Watch: Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey 2005 123movies, Full Movie Online – Sam Dunn is a 30-year old anthropologist who wrote his graduate thesis on the plight of Guatemalan refugees. Recenly he has decided to study the plight of a different culture, one he has been a part of since he was a 12-year old: the culture of heavy metal. Sam sets out on a global journey to find out why this music has been consistently stereotyped, dismissed and condemned and yet is loved so passionately by its millions of fans. Along the way, Sam explores metals’ obsession with some of life’s most provacative subjects – sexuality, religion, violence and death – and discovers some things about the culture that even he can’t defend. Shot on location in the UK, Germany, Norway, Canada and the US, this documentary is the first of its kind. It is both a defense of a long-misunderstood art form and a window for the outsider into the spectacle that is heavy metal..
Plot: The film discusses the traits and originators of some of metal’s many subgenres, including the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, power metal, Nu metal, glam metal, thrash metal, black metal, and death metal. Dunn uses a family-tree-type flowchart to document some of the most popular metal subgenres. The film also explores various aspects of heavy metal culture.

Metal as a lifestyle and not a passing trend
Metal: A head banger’s journey

When this documentary starts showing at the multiplexes, it will be the biggest exposure this musical genre would have gotten thus far, aside from a few ridiculous lawsuits that went public throughout the years. The concept itself that mainstream audiences will be learning of everything from Dio’s unique opinions on things to Norwegian Black Metal is quite appalling. More importantly, hopefully this documentary will clear once and for all every false doubt and misconception that Metal has always portrayed to the misinformed.

A head banger’s journey starts off by examining Metal’s roots, the long debate in regards to who was the first Metal band ever. Then, we are taken through an analysis of how metal sub-genres came to exist. Dunn also gives his thoughts about Metal’s culture, viewpoints, religious standpoints, the fans and every other aspect of metal. Some of the veterans of the scene as well as some insightful outsiders give their interesting opinions to support the argument at hand. The film balances the serious aspects of Metal with some unintentional humor. Personalities like Alice Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Alex Webster, Slipknot, Ghaal, Dee Snider, Doro, Ihsahn and many others offer their own individual thoughts in an intellectual way while bands like Mayhem make a fool out of themselves during a drunken interview.

Dunn is a true metal head. It is his passion, yet he gives a critical and sometimes subjective opinion of the music at hand. The documentary is extremely entertaining and informative. It made me proud to be a metal head. It even made me give bands I’m not too fond of another chance. Bottom line is, if you’re a Metal fan you’ll enjoy this from beginning to end. If you’re a curious outsider, here’s your chance to understand our world better and get a more defined opinion of our music. And even if you don’t, well to quote Dunn at the end: “We’re doing just fine without you…”

This changed my life
This movie is truly great for what it shows. It gives outsiders a look at what Metal is to people who do not understand it. I am a big metal head and I always thought it was bad that I liked metal, every one around me told me it was bad and it was making me a bad person. But after watching this it explains every thing. If your a metal head who does not understand your self watch this it will change how you think of yourself. If your a metal head who already knows them self watch it just to learn more about it. If your a outsider who hates metal but wants to know why people listen to it watch it. This is by far one of the best documentary I have ever seen I highly suggest it to any one. It covers every thing you need to know about metal and it might just explain more about yourself than you might know. I am truly proud of my self and who I am after watching this. I hardly rate movies 10/10 but this one truly hits a home run in just about every thing. Watch it you wont be disappointed.
