The most classic 15 rock movie in history.
1, rock around the clock) 1956.
It may be the first real rock movie in the world, and it is also the first time that the word rock has been used in movies. From today's perspective, it is actually similar to a documentary, because the plot in the film is almost negligible, and the lines are just the foreshadowing of music. Its real significance lies in bringing together the live performances of the earliest musicians and singers in rock music, and using these craziness to induce more craziness in the real world, which is caused by the crazy performances of bill haley and "Comet".
2. Mysterious train (1989)
Jim jarmusch's film works, this film can better reflect its spiritual essence than many Elvis Presley's own films.
3. jimi hendrix-Experience the Electric Ladies Paradise 1970.
Jimi hendrix's untimely death made music critics think that it was one of the most important losses in rock music in the19th century. His psychedelic guitar skills, combining personal aura with music, touched the audience and turned the guitar strings into human tongues, which made people laugh and shed tears. Today, this VCD of "Electric Lady's Paradise" was made into a video recording of jimi hendrix's autobiography, which was included in Hendricks' performance. The serious attitude in music production is completely divorced from time and space. I have also interviewed many people in the music industry, such as Steve Windwood, Eddie Kramer (he is the recording engineer of the album Electric Paradise), and Chas Chandler, the manager of the bassist Hendrix of Animals. From their speeches, they all spoke highly of this genius, which shows that they are from the heart. In VCD, of course, Hendricks' live performance is indispensable. On the stage, he was fascinated by the input, including the watchtower, the eyes of gypsies, the traffic across the town, the chill of voodoo ..................................................................................................................................... In today's world, no guitarist has this ability; This electric lady's land must be the collection of Hendricks fans, even one of his music library directors; Even if you are unfamiliar with this name, you can learn more about him from this VCD. This is a compulsory music class, and the topic is: jimi hendrix.
4.Jai Jaihouse Rock) 1957
Elvis Presley, one of the most typical rock movies, describes a restless boy who was addicted to rock in prison, became a rock star after he got out of prison, and later became a big star who was greedy for money and lost his closest friends. There are countless bad movies of Elvis Presley, at least one that really describes rock music itself. His appearance is really exciting.
5. Don't look back (1967)
This documentary is a faithful record of Bob Dylan 1965 tour in England. Peng Nebeker, the director, clearly showed the difference with The Beatles at that time. Compared with the night of suffering in the same period, Never Looking Back is more direct and profound. It doesn't flatter its subject like a star, and even makes no secret of deliberate ridicule. However, no matter how calm the lens is, it can't hide the brilliant light of young Dylan. Compared with the old Dylan now, the young Dylan is incomparably arrogant, witty and full of passion, and the opening of a passage with allen ginsberg, a representative of the trans-faction, is even more precious.
6. velvet goldmine 1998
The film reproduces the scene of British gorgeous rock in the early 1970s. Brian Slade, a gorgeous rock star whose stage name is Maxwell Demon, predicted that he would die on the stage. When his assassination scam was exposed, his star career came to an end. 10 years later, Arthur Stuart, a British journalist who used to be a Slade fan, will publish an article entitled "What the hell happened? Articles. The film immediately turns to multi-clue mode, showing Brian Slade's life and career from many angles, including his bisexual experience with his wife Mandy Slade and crazy American singer Kurt Wilder. Interestingly, ewan mcgregor, who was born in England, played a native American rock singer in this film. His explosive singing inspired the British gorgeous rock singer in the film, and they developed a period of friendship. Another leading actor, a reporter from the new york Times, also explored his desires through the changes in his youth. In the play, ewan mcgregor not only has a tearful relationship with each protagonist, but even performed a hot story in the middle of singing at three o'clock on the stage. I think this is also the place where he is completely different from ordinary idol stars. He is not limited to his own performance, and naturally he does not stick to his own image.
7. Woodstock 1970
This is almost the most famous rock documentary in the history of music, recording the music myth of hippie era. If you listen to rock and don't know this, then you ...
