Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

fog-9 the first time i saw meeting people, i felt it was horribly pretentious and far too short on musical content... the opening seemed to take forever and i felt like screaming "i get it! you guys do lots of interviews!"...since i'd bought a copy and there were some great live performances (and i was trying to get everyone i knew to watch it), i saw it a few more times and the importance of it all sunk in... this documentary is meant to watched with a very clear link in your mind to the album they were promoting at the time (namely OK computer)... the themes and style of the video mesh very well with the music, creating a sort of visual accompaniment...it's actually a pretty honest take on a band that has a very difficult lead singer/songwriter, it shows how touring can affect a group (especially one that probably craved fame but cannot handle it, that have tasted it and would like to retreat back into making music without pressure)...and it's got some great live footage with a fabulous soundtrack...one thing that got annoying were the repeated plays of "creep", although i suppose that was to make a point... the reactions to the band from various producers, journalists, stage technicians and the public were hilarious...see the modern world in a new way, see men lost in a chrome sea, read the underlying messages about the music industry, feel the frustration of the creative process... this is a seemingly random and meaningless documentary that shapes up in strange ways, and imparts far more than you would think at first glance...

studhead182 Yes I indeed enjoyed this movie...I only bought this for one reason...RADIOHEAD! Probably one of the greastest bands of all time and my favorite. This movie actually got me to know how Radiohead is when there not recording music and selling records.

fahfooh I'm not going to tell you that if you don't know who RadioHead are, or if you don't like them, that you should watch this. If I weren't a fan (or if I lived so deep inside a cave I'd never heard of them), I would have gone crazy trying to wrap my head around this movie.However, since I am a huge fan, I absolutely loved this video. Artfully done, it has more crammed into it than I would have thought possible. The Irony, the Agony, the Frustration, the Fans, the Good Times, the (never-ending) Interviews; and of course the vicarious thrill you get from this rare look into the real back-stage life of a serious rock-n-roll band.This is not an up-lifting film. It makes you glad you never seriously pursued a career in the popular music industry.

Wingo9 "Meeting People Is Easy" is an amazing, groundbreaking work. This is not merely a concert video, nor is it, consciously, a short film. It is a visually stunning, aurally exciting piece that twists your head around in wonderful ways.Don't judge "Meeting People Is Easy" based on whether or not you like the Radiohead that you hear on the radio; nothing could be further from relevant when regarding this film. The concert footage, in conjunction with the searing visual pyrotechnics, brings to light the product of a band of rare quality, skill, and creativeness. Each bandmember is given a moment in the spotlight to show off their individual talents, and the process as a whole is, well, breathtaking.Several people that I know, some Radiohead fans, some not, have attempted to watch the DVD but not been able to finish it. This, almost invariably, comes not from disinterest or disgust, but rather from the overwhelming emotional roller coaster the film progresses along. This can be an exhausting work to take in. If you feel ready to be challenged, however, and, (especially) if you love Radiohead, this DVD is absolutely essential.
