Today we introduce a Finnish/Norwegian film, Heavy Metal Journey.
Title A Band Called Impaled Rektum/Heavy Trip (2018), alias Heavy Metal Tour/Heavy Trip.
This is a comedy film about metal music. Highly recommended for those who love metal music.
People who love comedy movies can watch this film, and people who love metal music must watch this film.
The film is about a metal band at the bottom of a village in Finland, made up of four young men with long hair and a wind that follows the extreme death metal route.
They hid in the basement rehearsal for 12 years, and have been singing the pickpockets, but they don't have their own works, because the style is too extreme, and the other people in the village don't understand them, and even think that they are gay with long hair.
Four young people play the band all by a passion, completely interested, usually they also have serious jobs, the male protagonist is also the lead singer, he is a nursing home cleaner, the blonde guitarist is a reindeer butcher, the bass player is a librarian, the memory is outstanding, the song has never been forgotten, it is called a metal living dictionary, the fat drummer is the most passionate, and spares no effort to recommend the band outward.
It was in such a slightly wasted setting that the underground band in the Finnish village wanted to perform across borders, and they wanted to use "Insert The Rectum" as their band name to step onto the stage of a Norwegian metal concert and prove themselves to metal fans around the world.
As they progress toward their goal, all sorts of hilarious events erupt.
The biggest feeling I got after watching the film was that this was a movie that really understood the hearts of metal fans.
Metal fans are definitely not monsters, and they are definitely not niche, and liking metal is like liking classical pop, it is just a normal hobby.
Through several young people playing metal bands, this film shows the slightly mysterious group of metal music fans, and only people who really love metal music and really understand metal music can make a movie so close to reality.
The whole film is completely tailor-made for metal fans, from the twist of the plot to the presentation of details, are for the metal fans, if according to the standards of the general film, the film is a very complete comedy film, and if according to the standards of metal fans, this film is a specially created for themselves, for the metal fans to speak out of the masterpiece.
Metal music gives people the feeling must be very noisy, very noisy, people who do not understand must not understand the mystery, the same metal music fans give people the feeling of long hair smoke rivets, a faction of arrogant look, in fact, these are like a ritual, music fans in the pilgrimage dress, only the concert scene fans will follow the roar, afterwards everyone is docile.
Just like the band in the film, they are absolutely true love for heavy metal, and they are no different from us ordinary people on weekdays.
The lead singer is tall and handsome, and is just a harmless nurse on weekdays, and it is not good to talk to the girl who has a crush;
The lead guitar works in a slaughterhouse and is flamboyant in appearance, but is very well-behaved in front of his parents;
Bassist memory is excellent, can remember all the songs heard, usually work in the library do not forget to export recommended extreme metal music, when the audience feedback to him "like killing pigs", he said solemnly "is killing sheep", contrast cute, cute explosion;
The drummer has died twice because of physical health problems, really practicing death metal with his life, picking up the drumstick he is the death metal drummer, putting down the drumstick He is a warm and cute little fat man.
Metal music is not understood because it is niche, and this film can justify metal music.
Because of the performance form of metal music, it cannot be considered that people who are engaged in metal music and love metal music are all different, in fact, everyone is the same person, but the things they like are different.
There are also medieval war lovers in the film, a group of old boys who are not too old, playing medieval wars in a big game.
Similarly, these people put on cosplay clothes like middle two otaku, and take off their clothes, everyone is just the same ordinary people.
There is a passage that is not a joke, that is, in Northern Europe, every village has a heavy metal band.
Nordics is a paradise for metal music, especially extreme metal, melodic metal, death metal, power metal emerge in an endless stream, and there are countless temple-level metal bands, such as the Children of Bodom mentioned in the film.
The fundamental reason for the development of Nordic metals is that the society is highly developed, people have money and leisure, and have a lot of time to develop their own hobbies.
The film makes this not-so-stereotyped fact so hard that even the basement of a slaughterhouse can step out of a crazy extreme metal band.
The film's comedy scenes are decent, expanding the nonsense content infinitely, so that everyone can see that a serious Finn plays humor without falling behind, and many bridges can make people laugh.
Originally thought that finns do not smile, then this film gives the stereotype a justification.
The most touching thing about the film is that it spares no effort for the ideal, and many places make people tear up.
If you have loved and paid, you will be moved.
We all know that it is difficult to find a confidant, a soldier dies for a confidant, and how fortunate it is to have a confidant in life.
There are not many people who play metal, and in a small village, you can put together four people to form a band, everyone is like-minded, and it is even more lucky.
No venue has no relationship, developing your own basement as a displacement place, no car has no relationship, finding an old broken truck can drive on the road, no funding does not matter, even if the poor jingle, need to rely on speed cameras to shoot promotional photos, the band is still firmly united.
It is not easy to get a confidant in life, but it is not easy to get four at once, and everyone moves forward for the same goal, and they experience and share the bitterness together, and there are countless touching places in it.
Rock'n'Roll is not just an attitude, a spirit, more than a Love & Peace gesture.
The brothers were unable to participate in the concert due to an accident, and the rest of the people took the brother's coffin to the concert to complete the brother's last wish, and also dedicated a most pure death metal.
People who like metal will naturally have a passion, so if they want to do it, they will do it boldly, and some things are better to leave it for hindsight.
After all, life is only once, and if you have not been crazy, you have not been young, nor have you lived.
Music fans dream to show their confidants, life is worth it,
Tears welled up between laughter, and metal lives on.
