Anvil! The Story of Anvil


   

 For this week, I watched the documentary film, “Anvil! The Story of Anvil”. This is actually one of my favorite movies so I have watched this movie several times. This film is about the unsuccessful Canadian heavy metal band, Anvil and directed by screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.



   The film starts by listing the headlining acts of the Super Rock festival in Saitama, Japan in 1984: Scorpions, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi all of whom have gone on to sell millions of records, except one, Anvil. In spite of their ambition, the Canadian band was unable to get the same level of success. This film focuses on their current life and documenting how they are struggling to make their dream come true. 


 
    I really like this film because the film asks audience that what does happiness mean. As a band, Anvil is not successful but they have family and friends who support them and they are still dreaming to make the band bigger. This film has a lot of Love.
