What a fabulous documentary. I am just getting back into comics and this guy is a reason why I find the medium so fascinating.
You forget his arch enemies Warren Ellis and Alan Moore.

Grant Morrison lives by the philosophy of accepting the darkness and utter meaninglessness of the Universe and giving it the middle finger truly an inspiration
then youll love a lil guy called nietzche🥸
Possibly the sanest insane person in comics :-)
i'd say one of two - the other being alan moore
I said to my school friend when I returned to Scotland after many, many years absence "Do you ever hear of Grant Morrison from Mosspark Primary? " (I had a bit of thing about him when I was 11 years old) to which my friend said "Where had I been hiding all these years?" I was really gobsmacked to find out how famous he had become. Going to watch this when I come back from the Seashore.
I’m reading invisibles right now and it’s blowing me away in how fun, imaginative, dark, inspirational, insane it is. By the time I’m done reading there’s no doubt this will be one of my favorite works of fiction ever
Was it?
Invisibles is fantastic. I think The Filth is his masterpiece.
The most challenging of Grant's work and also the most rewarding. I'm never not discovering things in it. I will take All-Star Superman for my feels though.
@@BrendanMcGinley I read it and it continuously blew my mind, but vol. 3 was so boring and had children’s story book art…I’m ashamed to say I couldn’t finish it, do you think it’s worth going back and finishing? I thought volume 1 and 2 were mind blowing with the exception of the poets arc.
@@BrendanMcGinley Oh yeah it also put a sour taste in my mouth when he goes on a rant of people saying the inconsistent art jarring (I didn’t mind it myself until vol. 3 because the action scenes all go from serious to slapstick comedy). Because if he really believes this why didn’t he have multiple writers as well?it just came off as pretentious because it’s such an easily understandable criticism.
HO-LY-FUCK. this thing just blew me away. as one of those dorks that HATED reading Grant Morrison stuff, this totally made me love him and inspires me to do more art. Thanks for this.
You’re cringe
I used to not really understand Morrison when I was younger. Wrote him off as a quack. I then started dabbling in psychedelics, and he puts things into words that I never could. He is one of my favorite writers if not my absolute favorite. Genius.
Pretty sad
@@abcs123s3 why is it sad lol?
@@60sspider-man29 I agree, because even Morrison himself and people who knew him said the drugs didn’t start till later, so this guy needing to do drugs to see the value in his amazing stories pure delusion.
Where he spoke of magic and his experience in kathmandu i had to pause to go run an errand, hopped in my car & when i turned on the radio the song You Can Do Magic by America had came on 🌝
Damn, *The Lovin' Spoonful's* _'Do you believe in Magic'_ would have been more apt...
:- )
One time I did a money spell with a particular friendly "demon" so I went out to get a lottery ticket, while I was in the car the song "money, that's what I want" came on the radio right before I got to the gas station to buy the ticket and I ended up winning.
@@cultofthevoid5677 hah nice experience, i had more inner spiritual experiences with spirits beats drugs any day
May I ask what demon? Congrats btw! 👏😊@@cultofthevoid5677
A fabulous fabulous film about a beautiful, deeply compassionate man.
I would pay to make a Hideo Kojima/Grant Morrison collab happen
Well, you have pen, and paper...
Pensive Scarlet This. Don’t wait up on other people to make the leg work of what you want to see them do.
@@Pensive_Scarlet rest in peace
This was phenomenal. Love Grant Morrison and his works.
i have had that magical journey, and I understand and appreciate his journey and diary in his works
Grant is now personally adapting the invisibles for TV. It's going to be a remake set in 2020
hmm.
Wow...this can ONLY be done with his involvement and hopefully a great crew of folks along with him. But that will be pretty interesting to see this brought to the small screen. But even so, that will be tough...
Sounds too good to be true
@@babyfactory587 I hate changing timelines. So the 'end of sentence' or whatever it was did not happen in 2012 after all? What about events like Princess Diana's death or the attack of Asahara's sect, they were not important to the story after all? Sortof sad, really.
