This film deals with some outright delusional and mean people and anti social reality's.The music is played by Paul Watkin's, and a friend (friends name I don't know?) and not Charles Manson. Pauls music is cool. It is not Charles Mansos's music, as some unaware user posted. I think the film and the music are both fantastic!(where can I get a copy of this soundtrack?) I own much Manson music, much of it recorded illegally and under stressful conditions, to say the least. Manson's music, not in this film, is crazy, but also Charles Manson's music is damn good. This film is not suitable for children, obviously, and I do not recommend it to glorify violence either. Yet I do recommend this film for the sake of free thought and expression. If you can open your mind enough to actually listen to CD's like Charles Manson:Commemoration, you may be pleasantly surprised. It is in this same spirit that I highly recommend this film. We need to keep it real, people. Snoop Dog was on trial for murder, yet he raps to the tune of millions. President Bush started a war which has needlessly killed thousands of innocent women, children and men, both American's and Iraqi's, based upon false existence of WMD's, and their imminent threat to our lives. See a pattern here: the media creates drama and fear, and in Manson they struck a goldmine which is still plundered today, ala 2007. This nation, that I love but I must admit, also, was founded upon the blood of innocent, murdered, brutalized and butchered Indian's and enslaved, tortured, raped and beaten African Americans. So come on down from that hi, white tower, the world is beautiful and everybody should just get along and be like well-off white people BS.. The point in my rant, excuses extended, is not to justify or explain away any of the savage violence these maniacs committed (I don't care how many tabs of acid I dropped, nobody could ever convince me to murder in cold blood, or believe he was Jesus!)... the point is to look at it from a new angle. If you have already made up your mind, or had it made for you by the immoral media which floods our psyches with fear and garbage in this country, then honest reflection will bear out that you needn't bother either. Watkins, by the way, went on to do many good works, lecturing against substance abuse, anti social tendencies and the threat of cults, like the Manson family, presented here. Watkins left the clan before all the killing started, and he saw it coming. His interview segments and his music alone make this worth viewing again. I recommend it with liquor. Peace.
