There was a long movie night had closed. In contrast, my recent trips to the "cinoche" greatly disappointed me, but last Saturday night I'm tempted and I was shocked ...
Slumdog Millionaire
The film Cinderella of film awards ceremonies in U.S. this year, Slumdog Millionaire is the story of an Indian boy from the slums around Mumbai who participates in a quiz TV inspired by the success Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? to attract the attention of a girl he is smitten since his childhood. Asked about its ability to respond accurately to questions from the moderator, he recounted several stages of his life.
gem of simplicity, see crudity, Slumdog Millionaire (in French) is an epic as unlikely as it is delicious. No featured in this film directed by Danny Boyle, but a slew of talented young prospects have greatly enjoyed collecting the autographs of Hollywood stars that they have crossed over Red Carpet Golden Globes and Oscars. Funny situation because it is ultimately the troupe Slumdog Millionaire which is mounted on the stage at the Kodak Theatre to receive, among other things, the statuette for best movie of the year.
But beyond the price and success, the film remains a classic. The sentimentality of the film frame and a few stories the component, the power of images, violence and contrasts the fragility of the main characters are all ingredients that score. You'll understand that I am trying here to reveal as little as possible of the plot, this for the avowed purpose encourage you to go to the cinema to watch it (some scenes are indeed breathtaking on the big screen).
In summary, Slumdog Millionaire is a movie to see. The soundtrack is also to listen and listen ...
Dede through the mists
Expectations of this fictionalized account of the life of Andre Fortin, the renowned singer of the legendary band The Naughty, were very high both because the promotion surrounding the film is loud (this who pushed me in the first instance) and because "Dede" is one of the last real idols of Quebec youth.
The story is structured around the writing and recording the album Out November during which Dede through the full range of emotions. His domestic troubles led him to rethink his life to 100 km / h, since his arrival in Montreal in 1985 until the founding of the group, through the eternal chorus of the success of Naughty and death of Pat, harmony and friend. The second part of this feature almost half past two takes us through the intricacies of the slow descent into hell Dede until his suicide in 2000. The
first observation that I'm watching the film is the fact that I'm aware of the Naughty since their songs have marked my youth and adolescence, but in fact I did not know much about them, their background and their musical history. In this chapter the story is interesting because it is not content to float the already known and clichés. We learn as the story progresses. Also, the finish with which the film is colored (comic scenes, cobbled) paid tribute to the world of Dede. Of course, the soundtrack is full of traditional Quebec songs and I tell you that it "swigne" in the projection room at certain times. Dede
But through the fog is also confusing.
disorder process of creating an artist, the price of fame, excess to try to forget, life and death, the 1995 referendum ... many elements of the film hurt. People of my generation will end up, at least in part, in Dede hopeful and full of ideas that will see his dreams shattered one by one, giving way to cynicism and loss of taste for fighting. It is therefore apparent
film amazed by the quality of the product, but shocked. To my part I hope that thousands of young Quebecers see the film and that it will motivate them to go up their sleeves and get active so that their existence is significant and helps to continue fighting and social identity which Dede 's is associated.
And for those of you who are not yet convinced es, yes it is beautiful Sébastien Ricard!
Go, good cinema.
