Sympathy for the Marketing

Posted : 10 years ago on 19 April 2014 01:30

In anticipation and start somewhere , say that after fifty years of similar gestures and Jagger strutting on stage, only to revive the idea is much closer to boredom to excitement .

If to this is added Scorsese 's documentary about the Stones is - as it can not be otherwise - a documentary "author " , and enter the realm of the absolutely predictable. Beginning with its first ten to fifteen minute , a new sample of very particular histrionics of its director is attending (must be all that will not diminish this man with age) to the point that , for a moment, it is not known if the title of the document is English or group Scorsese himself . However, the narcissist is reserved apotheosis ( what better way to finish the show ? ) For his "brilliant " conclusion. The seal of the house from start to finish . However , it is also recognized that in relation to the conduct in general, the packaging industry , with large staff of highly qualified technicians , as well as its effective staging . Framing, camera movement, etc. , at times simple correction is improved.

Special mention other concessions : what the little speech of Bill Clinton ( the theater seemed to become parish) and Christina Aguilera squeaky paint on stage , even if it was only five minutes per head? As a result , we are impossible to ignore that in USA- not surprising that the public or four inches on its body axis and the first row is taken over by twenties as guapitas as sosonas not wag . Formulas television studio and election campaign. All very calculated and content. Pure marketing.

The musical section not just reserve some surprises . Guess who did not know in person the first time the legendary group - '60 - '70 - or those who have not reached the quarantine can watch the show more leniently because of lack of time perspective . In part , I regret not being able to fit this group and refer , in short, at the beginning of the review . The rollingstoniana performance for the same elapsed time , and out of respect for age and stubbornly apañadita leave her . With its ups and downs and qualitative decibélicos ( here always personal tastes included) : fast followed by another topic rather slow . Among the latter is appreciated the inclusion of " As Tears Go By" . Jagger announces recognizing that a long time since I played " shame " . It is worth to hear one of the most inspired lyrics, a poetic recitation , his musical beginnings. To dare to " Sympathy for the Devil" , but this only leads us to remember that we are many miles , and almost more years of Altamont .

Also review the positive side , the inclusion of brief outages old videos on the group file ( performances and interviews ) , some rather curious. And note that the only thing holding up the weight of the instrument and is good-natured drummer . Still the same humble guy always. Charlie : time is on your side . Pity not count for this occasion with another genius in the shade , bassist Bill Wyman.

A good movie

Posted : 12 years, 4 months ago on 31 December 2011 10:49

To be honest, I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones but since I would watch anything directed by Martin Scorsese, I thought I should check this one out as well. First of all, even though I'm not a fan, I still have the upmost respect for the Rolling Stones and their legacy and I always thought that they are way more interesting than the Beattles who are maybe more popular but ultimately rather boring in my opinion. Anyway, eventually, I thought it was a pretty good concert movie, no more, no less than that. It did help though that Scorsese was calling the shots and thanks to his directing, we got a great intimate visual experience of the Stones live. And even though they are sure getting old, the Rolling Stones are not kidding when they are on stage and I especially enjoyed Mick Jagger who is the ultimate stage performer, in my opinion. Indeed, the guy was constantly in motion, dancing, jumping, shouting to the crowd and it was nothing short of amazing. To conclude, even if it was nothing really amazing, I thought it was still pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are a fan of the Rolling Stones.
