3.0 out of 5 stars Have Your Own Mindscape Blown, September 8, 2008

This review is from: The Mindscape of Alan Moore (DVD)

While I think an objective documentary about Alan Moore is in order, this trip through his current headspace is enough to spark some thought. It divides up into two areas -- first Moore talks about how he got into comics and what inspired his seminal works, but then the interview segues into his current worldview, where it may lose people that aren't his fans. (When he starts talking about magic, both he and the director make oblique references to Promethea, but as a phase of his professional career, it isn't really explained.)

Along the way, the director stages pieces of Moore's work -- a chilling moment from V which is far more effective than the Wachowskis, the diary of Rorschach and repeated imagery which seems to be meant to evoke Swamp Thing and John Constantine.

Moore has a lot on his mind, and it's interesting, though director Vylenz could have culled a bit of his repetition. The second disc consists of interviews with some of Moore's artistic collaborators, which does make this a must-have for discriminating comics fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars This documentary changed my perspective on life, December 8, 2008

This review is from: The Mindscape of Alan Moore (DVD)

Alan Moore is one of the (if not THE) most celebrated and awarded writers in the comic book (or graphic novel) medium. This documentary film is an indepth look into the life, influences, thoughts and musings of Alan Moore. While I had a hard time understanding Mr. Moore's very thick accent (I watched it with subtitles on), it was by no means a distraction from the contents of the film, namely a journey into Moore's mind and his creative process. This film also has had a very strong impact in how I view life, creativity and the medium of literature and art. This film is a must see for anyone who cares about the creative process and our culture in general. Brilliant, poignant and very thought-provoking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating documentary, August 2, 2009

My expectations were low when I borrowed this from the library, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Moore is such a treasure trove of interesting factoids, especially when it comes to his influences, his expectations, and his motivation for writing comics. He is full of interesting ideas and observations about Western society... one would think he wrote books instead of comics.

Icing on the cake for fans who want to know just a little more about the most ambitious comic writer of our era.
