Meeting People Is Easy is an interesting rockumentary but leaves a little to be desired.It shows how the tribulations of touring, interviews, promotions can wear on you. Constant repetition, unintentionally trite questions by interviewers, or the feeling you're being interrogated or psycho analyzed by a stranger would wear on anyone's patience.It's a bit hard to understand at times due to the English accents, off camera speaking and music playing over top of the voices so closed captioning would be useful.alternapop.comFilm Track List:00:18 Fitter Happier 04:00 Paranoid Android 06:15 Lucky 10:23 Creep 13:26 Climbing Up the Walls (Zero 7 Mix) 15:52 How to Disappear Completely 17:11 Karma Police 19:06 Meeting in the Aisle 21:42 On Your Own Again (song by Scott Walker) 23:48 Airbag 25:47 A Reminder 28:59 Airbag 29:42 Creep 31:37 Paranoid Android 33:32 & 36:30 Life in a Glasshouse 37:16 Exit Music (For a Film) 42:41 Paranoid Android 43:58 Climbing Up the Walls (Fila Brazillia Mix) 44:40 No Surprises 48:42 Unknown song / random jamming 50:08 Climbing Up the Walls 51:09 Street Spirit 53:03 Palo Alto 58:19 Electioneering 1:01:10 Pearly* 1:06:55 Climbing Up the Walls 1:07:06 Paranoid Android 1:07:18 Planet Telex 1:07:52 Follow Me Around 1:13:33 I Will 1:15:48 The Tourist 1:18:16 Sit Down.

I started to really like Radiohead over the past 2 weeks so I decided it would be a good idea to watch this documentary about their OK Computer tour. I went in expecting a normal documentary tracking the band on their journey, but this was far from that. All this is is small clips of songs, clips interviews, and clips the band moving from show to show. not FULL interviews or songs, small CLIPS. This was absolutely horrendous. Nothing felt complete. The clips of songs were only about thirty seconds at most and the interview clips and other clips of the band were more of the band explaining why they don't like interviewing and them complaining and whining every time they mess up then actual informative footage and interviews. After the movie I felt I learned nothing of the band. Everything was mixed up and a complete mess. I know Radiohead is a weird band and they probably did this documentary this way to keep that strange feel, but this was just done terribly. This movie should not be viewed by anyone, even Radiohead fans. Hands down worst documentary, 2/10 stars.

This highly cinematic documentary forces one to rethink the way s/he may think of life as a "rock star". Radiohead's unique stardom is portrayed in a dark and highly neurotic light. The pains of dealing with an incessant press, constant live performances, and travel around the nation bear down on these five men and produce tension that borders on nervous breakdown. When watching this film, the intense style transports this tension to the viewer, making it difficult to watch. But it adds insight to the band that has changed Rock music forever, and lets one understand better exactly what they are doing and going through. Well worth the headache and depression experienced afterwards. Meeting people is truly not easy.

OK, I'll tell you the truth: I am a great fan of Radiohead. I find that their songs speak straight to my whole self. And I love the fact that one can always find new elements in them. So, I really wanted to see the documentary. Let's begin...I understand the pressure on their shoulders. But, in this one, they're making such a big issue out of it! Guys, worse things can happen to you than being famous and widely accepted. Stop whining all the time! I also love the artwork in their albums. But they tried to copy it here. Not pleasant! It gets terribly tiring watching everything move, not being able to see colors at times and magazine articles getting into the way the whole time. Apart from all that, it gets boring really soon. It repeats itself. Concerts, articles, comments..."What did you expect?", you'll say. Maybe something different being said in that much time. Of course, you have the opportunity of listening to their songs, watching some parts of their videos, hearing them say interesting things. I won't deny that. I don't want to! Maybe I sounded really bad in this review. I didn't hate it that much. I enjoyed it, for the reasons I told you before. But, if Radiohead are what they are today, it's because they dared say what's into them, and they did not repeat themselves, using cliches. Not really what we have here...Sorry.
