Brilliant Artistry

I’ve seen more than a few movies in my lifetime and I’m not sure whether or not that is something to be proud of. Tonight was a moment…an experience…of a piece of film that has me still feeling tingles. I received this movie knowing very little about the film except that it was a musical film of sorts. In fact, I didn’t even know it won as Oscar for best song until after I finished the movie and was curious to read more about it.

Suffice it to say - this was a thoroughly enjoyable film from start to finish. For me there were so many things that were moments that I could relate to. When the studio engineer talked about a “car test” I pumped my fist in the air as I remembered that exact same thing happening back in the day when I had similar studio sessions. Completely true - and the engineer’s reason for doing so was exactly what my best friend Chris would say.

This movie rang true on so many levels. I loved the simplicity of the whole thing from the shaky camera to the seemingly made-up songs like “Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy”. Classic.
