May 1st long holiday recommendation movies, do not engage in little love, little love, little freshness, and do not come to thriller and suspense adrenalin, recommend ten classic punk movies. There are documentaries, there are biographical films, and there are works of pure fiction. When watching a movie, try to get out of the moment for a short while, don’t worry, don’t panic, please experience the most direct emotions like a punk, smash the piano, hoarse your voice, and stare straight at the hole of nothingness. Do this, and I wish you the feeling of being alive again after the long vacation.
1. A Band Called Death (2012)
Death was an all-black punk band that was active in Detroit in the 1970s, and that alone was a rarity. The Hackney brothers made their debut years before "The Ramones" debuted. The name they gave the band was also avant-garde, "very white," forgetting the color of their skin and approaching "The Who."
The band's soul, David Hackney, died young, but his spirit lived on for the rest of the two brothers' careers. In 2009, the band's collection For The Whole World To See was republished, the New York Times featured them, the tour began, and a new album was released.
Punk always has a sense of fragility that would rather be broken than broken. "Death" may seem extra tough because it's all black. Descendants of the members even formed a new band called "Rough Francis" to ensure that the songs of their fathers would continue to be sung.
2. Sid and Nancy (1986)
Based on the story of The Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious, Gary Oldman couldn't be as good as Gary Oldman despite his efforts to starve himself. visers. Chloe Webb's Nancy combines blond baby and blond beauty to such an extreme that it's almost unbearable.
This pair of lovers needs a needle before kissing, and rushes to the end on the road of depravity. When the rest of the "Sex Pistols" complained about Sid to band manager Malcolm McLaren, McLaren smiled and said, "Sid is not just a bass player, he's a terrific disaster. He's a symbol, a metaphor, the face of the Void Generation." In a nutshell: Sid Vishers is the "Sex Pistol."
3. The Decline of Western Civilization (1981)
In the 1970s, the future that young people in the West saw was bleak. They see the decline of civilization on the street corner, and they rush to the end of the carnival. Filmed during the transition period of the 1970s and 1980s, the documentary takes aim at the punk scene in Los Angeles. The most impressive was the office tour of punk magazine Slash. Every employee is gorgeous, the men are all like Gregory Peck and the women are different. Punk opposes glamour, punk thinks life is meaningless, maybe beauty itself is meaning.
4. What We Do is Secret (2007)
What it was like for The Germs frontman Darby Clash to die at 22, we've forgotten. The biographical film "We Only Sing Punk" recruited Shane West to play him. Because of his acting and singing so well, West, the former lead singer of the punk band, became the new lead singer of "Bacteria" and accompanied the team Complete a tour.
The movie is a glorified version of the true story, and the original story is uglier. Darby Kleish's death on screen is also inferior to Ian Curits and Sid Vessers in terms of portraying the death of punk. Darby hurried to his death as if in a daze, and Curtis and Vishers were martyred. Darby was easily replaced and mediocrely and beautifully "resurrected", but he did exist.
5. "Suburbia" (Suburbia, 1997)
Small town youth are so annoying. They are empty, incompetent, racist, incompetent, and unwilling to stay at home, but go out in droves, like locusts everywhere. To escape the fate of endless television, stealing food from cold storage to grill, and putting the head of a pet rat in their mouth, they formed a band called The Rejected. They deny the meaning of family and see each other as family, but none of this can last long.
6. The Blank Generation (2007)
The film is only 55 minutes long and consists of a bunch of precious performance pictures. Whether it is a later legend or a meteor, the camera treats punks equally. Black and white images, demo textures, and intentional sound and picture are not unified, expressing a tribute to No Wave. There is almost no language, just music mixed with lots of ambient sounds.
If this is also aesthetically pleasing (it does), it just means that all people, including directors and filmmakers, had a vision for the future when it happened. In a trance, they stood in the future and quietly watched themselves in the past, allowing the rough and violent to produce the unique warmth and rationality of old things.
7. 24 Hour Party People (2002)
Anthony Wilson's "Factory" label hatched Joy Division and later a new version, New Order. This musical biopic takes place from Wilson's point of view, where tension comes from the fringe "factory" not allowing itself to be swallowed up by the London music industry. Wilson's idealism manifested itself in splitting earnings with artists, taking contracts that were barely binding on them. But Wilson succeeded. The Hacienda club he ran became home to New Order and a slew of bands, as well as the Manchester rave scene.
There are a lot of details in the film that only experts understand, but there is also an atmosphere that everyone can feel. When one person's dream is also everyone's dream, it will give birth to such an atmosphere.
8. The Punk Rock Movie, 1978
The UK version of "Dazed Generation" is edited from first-hand footage with worrying pixels and sound quality. Not only are these images dangerous, they also smell bloody. Someone smashed a pig's head on the stage and threw the scraps under the stage. Punks are like little kids competing to see who's more outrageous and who's offended. Today, their looks and behavior are more outstanding than music, so today punk music is in decline, and seventies dress is still sought after.
9. The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1980)
As a spinoff of "The Sex Pistols," the film's lineup included Sid Vishers, Malcolm McLaren, and Steve Jones, plus a bunch of band footage, and that's about it. But some people think it's the best punk movie because it's real. The truth here is not the accuracy of history, but the truth of the punk spirit. It is the most offensive to punk of all such films, daring to point out that these young men were not there for martyrdom, but for fame and fortune. It was Malcolm McLaren himself who said that, not some old-fashioned heart-corrupted hatred.
McLaren teaches kids to laugh at hippies as "old shit", Jones walks into the movie theater to watch the film, Sid performs a crazy version of "My Way" and shoots the audience (including his own mother) in the audience . They devised a plan to make the public fall in love with themselves first, then hate, and then love. Such ravages of the public's emotions have shaped its own legend and earned a lot of money.
10. "We are the best! (We Are The Besrt!, 2013)
If the place of birth needed to be decided by lottery, the three 13-year-old girls were drawn to the top lottery - a small town in Stockholm, Sweden, with an enlightened atmosphere, a wealthy life, and "there is the most interesting cloud in the world". The time was 1982, and one of the little girls' brother told them that punk was dead.
The story of the girl punk band tells us that rebellion is an inherent gene of human beings, and it exists in a certain proportion in no matter which group of people. The reason for the little girls' rebellion may be trivial, because "hate sports". After that, the situation escalated. They set fire, littered, protested "capitalism" in supermarkets, and reached the limit of a girl of this age. Neither music nor behavior is more advanced or mature, both are part of growth, or the pinnacle.
