The movie starts off fast with a beautiful rant by Miles, the controversial "F--- Bob Dylan" moment. I played this back ten times at least. I'm certain that he's not so much talking about Bob Dylan the man, but Bob Dylan the icon.
To believe that Dylan can do no wrong is maddening. To believe that Radiohead can do no wrong is maddening. To believe that John Lennon can do no wrong is maddening.
Star worship is maddening. So maddening, in fact, f--- 'em all. Get it?
There's so much to love about Beulah and about this movie. The songs that are in the movie sound amazing for a documentary about an indie band. And while Miles does steal the show with his pontificating, everybody shines.
Case in point: when the t-shirt guy lists all the things he does on tour I was laughing so hard I nearly choked. Later, when he shows off everything he owns I again nearly died. But when their roadie poses the question of which member of the Vanderslice band they'd all like to sleep with, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Miles' melancholic statement that closes the movie seals the deal. These bands that we love so much do leave us much too quickly. It's up to us to seize the day and make sure that we appreciate them--and all beautiful, fleeting things--while they are still here.
