The classic "Titanic" that year could not be more classic earned a large number of tears from the audience, and the touching love between Jack and the flesh in it also added a bleak beauty to the shipwreck.
The film we introduce this time also takes place on a ship, and the final fate of that ship is like that of titanic.
But unlike this, this film is not sad and depressing, but is full of surging passion from beginning to end:
Pirate Radio
The ranking squeezed into the Douban movie Top250, with a high score of 8.6, is considered better than 92% of music films, better than 96% of comedies, and can be called a comedy version of titanic.
Someone even called for:
Five stars is simply not enough, should play six stars!
Such a high evaluation is because there is a strong production team behind it:
Richard Curtis, who directed True Love Supreme and wrote the screenplay for Notting Hill, was the director of the film, and the film's producer, Tim Bewan, also produced for Mr. Bean's Golden Week.
Coincidentally, Bill Nye, who played Captain Octopus in Pirates of the Caribbean, also played the role of captain in the film.
This time he changed into a slim and fashionable suit, always with a riotous silk scarf around his neck, not inferior at all in a group of bohem rock DJs, but cool and handsome to the top!
The film takes place in the 1960s, when I was not yet born.
But I heard the name of the Beatles in English textbooks,
I have also tried to read Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" in an impassioned tone,
and the famous warrior Che Guevara, who fought tirelessly in the name of freedom.
As @September said:
It was a revolutionary age, and there has never been a revolution in history as fascinating as it has been, and it may not be again.
In 1966, the style of radio on the British mainland was as follows:
A dj who cares about her health, a "family service committee" who mainly serves farmers and friends, and a "picnic committee" that does not know what to do.
At the time, British rock was in its heyday, and BBC radio only played less than 45 minutes of pop music a day, without any sense of vitality.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
When night falls, when bored people read the newspaper and drink wine ready to fall asleep, there is a group of rock lovers who continue to explore spiritual freedom under the cover of darkness.
They are the pirate radio station Radio Rock
Radio Rock Pirate Radio, which features a ship anchored in the North Sea, is a signal tower that emits "free" radio waves in the sea and plays rock and pop music 24 hours a day.
When pregnant, in the shower, in the workplace, more than half of the Britons are waiting for their show every day.
It is called Pirate Radio because they revere the same rebellious, free, and debauched spirit as pirates.
But they don't rely on force to plunder other people's belongings like pirates, they just rely on a music called "rock" to conquer the ears and hearts of their listeners.
A team of about a dozen people brought listeners a feast of different styles at different times.
Dave, who is humorous and funny, Conte, who is enthusiastic, Midnight Mark, who barely speaks on the show and relies solely on music, and Gavin, who can make people's ears pregnant by talking alone.
They perform their duties and live together as harmoniously as family.
Sunbathe together in their spare time, play basketball together on the deck, and occasionally do some small pranks.
At Christmas and when Simon gets married, he also broadcasts live on the radio to share these beautiful moments with the listeners and fans.
I think this may be the originator of the live broadcast session.
Of course, they are definitely not the kind of "good kids".
He would say dirty words at the beginning of "F" on the radio broadcast, burst out all kinds of yellow strips while enjoying breakfast, and smoke and drink.
Except for One Lesbian who is responsible for providing food, who is a woman, the ship is full of adult men, so once a week, every DJ will have a chance to invite a girl to the boat for a passionate and in-depth exchange.
There is no harm without comparison, some sought-after DJs are surrounded as soon as the girls get on the boat, and some DJs can only hide away from reading and chatting, spending a sexless afternoon alone.
Although not very rude, every time I saw the embarrassed expression of the rest of the crew, I couldn't help but laugh at my aunt.
In a sense, this is also part of the pirate spirit, who exudes more charm, can get more eyes.
They enjoy the affection of many avid fans, but also attract the attention of the government authorities.
In contrast to liberal fervor, the royal government is the representative of an authoritarian dictatorship.
Riding in a luxury car, wearing a suit and leather shoes, the main concern every day is how to rectify the popular pirate radio.
Don't like to see the masses — freedom, the whole meaning of government — and if you see anything unpleasant, simply make a new law to make him illegitimate.
It's that simple and crude.
Look at the excited expression on the face of the head of government when he mentioned that he was going to do damage.
Soon they devised a series of measures to interfere with the normal operation of the pirate radio:
Squeeze the advertising benefits of radio stations and make them lose money;
Find a spy to blend in with the fan audience of sightseeing to conduct reconnaissance;
It was even enacted the "Maritime Offensive Operation", which banned all pirate radio stations, including Radio Rock, as illegal stations.
These small moves did create many obstacles for them, and the government's ultimatum seemed to mean that the closure of pirate radio became an inevitable event.
But know that it was an era of self-pursuit, especially in the ship that represented free will.
Conte held the microphone in his hand and said a final goodbye to the twenty million listeners, and the men and women in front of the radio all had frozen expressions and tears in their eyes.
However, when Conte counted down 3, 2, and 1, after a few seconds of silence, he shouted
“Only kidding，dudes. Let’s rock!”
All the listeners immediately cheered as if they were alive, releasing their previous uneasiness in rock 'n' roll.
And the government official who was holding the champagne and originally thought that he had the victory was angry and scolded after the fierce punch in the face, completely without his usual calm self-sustaining.
In the end, Radio Rock evaded the government's calculations, but collided during the voyage.
The engines were destroyed, and the old hull sank into the North Sea in a matter of hours, moving its nautical position to make rescue more difficult.
"What follows is a long song and I wish I could stay here all the time."
Watching the sea continue to pour into the cabin, all the vinyl records and disks were submerged in the water.
Under the darkness of the night, looking at the vast North Sea, the huge hull seems to be worthless.
Just as everyone was gathering on deck, smoking the last cigarette and waiting for Death to come, countless ships gathered toward Radio Rock.
The people the crew loved, and the people who loved the pirate radio, drove one boat after another, bringing hope to "rock" to life.
Pirate Radio wrestles with the Royal Government, combining the spirit of piracy and rock'n'roll.
They strive to bring beautiful music and joy to everyone in all kinds of rules and regulations.
And these spirits really influenced the thinking of that generation, and director Richard Curtis grew up listening to these independent radio stations.
It is said that the little boy who appears at the beginning of the film, hiding the radio under his pillow and secretly listening to the radio, is the director himself when he was a child.
Richard Curtis can be said to be a tribute to that era of freedom through film.
As @Thinking Cat says:
This ship of freedom has built a utopian world for people.
When watching too many films depicting the dystopia of the future, how can you not be thrilled by the rock and roll utopian kingdom that uses its voice to make up countless individuals?
