Musical nods to cinema
One of the postmodern by definition audiovisual genres, and has also influenced its forms and language in contemporary cinema, is the genre of music. But the influence is mutual, because there are plenty of bands that have found great film aesthetics, the concept or the language they cried out one of their songs.
And Binaural is a site dedicated to music, step by detailed examples. They are all that are but are not all they are, for obvious reasons. Let me comment with others who may have forgotten or simply do not know. Thank you. The final results, as you will see, are unequal. Some hints are actually realized, others caught with tweezers.
The last thing I discovered is the new video from the British Lower Than Atlantis, 'If The World Was To End', in which the singer of the quartet live in a big farce, as the good of Truman Burbank in The Truman Show ( 1998), with hidden cameras in every corner of your house broadcasting his life 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In the case of the actor come to singer and vice versa, the handsome but disturbing Jared Leto, analogies with past and blockbusters are always constant. Starting with the video of the song 'The Kill (Bury Me)' for its 30 seconds to mars, inspired by that great work of psychological terror that is The Shining (1980). What would Stanley Kubrick adaptation of the service of the guitar pop star of Requiem for a Dream?
In 'From Yesterday', however, the record was also left with another blockbuster quarter reminiscent of The Last Emperor (1987) by Bernardo Bertolucci - with a bit of The Last Samurai? -, Which won nine Oscars.
We parked at Leto, movie buff as they come, to remember the fascination of Taking Back Sunday by The Fight Club (1999), based on the novel by one of the favorite writers of our beloved Paul Porcar: Chuck Palahniuk. The choice, assembly and characterizations to the sidelines, it seems brutal, with the duo Nolan and Lazarra perfectly embodying this love-hate relationship successfully performed by two large, such as Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. Confirm time, with the departure of Nolan Group of New Jersey, that their relationship was untenable.
Jimmy Eat World, meanwhile, "rent" the terrible twins of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), the great unknown and misunderstood by its narrator satire in the vein of the much better-Bigfish tied with a cast led by Gene brutal Hackman, Danny Glover, Bill Murray, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow and Owen Wilson, among many other faces blockbuster films.
We return to horror with Rival Schools. And in his long-awaited second surprised us with a free version but not less interesting than The Exorcist (1973) in the music video of 'Wring it out'.
In this review could not miss them, my Foo Fighters. Because Grohl and company curran many video clips and, above all, because some are clear allusions to movies known to all. From 'Learn To Fly' in which 'land such as' to your last hitazo, 'Walk', with Dave Grohl has nothing to envy the mismísmo Michael Douglas in Falling Down (1992), this film Joel Schumacher which the character of William Foster loses control literally.
A film that has made very much to "viejóvenes" of my generation is The Goonies (1986), and there are many groups who have found inspiration in this charming film. From the album title The Ataris So Long Astoria-population in which the story unfolds the gang-to video clip of Set Your Goals, loosely based on the immortal phrase "Goonies never say die" inside the cave . Oops! Sorry for the spoiler!
