Blissful freedom is not freedom

Unbelievable...not good looking, a bit of a flop as a Richard Curtis curtain call, Love is the theme, sex is just dessert, and the pirates are lost in the intertwining of sex, alcohol, marijuana and rock music In the carnival, even the woman who slept with the brother would not hurt the friendship. All indecent promiscuity was submerged in the pleasure of freedom. Even if the ending was as beautiful as a fairy tale, it could not cover up the overall paleness.

The value of "Pirate Radio" lies in challenging the stereotyped and authoritarian culture, and gaining freedom and liberation in the carnival way of rock music, but it also brings new troubles because of excessive freedom. How can one release one's nature without hurting others? Sex is completely satisfied, but where does love go? Can everyone afford this liberty of debauchery without losing themselves? Sharing the body may not be difficult, but can sharing love be so calm?

Pirate Radio is a utopia. In this utopia, there are no moral constraints. Everything is done for happiness. There are infinite fans who can satisfy everyone's spring dreams. I still miss the guys in "Love Actually" who did everything they could to find true love, everyone in Curtis always gets what they want, but this time it was a bit of a loss.

Rock and roll in the '60s and '70s was the best, no doubt about that. If there is no sex and drugs, rock and roll will not be flashing with charming and charming magic. If there is only sex and drugs, rock and roll will narcotic and destroy people's will. True freedom is not total indulgence, but a balance between wanton and restraint. Freedom is not doing what you want, but being kind to yourself. Freedom is not catharsis, but regression.

The confusion of that era continues today in a different form. The depravity is more fascinating than the enterprising. Especially for the confused young people, the splurge itself has a fatal attraction. However, the beat generation later became the mainstay of society, gradually returning to reality from the lost. People will eventually realize that instead of throwing themselves into the arms of nothingness, it is better to fight for freedom on the ground.

    Not bad, it's pretty good-looking. It's good to incorporate elements of music and rock.

The Boat That Rocked quotes

  • Dave: Sure throwing him in is the best way to get him to learn how to swim?

    The Count: Absolutely.

    Dave: Ok.

    The Count: On second thought, it might just be for kids.

    Angus: I can't touch the bottom!

    The Count: Yeah, that's right. Throw a baby in, it floats. Instinctively, naturally. It's a beautiful thing. I think if you throw in an adult, doesn't work that way.

    Angus: Goodbye!

  • Quentin: Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you prefer?

    Thick Kevin: Good news.

    Quentin: Okay. The good news is the engine has exploded and we're all going to die.

    Dave: Hello, Dr Dave, Radio Rock. How is that good news?

    Quentin: I haven't yet told you how we're going to die. That's the bad news.

    Simon: How are we gonna die?

    Quentin: We're going to drown in the freezing waters of the North Sea.

    Felicity: Dearie me.

    Quentin: There is a huge hole in the side of the boat and in an unfortunate development, it transpires that the lifeboats are useless.

    Thick Kevin: [to Angus] Actually, that's quite good for you, isn't it? 'Cause you can't swim, so you'll die quicker.

    Quentin: Sorry.
