Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re Starting with the band's origins in Forest Hills, Queens, END OF THE CENTURY: THE STORY OF THE RAMONES gives a fascinating background portrait of the eccentric group of individuals who came together to be one of the most influential punk bands in history. This documentary about the New York City renegades who made their mark in the mid-1970s with counterculture lyrics and underground performances at rundown joints like CBGB on the Bowery, shows how the band eventually earned recognition, even being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. But it is the insider look at the blue collar upbringing of the band members, and their desire to be part of Manhattan's burgeoning hard-rock scene, that is most endearing about this particular film. In candid interviews with Dee Dee Ramone, he tells stories about the group's total lack of complexity in its earliest days. Going to see contemporary acts like the New York Dolls and Iggy and the Stooges, the Ramones quickly created their own sound and practiced frenetically. When they finally made their debut with an extremely loud sound, furiously fast and short songs, and lots of drama such as blatant on-stage arguments, they practically scared away their fans. While other stars, like Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, comment on the Ramones' subsequent rise to punk stardom, providing wild stories about sex, drugs, chaos, and tragedy, it is the truly interesting story of the band's start that will linger in viewers' minds.

AUGUST 27 (EXPANDS) End Of The Century: The Story Of The Ramones Reviews: "[R]iveting....The final word on the strange birth, revolutionary genius and dysfunctional adulthood of the mother of all punk bands."
-- Mojo Staff, Mojo "[I]ts bitter emotionalism comes from a hopelessly bowl-cut band that was too legit to quit."
-- Peter Relic, Rolling Stone "[A] documentary that digs deep inside this most revolutionary and tortured of punk quartets..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "[A]bsorbing....[T]he music has lasted..."-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "[A]n engaging and emotional documentary..."-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "It's the most comprehensive and compelling overview yet of the Ramones' career."
-- Carol Clerk, Uncut "There is pathos in their story, and a kind of perverse dignity, but this level-headed film resists the impulse toward instructive moral fable."
-- Andrew O'Hehir, Sight and Sound
This is the only Jim Fields video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Michael Gramaglia.

The truth and nothin but the truth
After seeing this documentary, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I though I knew the "real" story of the this classic "punk" band, but I had another thing comming. This documentary is very much uncensored and highly recomended. If you don't know much about the personal lives of the the "ramones", hold on to your seats.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Hey Ho Great Show
This is a very good DVD. There is very little live footage, it's a true documentary. I am a life long Ramones fan and I learned a lot I didn't know from this disc. Very entertaining and worth the money.
