*ROCK 'N' ROLL HEADPHONE WARNINGS*

Let me tell you, if I had seen this when it first came out, high school Romania would have been OBSESSED! And it's still a fabulous, quirky coming-of-age story about acceptance, perseverance when up against the odds, and just the wild and wacky randomness of adolescence and all its rough edges.

Jason N, you did good on this one! Thank you for the commission!

Comments

Jason N

This movie is such a vibe. I agree with lot of the comments in the after discussion. It's very disorienting at the start and takes a minute to get into the headspace for but once you do it really hooks you. I feel like it's even better on a rewatch once you know what to expect and always puts a smile on my face. Couple things I really appreciate about the movie. I love how authentic and lived in everything is. Just about every shot and location feels like a real place where real people live. There's no big central conflict and no fake drama between the characters. There was a comment early on about close friends having arguments. The "fight" between Kei and Rinko feels like type of thing me and friends in HS may have where you make up randomly shortly after and then pretend never was a thing. The short interaction before the final performance you can feel was a turning point in that fight. The actual antagonist of the movie being an overall lack of sleep haha. The Blue Hearts are a relatively popular Japanese Punk band from the late 80s early 90s, Linda Linda was probably the song that had some breakthrough in the west but they have some bangers. They were pretty popular because of their mix of appearance vs having pretty uplifting lyrics. The lyrics of the final song of the movie "An Endless Song" in particular I feel is perfect for the movie's ending. Teacher played such a supportive role from the background despite never getting directly involved with what was going on The final song with all the shots of the empty school as they played in the gymnasium feels straight out of the Bocchi finale Shout out to Macky for shooting his shot, my guy learned Korean for that confession. An A for effort but F for execution lol. A subtle thing I also liked from that scene was although he was confessing in Korean a lot of times she did not really understand him and despite her native language replied to him in Japanese. Couple fun behind the scenes facts - Outside of the actress who played the bassist Nozomi (Shiori Sekine) none of the cast had any musical background. They learned how to play the songs and perform specifically for the film. - They also released an album of their covers around the initial release of the movie and did a few live performances afterwards. You can find one of Youtube. - Shiori Sekine got her start in music similar to the movie as she and several friends formed a band in high school to perform for their school festival (Base Ball Bear). She had no prior experience playing the bass before joining the band. They ended up signing to a major record label after HS and are still together and performing to this day. - Bae Doona did not really speak Japanese before starring in Linda Linda Linda, she learned most of it from this movie and another film she stared in shortly after in Japan. She's worked with a lot of big name directors in South Korea, Japan, and the US.

Loved the reaction and discussion! So great to rewatch for the first time with a remastered release! 🥰 Various things I loved: The ever suffering teacher just existing 😆 “When they’re good, you read faster!” Yes, loved all the set design, as well! That tiny scene of Son and Kei trying to communicate on the bench, that was so realistic. The drama of the one landline in the house! 😆 “Oh look, Blue Lock is here!” 🤣 Love that you recognised Bae Doona from As One! She’s such an amazing actor! 🥰 “We always meet at the incinerator!” 🤣 The absolute reality of... some sleep would be the best thing for you to do, but the anxiety won’t ever let you. 😭 Now themes of resistance?! Of course! 😆 Most of all, I loved the way we got such a realistic and loving glimpse into these girls’ lives, and the way they were all resisting being absorbed and subsumed by various expectations, in a way that just softly floated past us. ‘Everything’ was against them really (time, language barrier, music skills, the WEATHER), but they persisted anyway! 🥰 To them it wasn’t about defeating anyone, or winning a competition, or fulfilling a “romance plot,” or even getting 'better.' They just wanted to do what they wanted to do. I adore this sweet film! 🥰 Thank you to Jason N for another amazing commission! 🥰 Looking forward to everything coming up in October! 💙

Thank you so much for the comment and kind words -- this was a great watch! That teacher was such a good support but man, I felt for him! I really liked the realism of these kids all struggling to communicate and make it work around them. And yessss, Bae Doona -- she's iconic to me, now! <3 I love that at the end, our group of girls battled against all odds to be able to express themselves together one last time for the band -- I love that it was just for themselves -- so cute! I really enjoyed this as well! Jason N did very well! <3 We have a good lineup in October, too!

I love the vibes of this movie! Yessss, it’s a lot and overstimulating at the start, but once you “get it,” you want to go back and re-watch to get it from the start and it all flows so well – the rewatchability is so good with this one! But yes, this feels like an actual high school experience – I love the style of the film-making from this time period. I agree, I feel by the end of the concert, those two women are going to make up! 😀 But yes, INSOMNIA is the true antagonist of the film. I feel I’ve heard Linda Linda in the 90’s – but that’s cool about getting the actual band in the film. I LOVED the teacher and his support for the girls! It’s so great and YES, I really got the Bocchi feel in this movie – ugh, where’s season 2?! Bless Macky and his confession - in Korean no less! Agreed on the A and F ratio. I love that she replied in Japanese; I didn’t realize that and that’s very sweet. Her confusion was ICONIC in that moment. These facts and BTS bits are so good – That is so cool that they actually LEARNED to play for the film – I have hardly any music background and I cannot imagine learning from scratch for a film! Thank you for the info on the album, too! Bae Doona is SUCH a good actress; that’s awesome that she learned Japanese for the film, and it helped make her “exchange student” vibe be all that more relatable. This was a great film to round out “summer” and transition into fall, so thank you so much for the commission and the comment!!
