Jason Becker: Uberock film review



I don't want to talk too much about the second half of the film as I want you all to watch it. Nothing, seriously, will inspire you more. It's not as if I don't want to spoil anything for you, it's more like I don't want to dilute the movie's power to uplift, inspire, warm the heart, sting the eyes and leave an indelible mark in your mind.

If knowledge is power then the more that I have learned about the life of Jason Becker, and you certainly don't have to be a fan of the music to be moved by this film, the more I have been empowered by his strength of character, of will.

'Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet' isn't a contender for music film of the year - it wins that honour with ease - it is a contender for film of the year. Jesse Vile should swell with pride, not just at the quality of the film that he has produced, but at the fact that he has done it while maintaining the dignity of a man, a great man.

Jason Becker has, since first watching this film, become something of an inspiration to me: let him be the same for you. Make this film an essential purchase when it gets its UK DVD release next month.
