The wet fart to follow the communal joy and haze of WOODSTOCK; what this film gets in an extraordinary way is the utter sadness and futility that the 70s would bring to contrast with the "flower-power" optimism of the early event - if WOODSTOCK is Kennedy, this film is Nixon! Captures the queasy horror of Jagger, Richards et al with a searing intimacy - we ultimately feel the weight of the death of an entire movement and ideal by the end of this, and all captured as it was happening!

Gimme Shelter tinha sua premiere em New York há 50 anos. Esse filme encapsula totalmente o que foram os anos 60 perfeitamente em míseros 90 minutos, a música, a liberdade, movimentos sociais, mas também a violência e a morte. BlurayRip no MakingOff.

Let's be honest -- the sixties was an absolute horseshit of a decade. This looks like if hell came to Earth (or the Hell's Angels huhuhuhuh). I can't think of a worst place to be high than sitting in the audience of this concert.

Half of this movie is closeups of pasty ugly people (no it wasn’t the tv reflecting lolo) looking dour. I hate the sixties, I hate it so much, stupid hippies. Terrified at the idea of 60s hippies and K-Pop fans fusing into one super obnoxious being. I wanted footage of people in the back row feeling like complete idiots for even bothering.

I'm not much of a fan of the Rolling Stones, so I weirdly found the organisational in-betweens of this "concert" film to be more engaging than the songs. In fact, I would prefer a cut of this with none of the music, only all the scenes of terrible organising and hippies vs bikers, because the crowd said more about the failure and hypocrisy of this generation than the band purports to do.

Any significance this film has in the first place is the result of sheer luck, but the whole Altamont segment of the film is excellently crafted by the Maysles. Up until then, the film was a bit of a chore for me, because the Stones' music features so prominently and is such a droning bore.

First half is okay but once the Altamont concert starts the tension just keeps on building and building until it all falls apart in thematically perfect fashion.

A visceral and compelling look at the violence that occurred at the Rolling Stones' free Altamont Speedway show. Through this, and their 1969 summer tour, The Maysles Brothers created a harrowing portrait of the bleak ending to the decade and subsequently, the hippie/counterculture movement.

It's the film -- more than Easy Rider or any other New Hollywood feature -- that registers and chronicles the death of the 60s -- through acid trips, people desperately trying to perform and a Hell's Angels dude killing a black guy with a knife. With all that, nothing makes sense anymore -- even if there are babies being born. It's just mayhem caught on camera. The closest cinema ever got to hell.
