H. W. Bush, and had fired on U.S. aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones in the north and south of the country. There were many, many provocations over a dozen years, and the U.S. involvement toppled that evil regime. I think the basis for this "political statement" in this concert is a farce. These are graying old men who seek to recapture the glory days of their youth, when what they did and said (they think) mattered. Of course, one can point out that the pressure to get the U.S. out of Vietnam resulted directly in the deaths of MILLIONS in Indochina, from the boat people to the killing fields of Cambodia to the boat people in the South China Sea. But they never own up to that responsibility. Why should we listen to them now? This is a decent performance, but I solemnly spit on the absurdity of its premise.
