The commitment : goes teathere 2013
As you can see, my last post is about a soul music film review "the commitment" 1991. In 2013, the film was set on theatre. The Commitments was also adapted into a film in 1991 which was voted as “the best Irish film of all time” in a 2005 poll a sponsored by Jameson Irish Whiskey. Like the film, the stage production of The Commitments is a close adaptation of the novel and hopes to secure similar popularity and success Roddy Doyle’s best selling novel, The Commitments has been adapted into a full scale stage musical, and had its world premiere at the Palace Theatre in the Autumn of 2013.
The Commitments is set in Dublin in the 1980’s and is the tale of an band manager, Jimmy Rabbitte and a group of aspiring musicians who get together in the hope of forming a band. Jimmy wants to manage the world’s greatest soul band and, like a true businessman, he holds auditions at his parents’ house along in the hope of discovering musical talent. Unlike Jimmy’s soul idols such as Aretha Franklin and Ottis Reading, Jimmy finds himself with a group of white and weedy musicians. Hell bent on transforming the group into something great, Jimmy names the band “The Commitments” and together they attempt to head up an Irish soul revolution.
The Commitments includes the famous soul numbers “Mustang Sally”, “In the Midnight Hour” and “Try a Little Tenderness.”
Dublin truly takes over London’s West End as The Commitments follows in the footsteps of successful Irish musical, Once, which opened at the Phoenix Theatre in April to a generally warm critical response.
The Commitments will close on Sunday 1st November 2015. Book now for your last chance to see the show!
Cast and Creative
The Commitments was written by Roddy Doyle and is directed by Jamie Lloyd, who has worked on a number of successful productions in the last few years including the sell out run of Macbeth starring James McAvoy at the Trafalgar Studios. His work on musical theatre was enjoyed at the Donmar Warehouse with critically acclaimed productions of ‘Passion’ and ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’. Set design for the show is by Soutra Gilmour, with Lighting Design by Jon Clark and Sound Design by Rory Madden. Ann Yee provides the choreography, alongside Alan Williams as Musical Supervisor and Arranger.
The cast for The Commitments includes: Brian Gilligan as Declan “Deco” Cuffe and Denis Grindel as Jimmy Rabbitte. The Commitments opened for previews at the Palace Theatre from the 21st September with press night on 8th October 2013. Performances are Tuesday to Sunday evenings at 7.30pm, with Saturday matinees at 3pm. Sunday shows are at 2:30pm & 7pm. The show length is 2 hours and 20 minutes, including one interval. The Commitments contains some adult themes and the occasional swear word, making it unsuitable for young children. Children over the age of 12 are welcome to enjoy the show if accompanied by an adult.
how ever, the performance of the theatre not as good as the movie.. this in my personal opinion. maybe because of the cast, the actor character don'st look like the character should. and the music how they played it dont feel soul enough. its just my personal, i just like the movie more.
hehe,
Film review :The Commitments
The commitent is a film about Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins), a self-proclaimed promoter, decides to organize an soul group to fill the musical void in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland. The band comes together but ends up consisting entirely of white musicians who have little experience with the genre. Even though their raw talent and lofty aspirations gain the group notoriety, the pitfalls of fame began to tear at their newfound friendships as they prepare for their big show. Based on the novel by Roddy Doyle.
The organizer of the band is the lean, ingenious Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins), whose suggestion is greeted with puzzlement by his friends. They like soul music, yes, but they don’t particularly identify with it. Rabbitte’s logic is persuasive: “The Irish are the blacks of Europe. Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. North Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin.” The movie is based on a novel by Roddy Doyle, a North Dublin school teacher, but it is founded on charm. Parker introduces a Dickensian gallery of characters, throws them all into the pot, keeps them talking, and makes them sing a lot. The result is a movie that doesn’t lead anywhere in particular and may not have a profound message - other than that it’s hell at the top, however low the top may be. But the movie is filled with life and energy, and the music is honest. “The Commitments” is one of the few movies about a fictional band that’s able to convince us the band is real and actually plays together.
Jimmy Rabbitte is the mercurial force at the center of the group, holding it together, but the real star of the music in the movie is a large, shambling, unkempt young man named Deco Cuffe (Andrew Strong). After Rabbitte has disappointing luck at a series of auditions for his new band (there’s a funny montage showing the would-be talent knocking at his door), he finds Deco at a wedding party, where he picks up the microphone and begins to sing while the band is on break.
Strong’s discovery in real life was scarcely less of a happy chance: He is the 16-year-old son of a Dublin singer that Parker was using to rehearse with, and when the father grew hoarse, the son stepped in, and Parker cast him on the spot. He’s one of those oversize, big-voiced natural talents, with the look of Meat Loaf and the verbal style of Joe Cocker, and he gives the music in the movie a driving energy.
Meanwhile, backstage stories multiply. The oldest member of the group is Joey Fagan (Johnny Murphy), who claims to have toured America with all of the greats, from Wilson Pickett to Little Richard, and he is indeed an accomplished session musician. But he is even more accomplished at sessions between the sheets, and with great smoothness and subtlety he makes his way through all three women who sing backup for the band. Parker has fun letting that level of the story sort of happen in the background; like Robert Altman, he is able to capture the spontaneous nature of real life by letting several stories unfold at the same time.
“The Commitments” is so much fun that maybe it’s unfair of me to expect anything more. But I was rather disappointed that the movie seemed to dissipate toward the end. The band is created with great conviction, we feel we really know several of its members, and then Parker seems to choose music over story, as the band members quarrel offstage but spend most of their time onstage, playing.
