Anvil, the story of Anvil is a documentary about a band that never achieved the popularity that some felt they deserved and the continuing struggle for the band to achieve that recognition. The film was very American Film-esque with the underdog creative with unbridled optimism and his drive to see his vision through. Experiencing the tour of an aging heavy metal band you learn that you have to love the music to put yourself through the perils of such a journey. Many comedic moments occur with interactions of the 2 band elder statesmen with restrained love for one another that bursts through when angry and odd statements are said, so very metal. And the fanny packs run rampant. Even if you are not a fan of heavy metal this is just a fun film to see with sympathetic characters and a hope filled story.
