Description of Five Summer Stories
Heralded as "the finest surf movie ever made," Five Summer Stories is a cultural icon, a time capsule from a watershed era when the world was at a critical crossroads and its reflection was clear in the emerging sport/art of surfing. Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon years, Five Summer Stories was the culmination of the joint surf-film careers of Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray. Code named "The Last Surfing Movie" during production, the movie portrays a young, outlaw sport at a strategic point in its creative evolution - and at an historic crux in time. Now you, too, can do what audiences of the 1970's did - you hoot and scream and go crazy - all in the privacy of your own home.Sports reviews of Five Summer Stories
Customer Review: not bad!!!!!!!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
First,I dont think anyone can come close to this classic.I was on the
north shore when they were shooting some of the footage.I was in middle
school at the time;o.c. and riding my skateboard was all i did.when 5.S.S.
came out at newport mesa theatre.I saw it 3 times.What a great impression
it made.Cause, I never forgot it.Now this dvd is an updated version.
So I cant give it a top 5 stars. If they re-release the ORIGINAL I wont
think twice about 5 stars.
Customer Review: Disappointing
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Just bought 5 Summer Stories and while we enjoyed the film clips, much of the orginal music was gone. What a dissapointment as this is 1/2 of the 5 summer stories. My husband is a surfer (40 yrs now) and has a lot of memorilbilla, and looked forward to getting this DVD, but was really let down by the music used (modernized). Bummer! Definately not one of his favorties in his DVD surf library.Customer Review: No Beach Boys
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
A wonderful film, however without the original Beach Boys sound track, the film lacks at least half of its beauty and value. Disappointing.