You been watching Happy? It is pretty much set in that universe, but in the states.
This is an incredible, high-quality work.
My former self despised Morrison on my Moore bias.
And it was Sequart's posts and recommended readings that pointed me to admire this man's remarkable and groundbreaking work.
Like him or hate him, it's really hard to imagine anyone else that love comics as Grant Morrison does.
Thank you very much for this video. Subscribed for good.
I bought this as a DVD almost 10 years ago and I have watched it about a 100 times
This is one of the best things ever thanks so much for posting it here
This is the best documentary I've ever seen, maybe because I love Grant's works so much that knowing his origins makes me happy.
You mean his?
@@dddaaa6965 yes "his"
Magnificent!!! Grant Morrison is one of the greatest writers that ever lived!!!
I'm glad to have been a part of this...
This was a terrific documentary. This needs more views
Beautiful. Grant is my favorite writer and I've watched this before but I will watch it again to support projects like this. Thank you so much!
I haven't read any of Moore, or Morrison's works (something to that similarity in name structure I'm sure). However, I am very interested in writers and how they create. I find it fascinating the similarities between Moore and Morrison, especially as it pertains to the practice of magic and world views. Anyhow, Moore talks about the idea of the "logos"; the word, that which is responsible for all of creation: In the beginning there was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Essentially, Morrison views as writing as a shamanic practice meant to inform and bring one self closer to the true self. Unfortunately, most art/shamanism has been subverted to serve a lesser purpose ie: to make money. So, essentially what from my limited understanding Moore and Morrison are both shamans that appeared around the same time? Which is also interesting as Moore talks about the morphogenic field, that spawns information and innovation in humanity. This occurs many times, but the steam engine didn't exist for millions of years and within the space of a couple weeks it is invented by many people, who had no means of contact in that time period. Moores and Morrison, both a product of the morphogenic field.
Moore is a half dead incomprehensible hunchback now, meanwhile morisson looks the same as 20 years ago and is having fun producing works still.
Brilliant Bio what an amazing man so down to earth and yet his incredible imagination is so out of this world . I wonder how Grant feels about the comic strip story Covid world we find ourselves living in today !
Why just 80 minutes? this could be a 120 or 140 minutes documentary T.T Grant Morrison worth it.
El Solito cgyvgfunhyuhhuouyyiigkhgyyfhhodt
I am assuming Julian Darius and Patrick Meaney only had so much of a budget. Plus this is the regular edition.
It should keep going until time itself stops. Sadly, we don't have that technology.....yet.
Superb documentary on one of the greatest imaginations of the modern era. I cannot recommend The Invisibles highly enough.
My favorite comic book that Grant Morrison wrote was his Doom Patrol run from 1989-1992. I just love the absurdity of the entire run. He made every character interesting. My favorite story out of the run is the Candlemaker story. It's frightening & absurd at the same time. The Chief's heel turn in that story made me to never look at the Chief the same way again.
I still own the DVD
I've watched this about 50 times since it was released
Love this; definitely a personal hero of mine and can relate to everything he says.
Same here. He is the reason I am still alive.
@@Pensive_Scarlet not anymore
@@dddaaa6965 What do you mean?
@@Pensive_Scarlet you died
@@Pensive_Scarlet rest in peace
I don't watch too many films on YT and this is the first time I read automatic subtitles. While it mostly works for Grant's American colleagues and friends, with his own Scottish accent the sentences sometimes make no sense at all. Amazing.
Lmao nice
You could wean yourself into it with 'The Limmy Show' or 'Bornistoun' - both available on YT
I really think people say final crisis doesn't make sense (not that they don't like it, but that it's incomprehensible) need to take the time, and read seven soldiers and all the associated tie ins. I used the dc universe reading list, which it was much larger, and I can't imagine reading just 1-7 of final crisis (like everybody said was enough). Take the time, and its a fantastic story. One of my favorite events honestly.
