American Idiot Documentry (2013)

Recently I watched a documentary on the making of the Broadway musical called "American Idiot". I've never actually seen the musical but the reason I decided to watch this documentary is because I love the band Green Day and the soundtrack is amazing. The soundtrack consists of every song from the popular Green Day album called "American idiot" but covered by the performers. I honestly think some of the covered songs are better than the originals such as "21 Guns" featuring Rebecca Naomi Jones. Rebecca Naomi Jones plays Whatsername in the Broadway production and is such an amazing and talented singer, I've been listing to her songs and this soundtrack on repeat all week. I think its amazing to see how Billie Joe Armstrong (lead singer of Green Day) and his band went from the punk rock scene of mosh pits and crowd surfing to a very successful Broadway production. Since this is a documentary it is filmed a lot differently than other movies. There is no set script or actors but it is all real life events so the process of filming a documentary is much different than a fictional movie. There is also a lot of different issues that comes with filming a documentary versus a movie.
