[MikeMasi]

Wait - where did all this footage come from with Japan at the end of the documentary? I don’t remember seeing any of this?

Watching this made me so sad. All the harassment and abuse she would face in just a few years after. My heart can’t take it.

Watched this a few months ago. Also, my dad sent me the link to this VF article lol. I'm gonna make him watch this with me this weekend

I am genuinely shocked at how many fans in this thread have never seen this (no shade at y’all, it’s just a book/doc released by Britney!). 
 

is it age? Were y’all not around then?

We watched Stages when we did Exhale movie night a couple months back, and I hadn’t seen it in years. I couldn’t believe how monotonous and boring it was. Like I feel like I wasted an hour watching it. It was like an hour of nothing happening. 

I will say it made her life look really undesirable to me. Her just sitting around waiting for the show to get put together, always on the road, isolated, all work and no fun. 

Well... that was her life, not everything was fun and games, she was hurting inside.

It is not that it was boring, that is really what touring is girl

She's so clever and so humble her words of wisdom really stretch over her age I think, she doesn't speak like a 19-20 year old girl

Loved Stages, haven’t seen it in years, I’m gonna have to dig out the book and dvd and give them both a look again.

Omg also why were they signing Get Naked before it ever came out? Lmao 

I've just realized that! I've never heard it before watching Stages😳 it sounded exactly like the Get Naked chorus, crazy. Maybe it was a little tune she used to sing with her dancers? 

[Arianna]

Stages is incredible & a must see

Is it worth a buy? It’s quite an expensive find now. Although I’ve always been tempted to treat myself one day and purchase it!

[vzlafan]

Stages documentary explains why britney was in that vulnerable mood, with full agenda, no time to think on herself, with docs like that you understand why kevin? why married him so fast? and all the stuff came after that.

[kgid]

I mean... If anyone wants to drop book scans, I don't think anyone would be mad about it.

 

I remember wanting to watch this so badly when it came out. (super religious parents who would have smacked me with a bible for even suggesting a Britney Spears dvd/photo book.  Then I downloaded it on limewire or something a kin to it in 2006 when I moved out.  No joke it took 5 days to download.  To my 18 year old self, totally worth it.   

Its an obsessive watch for me I'll rewatch it every now and then, just because it isn't sooooo accessable.  It's really a bittersweet doc.

Depends how much they’re asking for to be honest. It’s a nice collectors item and it’s a big sized book with nice pics documenting the DWAD show but if you can find the doc online then maybe it’s not worth it.

Yeah I’ve seen the doc tons of times on YouTube so it’d be more for the collector novelty/book. If I see it for the right price I might go for it
