The Insider (1999)

Not so great
This DVD is interesting but not that helpful practically speaking. No real advice that you can actually apply. Mostly idealistic, conceptual talk. Also, I'm pretty sure that some of these other reviews are written by the people who made the movie.

Excellent Music Learning Tool
The DVD wis broken down by aspects of the music industry in which one WILL deal with when starting out. Anything you need to address in any situation is fulfilled in this audio/video presentation. All people who have various knowledge from the actual artist to the CEO/President of small and large labels answers various topic questions. Every genre of music has one representative, I believe. If you want to know about what all goes on from various points of view and situations, this is one to own. A must own for anyone who just wants to know about the insides of the music industry.

Only bad note... is the annoying music in the background.

Valuable tool for anyone interested in the music business
This is truly one of the most valuable purchases I have made in a while. I have been looking for some sound advice for getting into the industry, and my search has proved to be successful. I did not expect to hear celebrities discussing personal stories on their starts. It was good to hear that they struggled just as much, if not more than I have before breaking through. I highly reccommend this program for all who aspire to develop a career in music.
