✦Review
5.1/10★★★☆☆ 5.1In the shadow of September 11th, the film directs the performance of the legendary rock stars and pop icons on the stage, as it talks about a music flood that shakes the streets of New York. Cameras capture the preparation behind the stage and the enthusiasm of the crowd at the same time; this simultaneous attraction makes the audience a part of both the energy and the city spirit of the stage. Sound design clearly announces echoes outside the stage as it keeps each song flowing. Talks and unexpected collaborations show that the concert is not just a demonstration, but also a solidarity manifesto. The director visually reinforces the city's determination to get back on its feet with lighting and stage decor. The audience enriches the reality, the viewing experience of the intimate moments on stage as it celebrates the healing power of music, while the film also reveals the spirit of New York. The quality of the image is high, but in some scenes the lighting can suddenly change to surprise the audience, and the sound mixer from time to time suppresses sounds outside the scene makes it difficult for the audience to bond emotionally, although the sincerity of the general atmosphere and performances makes the film fluid and impressive.
✓Pros1

✕Cons1