8. Wall (1982)
One of the best and most famous rock movies. From 65438 to 0979, the legendary British rock band Pink Floyd released ——The Wall, one of the most classic works in the history of rock music, which is a semi-autobiographical work created by roger waters, the soul of the band, based on his own experience. With the concept of "wall", this album expresses the fear of war (roger waters's father died in World War II), the accusation of numbness of human nature and the description of the dark side of society. After the release of the album, it caused great repercussions not only in the rock music world, but also in the whole western cultural world. Two years later, the famous British director Aaron Parker decided to put it on the screen. He invited bob geldof, the lead singer of the British band Boomtownrats, to play Pink, the leading role of the film, and used a lot of film expression techniques-montage and animation, which conveyed the theme of the record very well (of course, the director himself understood it). Not only that, the sound expression of the film caused a great shock, and there was no dialogue in the whole film. All the songs of Pink Floyd in the double album The wall (and some songs that did not appear in the album appeared in the film) are used as the media to promote the development of the film plot, just like a feature-length music video. It can be said that the appearance of this film directly triggered the upsurge of music video. In addition, the way of making movies has also caused filmmakers to follow suit. However, if you don't know enough about the profile of western young people after the war and the content of the record itself, you may not understand the film easily. It is worth mentioning that Aaron Parker filmed Ai Weita (Mrs. Peron, starring Madonna) based on the musical Fifteen Years Later, and there is still no dialogue in the whole movie.
9. Sid and Nancy) 1986.
Although Sex Pistols are not the best punk band, they are the most famous punk band. Sid and Nancy tells the story of the capricious love relationship between Sid Vicious, the guitarist of this legendary band, and Nancy Spangan, his American girlfriend, and the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet. The director objectively depicts these two marginal people at the bottom of the social food chain: their rudeness and pain, their sensitivity and self-injury, but they seem impossible to destroy themselves. After that dangerous trip to America, the "sex pistol" finally disintegrated, and Sid was still under the control of poisonous snake addiction. He tried to start his personal development, but it was found that Nancy was stabbed to death on the floor one morning and Sid was arrested for murder. Their tragedy just confirms a song of punk band "Circle Bastards"-"Love Killer". The relationship between courtney love and kurt cobain is often compared with the relationship between Nancy and Sid, and courtney love happens to play a small role in this film. Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb used convincing acting skills to clearly show the immature, hurtful and disgusting side of the relationship between Sid and Nancy to the audience. They were determined to get rid of any bondage and their love was so sad that they even sobbed. Filth and Fury in 2000 is an excellent documentary about the band Sex Pistol, which is true, objective, passionate and quite enjoyable.
10, American graffiti) 1973
It's amazing that george lucas, the director of Star Wars series, can shoot such fresh and lovely sketches. The film stars Harrison Ford. The story is set in a small town in America in the summer of 1962. It describes the lives of several high school students who graduated overnight, and reflects the thoughts and feelings of American young people who lived a comfortable life on the eve of the Vietnam War. It quoted a lot of American rock music from 1950s as background music, such as bill haley's rockaroundtheclock. It should be said that it is appropriate. This film is george lucas's most profound work-I don't understand why Americans talk so much about movies suitable for children, such as Star Wars-American style paintings are much better than Star Wars.
1 1, Trainspotting 1996.
This film is adapted from Irving Welsh 1993, a best-selling novel of the same name. The cost is only $2.5 million and the shooting time is 49 days. It became the focus of public opinion as soon as it came out. Not only is this low-budget movie extremely detailed in its description of poisonous snake smoking, but it is also because of its depravity-critics in London said that this movie makes people want to "try poison with their own hands". Of course, the film director denies it. He thinks that the painful description of drug addiction in the back of the film is very objective.
In fact, the attitude of the whole film is indifferent rather than objective. The film takes the first person as the narrative angle, fully unfolds the plot in the protagonist's narrative, and hides the film's position; However, in the already loose structure, the narrative is terminated at will and comments, analysis and even memories across time and space are added; This purely subjective technique is not only refreshing, but also very consistent with the tone of the film, so that it has been adopted repeatedly in future films of the same type, almost becoming a fixed model. The film begins with the preface of the protagonist Litton: "... big TV, fitness equipment, Ford car, nine to five ... too many choices." What do you choose? I choose not to choose. " Wide-angle lens followed, with city street view and IggyPop music.
The film begins with the real life of a small group of decadent young people headed by Leighton: doing nothing all day, wandering around, fighting, drinking and picking up girls, taking drugs; Gathered at the railway side to bet on the passing time of the next train to kill time, and raised a baby who didn't know who his father was. They are satisfied with this decadent life, but they don't want to change the status quo and evade all norms and responsibilities. They are all go-vern-mentalists and users of poisonous snakes. The accidental death of a baby after a group drug abuse strongly stimulated everyone who might be the father; Prompted Raton to make up his mind to give up drugs after countless failures. Just as he successfully got rid of drugs and started a normal life, violent enthusiast Bobby found him with his old partner, Litton, and let him participate in a huge drug trafficking activity. In the end, Raton stole the money from drug trafficking and disappeared into the crowd.
