More than one friend, after watching this film or just seeing the poster, all said with certainty that I would like this movie. It really makes them right. This kind of movie that is full of British fan, engages in small arts, is full of music and passion, and builds an ideal country. The point is that the ending is not a tragedy. It is really every frame of picture and every line. All stuck on my degenerate aesthetic taste.
The story of "Pirate Radio" is mixed with real era background and absurd fictional subjects. A group of perverse behaviors and different personalities have established a grassroots rock radio station that broadcasts 24 hours a day on a ship floating on the high seas. In this way, to fight against the British control of private radio stations, and to fool the BBC’s stupidity and conservativeness of only 45 minutes of pop rock shows every day. All these shackles and resistance are only because rock and hippies are watched by the authorities. It's "nasty and dirty". The main character of the movie is the young Carl who was sent on board by his mother to find the future. Almost every DJ on the love boat has enough space to release his light, even the only female cook with lace edges.
In terms of time, "Pirate Radio" is almost the prequel to "This Is England". The entire British Empire is still crumbling in the conservativeness of the 1960s. In terms of temperament, "Pirate Radio" is the British who made Woodstock. Version.
Director Richard Curtis, like Ang Lee, remembers the greatness and immortality of rock music as a pioneer of social reform, while using the indulgence of youth as the banner and the order of carnival as the bottom line, praising the beauty of recording their growth. the 60's. The only difference is that Ang Lee, an outsider, deconstructed the real Woodstock Music Festival in his own way. The more he tried to restore history, the more he revealed his subjective assumptions, who made him just staying by the radio. A Taiwanese student who came to experience the destructive power of rock music. And Richard Curtis, who is in the torrent of the times, carefully created a virtual carrier like "Pirate Radio" in the movie. However, I believe those such as two generations of Taiwan long mast duel, newly married 17 hours farewell wife Details such as seemingly absurd and unruly yet passionate must have true copies of the times.
The greatest joy of watching "Pirate Radio" is when expressing a relatively serious theme. The film uses Mr. Bean's British nonsensical humor. This also makes the DJs in the latter part of the film swear to live and die with the radio and defend the rock "Rock&roll" The dog-blood lines of Wang also became lighter, the Don Quixote-style "I live for music, but now there is no reason to live, I am willing to die for it", which easily made my blood boil and yearn for it. . Another selling point of the film is the great British rock and pop music of the 60s that runs through the film, from classic to no longer classic Skeeter Davis's "The end of the world" to Duffy's "Stay with me" "Baby", a movie about rock music, nothing can incite the viewer's emotions more than the classic music itself.
Frankly speaking, Ang Li can be regarded as a bystander of that era, and we who grew up in China in the closed 80s can only be regarded as a bystander of that era. Even if we can feel the beauty and shock of those classic music, we can only look forward to the passion and illusion of that period through the director's works. In fact, I believe that the exciting and rebellious beauty of this kind of film art must be the product of the director's filtering and beautifying of memories. It’s like hippies who have to wear a tie at the end, and the rock radio’s ship will sink into the sea, but the most enviable thing after watching these works is that, anyway, it’s definitely an age worth remembering. There is indulgence. Only then can I know how far I can go, and only when I have fallen can I better understand what freedom is.
When we can download music from all over the world without relying on radio and black film, do we confirm that we are in the best era? Many times, I am fortunate that I am living in the present, and I can't even imagine what the whole world would be like without computers and internet. What’s even more helpless is that when we look back on the age when we were growing up, it was also a time when the country was impassioned and individuals were disgraced. The details I can think of now are mostly labeled as carefree and not salty. Those who listen to the cassette , Mixing video game halls, and sneaking into the video room are already rare highlights, and these will soon be forgotten by the times because they are being accelerated in the process of industrialization, because no one mentions them.
For our generation, the greatest sorrow is that youth is too late or can’t tolerate rebellion, and it’s almost over.