Thanks for sharing with us .
Wow. Talk about coincidental timing: I just started playing X2: Wolverine's Revenge again, and that game is based off of Grant Morrison's New X-Men comic run.
Did you know?
Grant Morrison's tears cure ego corruption, too bad he never cries.
This is inspirational:) Thank You.
so glad i watched this, so much respect for grant morrison
Oh man, I remember watching this in the big screen even this came out. It was so interesting
A teenage Grant Morrison drawing Iron Fist makes me feel better about all those Spider-Man comics I drew in the margins of my school notes in middle school ;-)
The interesting thing is that despite all his esoteric experience and ideas, he mostly comes off as being a regular, down to earth person.
Amazing documentary, real and totally authentic ❤️🙏
45:40 that. That’s exactly been my experience with writing. It’s hard to force it, but when it just flows, it’s like it’s out of your hands. Characters are just themselves, not created or anything. They just are and they act.
That was class. Fascinating guy. There's a great podcast on BBC sounds that has Frankie Boyle interviewing Grant. It's called chain reaction.
any chance you guys could upload dvd bonus footage?
Cmon man, this is a free movie on UA-cam. I get where you are coming from, but learn to just appreciate what you get for free.
What an amazing magical magician of a man
This was extremely eye opening. Glad I got to finally finish
That's what she said?
@@Skinnybrandotron I can't call it but possibly
Feck it...I'm gonna have to read invisibles again...still haven't got a feckin clue what's goin on..
WOW! Amazing documentary! This hit me on so many levels! I knew of Grant for a long time but never really looked into him and just amazing! I wish I could reach out to him and have a chat or just let him know that there are lots of "youth" becoming Gnostic warriors as he put it I think? Or basically a resurgence of magick, Alchemy and awakening! I personally practice magick, do psychedelic work, like to think of myself as kind of a mystic of sort and the visons I have had are sooo similar to his (and many others!) and without knowing his visons just confirms like he says in the end that we are on to something! I have see the "blob" aliens also not on DMT like McKenna but just smoking cannabis! I call them amoebas or thats what they looked like to me with galaxies inside their weird little bodies and they told me "Remember!!! Try to Remember! Create! Here like this!" then they did some things....lol But yeah so many weird things in my life matched up to Grants mainly the visions and magick part. What a beautiful mind! We are ONE thing! We are one being and we are just about to be born I believe and then ohhhh boy will it be awesome! lol
It's weird being part of the subject of a documentary but not be named.
I wish this movie was called "Talking Shite With Gods"
Mint documentary! What a story.❤❤❤💫 thankyou.
Would you consider adding English subs? As a non-native I can only understand every third word or so of his accent.
From your name I suppose you are a spanish native speaker, if that's the case this docummentary can be found with spanish subs.
@@kalavera992 probably this video should be found with many subs but it is not, i'm italian and a search for a video with italian subs many times
Wow is the Scottish accent really that hard to understand?!
@@mist7628 his is a mild version of the accent...ha ha....
ty for sharing
I may be biased but I do believe this movie fucking rocks
In a word: "Fan-Dabby-Dozey". Excellent Docu. He's a very interesting bloke.
He's not the Messiah, he's just a very working class boy
This is so James Hillman, as in we're born with a purpose and choose the best parents to help us achieve this purpose.
i love this doc so much. ive watched it so many times thru out the years. anyone know who did all the music that appears thru out? i love it so much
My band LIVING FICTION wrote a few songs that the director used in this doc! Thanks for the compliments!
Demons will eventually lead you where you don't want to go.

@@PlaydatePlayer it’s not that bad and it’s cheap
Too bad UA-cam's automated subtitles have the same issue with making out Scottish accents as I have.
What a legend.
