Scorsese seems to be able to foresee which angle is the best, coupled with the excellent photographers around, so that the lens can always capture every detail of the performance at the most appropriate time and angle down. ——Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Master director brings audiences mesmerized as he brings to life the best rock band on the planet. ——Peter Travers ("Rolling Stone")
With dense cameras and state-of-the-art recording equipment, "Electric Rolling Stone" brings a delightful musical journey that touches the depths of memory and makes people feel the passage of time and time. The years go by and we are saddened. ---Todd Mc Carthy ("Variety")
says that Martin Scorsese hooked up with music documentaries during the smashing "Woodstock 1969" when he was still Not a master, just assistant director plus editing. His later music documentaries were not only famous but also superb, the list included The Last Waltz on The Band, Bob Dylan's No No No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. Now add Shinea Light about the Rolling Stones, not afraid that it will not stand the test, just as no one can ignore the legend the Rolling Stones have created over the past 40 years. It is no exaggeration to say that the songs sung live are worth the money to buy the disc. It doesn't matter if you're not a Rolling Stones fan, just continue to support the old Martin's film career, and later he will make a documentary about the Beatles George Harrison (George Harrison).
The title of the film comes from the Rolling Stones' "Shine a Light" in 1972. The concert scene was two special performances held by the Rolling Stones at the Beacon Theater in New York in 2007. Clinton, who was 60 years old, also gave a speech before the opening. Compared with other documentaries, in "The Rolling Stone", Martin doesn't have many opportunities to play head-to-head with a few old guys. In the first ten minutes, the old man lost his temper, and at the end, he showed his face and asked the photographer to follow up. Those who want to hear gossip and anecdotes may be disappointed, but after countless interviews, it is estimated that the trivial matters of several people have long been exhausted.
The focal point is the concert stage, and there are a large number of songs in the middle without a break. The Rolling Stones' live performance is fresh and not repeated, and even the track arrangement is not told to Martin until the unveiling. Even so, the camera still recorded the wonderful parts of the concert from different angles. The passionate singing on the stage and the mobilized atmosphere off the stage were integrated into one (the IMAX giant screen version was released in the United States), so "Electric Rolling Stone" even more. Like a faithful rock concert record.
"Electric Rolling Stone" also added some time-honored interview clips as an adjustment. The proud young Mick Jagger (Mick Jagger) and others have not yet revealed their ambitions between the words and sentences, but simply wanted to sing. So I sang until I was in my 60s, with wrinkles on my face and blue veins on my hands. In the middle, Mick Jagger sang "As Tears Go By" which was quite touching, with a touch of old songs and new songs. Songs such as "Start Me Up" were performed at the Rolling Stones Shanghai concert, and guests such as Jack White also sang. I won't go into details here, just wait for you to see it (by the way, I recommend the soundtrack of the movie).
