Has anybody here seen 'The Devil and Daniel johnston'??

it's a music documentary about about Folk singer Daniel johnston, it's REALLY good and i was wondering if anyone here has seen it.

I'm going to assume a good amount of people have. I thought it was extremely interesting and am surprised nobody beat the **** out of him. I'm not saying they should have, but VERY surprised he didn't get a beating for being the way he is. It's funny because now I recognize some of his songs in commercials. There's a few out there.

This film has been sat on my shelves in a 3 pack music documentary set that includes End of the Century : The Story of the Ramones and The Mayor of Sunset Strip for around 18 months now but as I had already seen the Ramones doc before buying the set it has since gathered dust.

I really should watch the other 2 docs!

It's pretty good. Certainly worth watching if you are a fan.

i actually became a fan BECAUSE of the documentary lol

i found his story amazing and that is aside from all his great music.
i actually recommend that before you start listening to him as an artist you know him as a person..

once you know his story his music has even more meaning..
That way you get his minimalistic approach towards music, which could be hard to adjust to because the production value of his tapes are so ****ty lol

but once you get past that slowly you'll start to see the potential he has..

idk i just luved the film..
it was a glimpse of a Cult legend i never knew existed.
