On a fishing boat What can I do? Fishing, swimming, sweeping bird droppings, or hiding in the cabin to vent loneliness? A group of DJs detonated the whole of the UK on a fishing boat! A 24/7, 24/7 sea rock radio station that drives listeners crazy and the government crazy with its AM 203 frequency. Fans are spread all over the country, and every opportunity to get on the boat attracts a frenzy. The government hates it so much that it can't wait to find every way to harmonize it.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a movie that made me so excited. Perhaps it is because of the hormones that have been suppressed for too long in the desolate countryside of Canada, perhaps because of the budding youth that has always been eclipsed by learning and fetters, or perhaps it is because of this that I discovered the normal interest of going away due to harmony. The arrival of the pirate radio ship was bursting with powerful energy.
The 60s, British, rock, radio, anti-government, feminism, humane care, homosexuality, sexual liberation, cigarettes, marijuana... These keywords form the theme line of Pirate Radio. In the name of youth, most of these formerly infamous words turned out to be absolutely true. Who wouldn't want to rock and roll with rock 'n' roll when government officials only promote classical music? Who wouldn't want to cheer for this pirate radio station when the BBC only broadcasts 45 minutes of rock & pop a day? When women find out that they can enjoy sex as well as men, who cares if the big-bellied gentleman with whom they are dating is their Mr. Right? When people's daily life is static and stagnant, who will distinguish whether they are smoking marijuana or being lonely? When marriage and having children are no longer the shackles of people looking for a partner, homosexuality also seems so natural.. Maybe youth should be like this, presumptuous, enjoyment, and pursuit.
Unfortunately, it was an era that could not be returned... The popularity of the iPod made people prefer to immerse themselves in their own music, instead of three or five friends dancing around the radio as in the past; the emergence of the Internet has also given birth to countless otaku houses. Female, there are many narrow-legged trousers, eyebrows and bangs that can make you shine on the street; R&B, Electronic, and hip-hop have long replaced the dominance of rockers. The singer mv is more like an underwear advertisement.. that's called music? Sorry I don't really like it...
Speaking of music, one of the reasons why viola is recommended is its soundtrack. The first time I listened to it before watching the movie, I was not used to listening to the old British style, but when I put them into the movie, the perfect chemical reaction immediately lifted the mood and brought in the elegance of 40 years ago. For these DJs, music is everything. At the end of the film, the protagonist Carl's father, Bob, was obsessed with a box of records when the ship wrecked far more than his pursuit of life; the water poured into the studio, and the Earl was still broadcasting as usual, spinning the record player, turning the music. Into the endless sea...
Rock and roll is beautiful, youth is also beautiful, with the youth of rock, couldn't be better!
