DVD
Publisher: Warner Bros / Wea
Format: Best of, Color, DVD-Video, Explicit Lyrics, Full Screen, Dolby, DTS Surround Sound, NTSC
Actors: R.E.M., REM
Timed to coincide with the CD collection In Time, presents 15 years of innovative videos from alternative pop pioneers R.E.M. Throughout the ups--the multi-platinum success of 1991's Out of Time--and downs--the abrupt 1997 departure of original drummer Bill Berry--of their Warner Brothers years, R.E.M. has consistently illustrated their music with something more substantial than simple performance promos. In View boasts 22 videos, 16 interview and performance snippets from throughout their career, and three songs recorded live in London in 2001. Highlights include the Western movie motif of "Man on the Moon," introspective traffic jam of "Everybody Hurts," and fanciful animation of "I'll Keep the Rain (starring a sleepy-eyed, button-nosed pup with crown of gold). Bonus points for the cameo by punk priestess Patti Smith in "E-Bow the Letter" and hipster actor Richard Edson (Stranger Than Paradise) in the faux Italian melodrama of "Bittersweet Me." --Kathleen C. Fennessy

In a vast, and eclectic collection of REM's greatest hits, the videos emote what REM has stood for all these years. The music. Though fully formed thoughts that went into videos like "bad Day" and "imitation of Life" balance well against the morning and lathargic feel of "E-bow the Letter", "Nightswimming" and "At my Most Beautiful". Balancing this video emotional roller coaster is revitalizing songs like "All the Way to Reno" and "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?". In all this collection has something for every music lover....more so for the REM fan

what else is there to say. If u are a fan of R.E.M. and their videos, then you probably already have it. If u dont, what are you waiting for. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because a couple of my favs, (Near Wild Heaven, Radio Song) wasnt included. But you can get those and more on the dvd This Film is On.

So i am super glad i bought this. This DVD will definitly stay in my collection for a while. It is great! It shows REM's different varieties. REM is my favorite band, and this DVD just makes my life complete. Not to mention MICHAEL STIPE IS THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!!!! So if you love REM and love Michael, then this is for you.
The only thing is, is that, it is missing some really good songs. Such as "shiny happy people", "drive" and many more. They may have not been their biggest hits, but they are just too good to be un-noticed.
Besides that...GET IT!.
Note: We need to persuade these amazon people to get futage of REM on unplugged. WHAT'S THE DEAL?!