I love how fast they cut away after the sigil masturbation comment lmao, even though it's extremely effective.
whoooa I was watching an Alan Moore documentary and then BAM youtube recommends this video? Synchronicity? Chaos magic? I'll never know
He’s a genius.
Discovered this guy yesterday while looking up hypersigils. Going to a comic convention in 2 days. Coincidence?
Yes
Great film! What a guy.
Some people have more magic than others at different times in our life
Great documentary. Was hoping that Gerard Way was going to be in it somewhere, but it was great all the same
amazing
So want to bring Grant to speak in oz.
Wow!! Grant looks a lot or little depending on the gunk on your eyes , like Spider Jerusalem. A healthier and less manic tho. Spider Jerusalem is the main protagonist in Transmetropolitan of DC comics under their Vertigo imprint. Y'all should check it out.
I was reading Hunter S. Thompson around the same time I read Transmetropolitan (great book), and got that Hunter vibe for sure. As an aside I highly recommend reading The Lost Highway series by Hunter S. Thompson. It's a collection of ALL of his writings Thompson had been obsessively preserving since his youth.
Good documentary about an interesting bloke.
I thought Grant has a ted talk where he talks about taking psychedelic drugs. ...yet his friends claimed he doesn't do any drugs on here
did you watch it all? its mentioned he started drinking and trying drugs in his 30s
I think there are drugs, "heroin, crack etc" and drugs, "weed, mushies, acid" .
1:10:00 - all star superman
Yeah .. good memory
I love this.
Then marry it
what was the magik book he mentioned called?
Fascinating conversations but a pretty roughly directed film
listing to grant like 5 gram of psilocybin
So you write a comic and then you turn into a God
He sounds like a crack pot
Comic book writers are nuts. Morrison (see this doc), moore is a delusional child that needs to read an economics book, Gaiman used to be a scientologist THEN became a comic writer. They are all nuts.
1:11:10 Wait, what?😅 So, were they near a convention? I have a lot of questions...😂
ua-cam.com/video/8ZcflWe6Fhc/v-deo.html Grant stole his buddy's guitar then sold it to the pawn shop and then told his friend he used magick to find it. LOL!
Ah the Tangled webs weave. Alan Moore and Mark Millar are mere mortals....mortal men . Crazed and driven rabid with the plague of insignificance. Morrision is a God
QUE GENTINHA MALVADA.. ESTOU DESENFORMADO
OK Grant, everybody, like wow... Time to distil THESE lessons into your OWN creations, however Crude
Grant's become an amazing juggler of timelines, storylines - there's still a LOT of room at the bottom for more 'PunkRock' creations, both in Comix, Music and Film - for me, and for a lot of you'se, after READING Invisibles, anything I write is going to be a BIT 'Invisibles Universe' , and that's TOTALLY ok (just google Morrison/Moorcock, Gideon Stargrave/Jerry Cornelius - sometimes you need a vine to GROW around - at first) - and if WW3 IS kicking off (a perfect storm of conflicts around the Planet) somehow we NEED our dreams and mini-universes even MORE
Imagine, for a moment, that any fictional universe, places you visit/create in dream dimension, is where you get to spend your afterlife? It might not be a utopic one, but lets make it.. Interesting
Just in case Nuclear Vaporisation now IS round the corner?

Part of me wants to try sigils. I'm not gonna do it, But I want to
Why not?
Why shouldn’t you lmao
thee's nothing too weird about it, (compatible with secular and rational values) we live surrounded by such symbols (dynamic brain scans show state correlations with corporate logos and religious symbols). It's like creating a logo for an activity or theme in your life that makes sense to you, advanced goal setting through symbols. Go ahead, the Grant Morrison technique is pretty solid (just target only yourself, never other people, and try to enhance some positive thing at first). Have fun!
@@SebastianChum huh. Maybe. What do you mean by not targeting other people
@@Seth-hc2bj don't make it about someone else would be my tip, focus on your own life mainly. Simple courtesy because it's not nice to make sigils about people if they don't know about it.