In the film, Litton was in a trance after taking too much viper, and the process of fainting in the street was treated with romantic high-speed photography. The background is accompanied by LoudReed's quiet "OnePerfectDay", which describes the pleasure after taking drugs. The subsequent detoxification process is expressed by surrealism, and the sensory stimulation consists of noisy electronic music and extremely discordant pictures. In sharp contrast to the previous paragraph. These descriptions are grotesque and true, which can be called classic pens.
Leiden's partner shouted at the silent railway: "Scotland, Scotland, this is the ugliest place in the world." Others laughed at him-this is the post-modern "angry youth", who exiled himself in a nightmare life and no longer established any spiritual father. Trainspotting, with its cool ironic tone, true narrative attitude, black humor throughout and modern sound and picture processing, has become a classic in other films. Because of the values and self-awareness expressed in it, it has aroused great concern and debate. In a series of alternative films in the future, almost all of them have its shadow. No wonder some people say, "The whole Nowhere (an American alternative film) is not as good as Five Minutes in Trainspotting."
12, door) 199 1+0 year.
This is a movie that I personally like very much-of course it has something to do with the director. I'm a big fan of Oliver Si Tong, and I'm also a big fan of The Gate and its lead singer jim morrison (jim morrison). Oliver Si Tong and jim morrison are alumni of UCLA Film Academy. While jim morrison was alive, Si Tong read his own plays to Jim. In the early 1980s, Si Tong came up with the idea of putting the story of Jim and the Door Band on the screen. This wish didn't come true until Si Tong finished Born on the 4th of July. After he announced that he would make the film, many male movie stars competed to play the leading role of Jim. When shooting this film, Si Tong took a different approach, intercepted several fragments of Jim's life, did not stick to historical facts completely, and even used some surreal techniques (such as the old Indian who died in car accidents many times) to express the legendary experience of Jim and the Gate band, and achieved good results. Si Tong was worthy of the title of movie master, and he grasped the atmosphere and rhythm of the film just right. Fang Kimmer's performance is also excellent. In order to play this controversial role well, he not only studied the performance methods seriously, but also studied the poems and songs of Jim and the band, realized the role seriously and even imitated Jim's every move. It should be said that he portrayed the role incisively and vividly, not only in appearance, but also in spirit (even if he has never seen a movie, people who have only seen stills will agree with me). The price Fang Kimmer paid for this was that he couldn't get rid of his role for a long time after the filming. This film, like other works by Si Tong, caused great controversy after screening, but its artistic value is beyond doubt. This movie also proves that Fang Jinmo and meg ryan (who play Pamela, Jim's wife) will not only play silly roles like those in Top Gun.
13, tears are singing (yes) 1979
This is a biographical film about Janice Joplin, the greatest woman in the history of rock music. It was embarrassing for the producer to let Betty Midler, who looks similar and is also a singer, play the short life of the legendary actress. Betty Midler's performance should be said to be in place. In addition to quoting a lot of JanisJoplin songs in the film, Betty Midler also shines in the film. The soundtrack album of the film is very popular, including a song "Therose" (Rose), which is perhaps the most touching song in the history of rock music.
14, groupies) 1982
This is a rock movie that can swing and dance wildly without knowing the story and director! The old story: the girl dreams of idolize, the girl's mother is unemployed, the family is in crisis, the girl takes part in a singing contest, the girl meets the boy, the boy loses the girl, and the boy wins back the girl's heart. The director shows the magical ability to control genre movies, and the youthful rock atmosphere of the whole movie is like the musical version of Dancing Hero. You must not miss it if you love rock and roll!
15, give me asylum) 1970
1969 Four months after Woodstock Music Festival, a shooting incident happened, which was far less famous than the former, but it was not uncommon in terms of significance and achievements. The film recorded the event. This band can be said to be the terminator of 60' s rock and roll. Of course, its surface phenomenon is 196965438+ February. At that time, the Rolling Stones, which had a large number of fans in the United States, held a free concert in Odemond, California, USA. On that day, 400,000 spectators came to the scene, but the tragedy still happened. Wild one, who was hired to keep order, staged a violent scene at the concert, and an audience member was hunted down. This documentary, also known as "Let me hide", records the most precious moments of the Rolling Stones and the fierce figures of the "Hell Angels". Originally, it was to maintain order, but in the end it got into a fight with some viewers, which made the great myth of love and peaceful assembly in the 1960 s collapse instantly. Because of these extremely real shots, this film is of extraordinary importance in rock literature.
