Remember Me This Way

All the previous reviews were based on what occurred after his superstardom came toppling down. This doco was made while he was in the limelight and a superstar. I am a victim of sexual abuse when I was in my teenage years but still enjoy Glittermania. There were quite a few Glam Rock Stars at this time. The 70's most noted were Slade Sweet and of course Gary Glitter. Music is an outlet of emotion and the 70's music fulfilled that.

I will enjoy this doco as I am a 70's music addict and all that goes with it.

Wanted to see the film when it was released only my sisters friends said it wasn't very good, saw it on TV in 1995 and it wasn't that great, saw him live in 1984, lots of young ladies there, he could hold an audience

It`s difficult to remember when popular culture was much worse than the mid 1970s . Television was truly great however as the great Jon Pertwee gave way to Tom Baker`s gothic horror era as Doctor Who and there was a new cop show in Britain called THE SWEENEY . Sadly these television golden moments weren`t matched by music or fashion as the most successful pop star in Britain at the time was a short 30 something bloke in a wig called Gary Glitter . GG first hit the charts in 1972 with a more or less instrumental single called Rock And Roll Part 2 which still gets played at sports staduims in the states today . It`s quite a good tune if truth be told but then Gary had to spoil everything by releasing records where he actually sang

REMEMBER ME THIS WAY was made to cash in on what was known as "Glittermania " . At a running time of 57 minutes some people will complain that it`s far too short while most people will complain it`s too long by at least 56 minutes . Like those Beatles films that were made in the 1960s the story follows a vague plot with Gary on a neo fascist organization`s hit list , but the plot is unimportant as the film is a showcase for Gary`s singing .

The production values are very poor . In fact I`ve seen better made porn movies ( Thankfully none of them starring Gary Glitter ) and since Glitter`s music is to the fore every porno movie I`ve seen has far better music too . It`s obvious Glitter wasn`t born to be an actor and if most people were honest watching this they`d say he wasn`t born to sing either

REMEMBER ME THIS WAY is probably the worst movie ever to have come out of this country and is too long by at least 56 minutes
