Although I have not yet visited John. The original novel of John Niven, but only from Irving. Owen Harris (Owen Harris) adapted the movie "Kill Your Friends", it is not difficult to see that the original author used a cruel killing (not murder) to open "Who killed you?" Creative?" The main story of this story. Especially in the 1990s, which most people are familiar with, an age of British rock and roll that was deified and thought to be capable of overwhelming; you may not have discovered that the scene of the story was actually set after 1997 before Blur That song "Beetlebum" turned out.
The record company A&R (artist and repertoire) starring Nicholas Hoult; let me explain the position and role of A&R first. It is a department under a record company that specializes in excavating and training singer orchestras; this role is often between record companies and artists, helping the company (or artists) to achieve commercial success, and it is probably the role of Bole in the general population. Obviously, Stelfox, played by Nicholas Holt, is only a second-rate product in that prosperous world; in an era when everyone wants to get a share of the pie, there is nothing more popular than getting a job at a record company.
The classic quote in the movie: "Destroy your enemies, crush your enemies, and enjoy the wailing from their women." The enemy here, on the surface, is every member of the record company from top to bottom, competitors in the same industry, and fans. An independent orchestra that is not popular but self-esteem. A&R often takes the company’s interests as the best interests, and then the personal reputation; at the lowest level of the food chain are the exploited composers, artists and orchestras. In other words, in the entire industry, people who can really call the wind and rain often only care about their own interests. Music is at best a commodity, and more often it will be abandoned in the office trash and recycling bins.
Darren, who plays Stelfox’s assistant in the film, is the melancholy boy Craig Robert in "First Love Submarine"; the change in attitude seen from him is the best portrayal of a drunken fan. (The author almost didn’t recognize him.) At the end of the film, he tells Stelfox’s most plausible saying: "Destroy your enemies, crush your enemies, and enjoy the wailing from their women." This is undoubtedly the most stupid ending of this black farce. . However, the facts are in front of us. People who want to survive in this ever-changing industry do not necessarily rely on A&R (Parker-Hall) expertise, but rather know how to grasp the know-how and grasp the handle of the opponent.
Parker-Hall (played by Tom Riley) has an interesting dialogue with Stelfox in the play. Parker-Hall asked Stelfox if he still remembers the first record he bought in his life? Parker-Hall’s answer was: "The Cutter" by Echo and The Bunnymen, and clearly stated the correct release year; but in order to survive and survive in this industry, you must have a better answer , Such as Duran Duran's "Rio". Parker-Hall relied on his personal characteristics, experience, professionalism and acumen to reach the position of record A&R; on the contrary, Stelfox is the survivor and winner of the struggle for power who killed you.
Since the 1990s is used as the story setting, it is not surprising that a large number of works by fans such as Oasis, Blur, The Chemical Brothers, and Radiohead are used in the play. When we cherish the memory of the beautiful value of an era, we often don’t fully understand the fame and wealth that seem to be available at our fingertips. Like every corner of society, we are full of obliterating conscience and ideals and bowing our heads to reality; "Ruban/Kill Your Friends" is just a magnifying glass.
