Description:
Live Forever is a film about a period in the Nineties when anything seemed possible. Britain was of a time, of a people, of a place, which captured the world’s imagination. A bright new culture deserved a bright new government. And it seemed, for a little while at least, that Britain had one. Live Forever is a story that builds to that moment in the Nineties when the politicians recognized the emergence of a vibrant British popular culture and seized it, guerrilla-fashion, to re-brand the country. In the mid-Nineties Britain was swinging again and Oasis’ debut album Definitely Maybe captured the mood of the times; a swaggering and epic celebration of the joys of living purely for the moment. Along with Pulp and Blur, Oasis had kick-started an upsurge in home-grown musical talent. It heralded a new music scene, which became known as Britpop. But it wasn’t just the music. British galleries, catwalks and records were the envy of the rest of the world. British culture rocked and cool Britannia had arrived.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
I viewed this first as a rental in 2005, couldn't recall the dvd name, just 'Oasis, Blur, something, something.' They didn't have a clue at the rental place so I gave up. Then I found it on Amazon!
It is a fantastic time travel agency of the early 90's-complete with references to Nirvana and Grunge. You can almost feel the weird mix of mosh-pit and pasty voiced post-Thatcher creative release. Bits of contemporary videos by Stone Roses, ... Read More
Rating: - Proves Britain is Cooler Than You
So while most of America was crying in their CD pile over Kurt Cobain and listening to crappy knock-off grunge, acting "X," these guys were throwin' down the real deal.
Rating: - Tongue-in-cheek documentary slams the Gallagher brothers and their whole pretence.
This is a great documentary, very sly, subtle and informative. Made up of interviews with prominent bandmembers from the Britpop scene it documents the rise and fall of the Britpop phenomenon. It also shows, via interviews with Damon Albarn, how a fairly good band - Blur - can be brought low by its own hubris and by a popular perception that the band was 'not authentic enough'. It also shows, via interviews with Noel and Liam Gallagher, how another fairly good band - the Beatles tribute band Oasis ... Read More
Rating: - I thought this was a decent perspective and EXTREMELY entertaining
If you enjoy the music of Oasis, Blur, Pulp, the Verve, this DVD will be entertaining. Granted some of its theories revolving the BritPop movement seem overextended, it still provides a bit of entertainment. You might not agree with some of the theories, but its still worth a listen. Anyway, the DVD devotes a most of its time to the 3 biggest bands at the time : Oasis, Blur, and Pulp. (Well, I guess the Verve should also be included, but I doubt the reclusive Richard Ashcroft was willing to give an interview). ... Read More
Rating: - I agree with the first reviewer...
Noel and Liam and Jarvis are f*&king hilarious...Damon needs to off himself...same with the weirdo journalist with the upper-class accent...this video is good at making Britpop seem like an actual period in music...hahahahaha...whatever...besides, everyone knows Radiohead and Prodigy were quite accepted in the U.S. and were very original...Oasis is an awesome, lethal rock n roll band, anyone who loves rock n roll have to love Oasis...don't cheat yourself...
