These 50 different passionate perspectives,... On October 9, 2004, the Beastie Boys handed out 50 cameras to audience members at their sold-out performance in New York's famed Madison Square Garden. These 50 different passionate perspectives, shot from the point-of-view of the audience, take the viewer deep inside the world of a live Beastie Boys show, prismatically and kinetically capturing the experience of a live musical performance like no film has ever done. AWESOME; I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT! is a cinematic celebration starring, Mike D (Michael Diamond), Adrock (Adam Horovitz), and MCA (Adam Yauch) as the Beastie Boys; along with other special appearances by other special guests who are special, especially the camera operators who were especially special. The film was photographed, as director Nathanial Hörnblowér says, by "a bunch of untrained camera operators. But that gives the film sincerity. The people that shot it, were feeling it." --© THINKFilm [More]

The Beastie Boys rock the house -- in this case, Madison Square Garden -- in this high-energy concert movie shot in October 2004.

A killer concert film, an ecstatic testament to the joys of fandom and a tribute to the democratizing potential of moviemaking technology.

The result is a free-flowing, hyper-edited pastiche of sight and sound, real and unreal, and the occasional bathroom break. It's a lot of things, but it stays true to the title: it is awesome.

This isn't good cinematography by any formal standard, as the operators are amateurs; shots frequently bounce to the beat. But the sense of immediacy and excitement is contagious.

Those who love the Beastie Boys will love it, while those with only a passing interest will be only passingly interested.

Only hardcore aficionados will have the stamina to endure the full-on assault -- the movie starts to drag near the end and feels longer than its 90 minutes -- but that’s cool. It’s a love letter to the faithful in the first place.

It starts out on the nausea-inducing side, but it quickly settles into one of the most vivid concert experiences ever filmed.

A swirling, kaleidoscopic take on a familiar concept, and a raucous, you-are-there atmosphere.

Shot from nearly every imaginable vantage point in the Garden, the film gives a pretty good idea of what it might have been like to be there.

A Beastie Boys concert is filtered through the giddy, spastic, amateur photography of 50 fans lent video cameras in this hyperactive exercise in democratic documentary.

A wiggy head film seemingly destined for midnight movie screenings, cult fame, and stoned viewing by the home-video crowd...
