"Bruce Springsteen - Under Review 1978-1982/Tales of the Working Man"
Bruce Springsteen ist weltweit seit Jahrzehnten äußerst populär. Allein in den USA hat er mehr als 60 Millionen Alben verkauft.
Seine Songs haben meist das amerikanische Alltagsleben zum Thema. Seine zahlreichen Fans nennen ihn gern anerkennend "The Boss". Boss wurde er ursprünglich nur band-intern genannt. Nicht nur, da er der Bandleader war, sondern auch aufgrund seines Führungsstils und des Umstandes, dass die Mitglieder der E-Street-Band angeblich lediglich seine Angestellten waren.
Diese Dokumentation bietet die unautorisierte englischsprachige Biografie über Bruce Springsteen und eine ausführliche Dokumentation mit Ausschnitten aus Konzerten und TV-Auftritten des Künstlers, sowie Kommentaren und Interviews mit Freunden und Bekannten.

"Bruce Springsteen - Under the Influence"
Way before Bruce Springsteen was composing and performing his own music, he developed his muse by listening, listening and listening agein to the records that would live with him through his life and career. Records which, you can bet you life, he still listens to today. Cuts from Elvis, Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash were later joined by the Phil Spector sound and The Rolling Stones - which in turn made room for Van Morrison, and later still even New York's art-punk terrorists Suicide. There were also classic 45s which captured The Boss by the throat and have never let go - Quarter to Three by Gary (US) Bonds and Devil In A Blue Dress from Mitch Ryder spring to mind here. During his more recent career Bruce developed a love for the captivating story songs of Woody Guthrie and the crystal folk of Pete Seeger. These artists and others too have inspired and informed Springsteen's compositions and performances in a manner that very few major artists - with the possible exception of Bob Dylan - would either admit to or have the confidence and state of grace to accept.
Bruce Springsteen 'Under the Influence' examines the foundations of his craft and illustrates the huge influence that artists such as thesse have had on him throughout his career. This extraordinary program also looks broadly at the political, literary and cultural influences that have affected New Jersey's favourite son, and all at once provides the most detailed and fascinating film ever made about Springsteen's inspiration.
Featuring rare footage of Bruce and all of his favourites, alongside revealing archive interviews with The Boss himself, and insightful contributions from Vini Lopez and Gary Mallaber (ex of the E Street Band), Gary (US) Bonds, biographer Eric Alterman, Rolling Stone's Anthony DeCurtis and numerous other associates, experts and influences.
This film is both a detailed, academic look at Bruce Springsteen's artistic development and an entertaining an joyous celebration of his own music and that of the artists he loved most.
