The movie review summarizes the documentary "Anthem" directed by Peter Nicks and
produced by Ryan Coogler. The film follows composer Kris Bowers and producer D.J.
Dahi as they travel across America in search of reinventing the national anthem.
The review highlights the documentary's exploration of the legacy of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" and its connection to systemic oppression and hypocrisy.
However, the review criticizes the lack of genuine chemistry and emotional
depth in the conversations with the artists, as well as the neglect in
showcasing the musical process of composing the new anthem.
Despite its ambitious project, the review concludes that "Anthem" falls short
of fully realizing its potential to inspire empathy
and unity. |
