      The Boat That Rocked--Hippie Music, Pirates and Radio

      I don't know much about hippies. Just watch it from the other side of the movie. The freedom of hippies—government restraint. The hippies floating freely in the North Sea and the gorgeous colors and the government officials sitting at risk in the bleak black and white form the biggest contrast in the film. I would like to think that Italy is the one that can compete with China's strong family concept and the United Kingdom is...

      【Movie】13047[9.14] "Pirate Radio"

      The confrontation between a rock radio station full of freedom, sex and drugs and a dull, conservative right-wing government is like a "V", the Germanic imagination is not only displayed on the dazzling screen, but also deeply rooted During the radio wave protests 50 years ago. When the splendid and orthodox stage is covered up, people who love freedom move to the vast North Sea, in the fruity blue field, to spread the dream and passion of rock and roll with the radio waves that will never...

      [Willuo Watching Movies] Three Fragments About Dreams (Part 1)

      At first I thought the movie was about pirates, but then I found out that it was a story of a group of old men making music on an old ship. To be precise, they are only responsible for distributing music, rock, jazz, anything that can't be heard on national radio. The music they admired fits the free spirit of the 1960s, and countless people are addicted to their voices, their music, their lives as if they were addicted to marijuana. What better day than being able to listen to your favorite...

      Open from here

      Originally I liked the quiet and didn’t like the hustle and bustle
      Originally I just watched and didn’t comment
      Originally dull and not active


      However, everything started from this movie upside down I’m

      not interested in the plot
      Only for all the singles and their bands and their love and affection in this show Does anyone know who can provide the names of these songs?
      Although most of them I can't understand their lyrics and what to sing, I still...

      We Heard You

      There are some movies that you want to watch with an objective attitude, but in the end your emotions will overcome your reason. Those iconic symbols I can only see from what I know about civil rights, anti-government, gay rights, liberation, black slaves, and even the Vietnam War. I find that every movie where there is a cigarette scene must be almost smoked. The smoke at the end is like "Let the Bullets Fly". Jiang Wen held the cigarette that was burning to the point of his fingers and...

    Movie plot

    In the United Kingdom in 1966, the BBC was the center of pop music, but even with such an open radio station, there were only 2 hours per week left for rock and roll. However, at the same time, there is an illegal "The Boat That Rocked" that secretly plays rock music 24/7. 25 million people-more than half of the UK's total population are listening to this radio. The story begins with a kid named Karl who was expelled from school....

    Behind the scenes gags

    Director Richard Whalley Anthony Curtis grew up listening to the music of these independent radio stations.
    The crew really got a boat to shoot. The ship they used was the Timor Challenger, a Dutch medical ship. The ship’s previous name was De Hoop.
    The crew members go out to sea from Portland Port every day to shoot scenes of the North Sea in the film...

    Positive review

    Curtis used a young man to live on a boat and experience the private lives of mature men through this perspective. This perspective is somewhat revealing curiosity and excitement, but also ignorant and joyful. "The Boat That Rocked" uses multiple characters to talk together, eclectic. There are many characters, but each image is distinct. The film is a good show of the rock spirit of the 1960s. The rock in "The Boat That Rocked" is...