Could there have been something more? Parker never promises us a profound human drama here, and the band is so good that maybe music was the best way to go. But I was left with sort of an empty feeling, as if after the characters were developed into believable people, Parker couldn’t find anywhere to go with them. As film, this is not one of the major works by the man who directed “Midnight Express,” “Birdy,” “Shoot the Moon” and “Mississippi Burning.” But as music and human comedy, it works just fine
The Breakfast Club: Original Motion
Picture Soundtrack
After watching the movie, I just knew I had to get the soundtrack! I was glad I did. While "Don't You Forget About Me" was the signature hit, "Fire In The Twilight" and "Heart To Hot To Hold" are underrated gems that made the soundtrack a polished masterpiece. All three are my favorite songs from the album. "Don't You Forget About Me" holds an emotional message through its' dancy beat, and overall beautiful sound, and "Fire In The Twilight" (my most favorite off the album), provides candy for the ears with beautiful, solid, dancy, 80's new wave rock that makes you want to get up and just run with the sound ringing in your ears, and with the image of the students running from the teacher in the movie (which is the part where this song begins). "Heart To Hot To Hold," contains kind of a groovey, infectious, and unique beat that makes you want to "groove" along with it. "We Are Not Alone" is a very high-strung, dance-pop piece of 80's sound with intense lyrics. You cannot stay in your seat when you listen to that one! "Didn't I Tell You," is an all around great 80's dance-pop anthem, never ceasing to make you move your feet. Of course there are the great instrumentals in "The Reggae," "Love Theme," and "I'm The Dude," which gels everything together to form one of the best soundtracks of the 80's. The only song on the album that seems to have weakness is "Waiting," in my opinion. It plays second fiddle to the other songs on the album, since it seems to lack variety. It's still an okay song just the same, though. If you cannot get enough 80's music, and you love to dance and groove-on-down, definitely buy this album! It's a must-have!

Irony dalam Filem
Semasa dalam suatu kelas oleh pensyarah saya Mr .M telah menceritakan Ironi dalam satu filem. kini saya ingin mengupaskan contoh ironi dalam filem yang telah saya tonton.
Permulaan filem ini kita akan diperkenalkan dengan kesemua watak yang berbeza beza. sebagai pengarah, John Hughes memisahkan wataknya kepada lima kategori yang berbeza iaitu, Samseng sekolah, Pelajar pandai, "spoiled princess", Atlet sekolah popular , danMisteri. Ini menjadikan ia lebih mudah untuk penonton untuk mengaitkan diri mereka kepada watak-watak dalam filem. Andy, si ahli suka , muncul untuk menjadi seorang lelaki yang tidak mempedulikan hal org lain , bagaimanapun, selama perjalanan filem, dia boleh dilihat sebagai watak yang lebih emosi. Dia dibuli oleh bapanya yang merupakan seorang contoh yang baik yang bersifat yang benar-benar seorang yang patut pada sifat kelakian. Andy digambarkan sebagai seorang atlet yang takut mengecewakan bapanya. Ironinya, dia berada dalam tahanan kerana telah membuli rakan sebaya. Brian pula seorang yang takut pada kegagalan dan tertekan oleh ibunya yang amat bimbang tentang kemasukannya ke kolej pada masa akan datang. Brian adalah watak yang sedih, hal ini jelas dapat dilihat bahawa dia tidak gembira dengan siapa pun. Claire, puteri manja, merupakan drama queen sekolah, ataupun sengaja mahu dilihat begitu. Dia berpendapat bahawa ayahnya sepatutnya membawa dia keluar daripada tahanan. Sebaliknya, ayahnya menyuruh dia membeli-belah selepas tahanan selama lapan jam. Bender, seorang penjenayah, dia merupakan si pembuat masalah yang biasa di sekolah. Dia seolah-olah tidak mempunyai sebarang keinginan terhadap kerja-kerja sekolah atau kehidupan secara amnya untuk perkara itu. Dia pergi ke sekolah secara sendiri, ini menunjukkan bahawa kurangnya perhatian ibu bapanya untuk kebajikan dia. Dalam perjalanan filem ini, kita dapat lihat bahawa ibu bapanya tidak perhatian yang sama pada dia seperti yang mereka lakukan terhadap anak-anak yang lain. Allison, tak padan, adalah watak suram. Dia dibawa masuk dengan bapanya, yang seolah-olah mempercepatkan jauh tanpa berkata selamat tinggal. Tidak menyesuaikan diri dengan mana-mana kumpulan lain, Allison lebih suka menyendiri.
Sepanjang filem ini, keseluruhan watak-watak ini berada pada laluan masing-masing. Walau bagaimanapun, semasa hari itu berlalu, mereka mula mempercayai antara satu sama lain dan belajar pelajaran hidup. Setiap lima watak menjayakan emosi pada satu ketika dalam filem itu, yang mendedahkan kepada penonton bahawa mereka masing-masing tidak berpewatakan seperti itu. Setiap watak menambah perspektif mereka sendiri kepada kehidupan pelajar sekolah yang biasa.
Pada awal filem, kelima-lima jenis hampir tidak mempunyai apa-apa hubungan antara satu sama lain, dan jika mereka cuba melakukanya, ia biasanya menjadi negatif. Apabila kedua-lima watak terpaksa menghabiskan Sabtu dalam tahanan bersama-sama, mereka mula sedar bahawa mungkin mereka tidak begitu banyak berbeza. Berada di perpustakaan sekolah sepanjang hari memaksa mereka untuk menghabiskan masa dengan orang yang mereka tidak bercakap semasa di sekolah. Claire dan Andy adalah satu-satunya dua pelajar yang kenal antara satu sama lain hanya kerana kenalan mereka yang berkaitan semasa dihari persekolahan. Menjelang permulaan filem mereka berbual tentang parti yang akan di adakan pada hujung minggu. Kelima lima mereka menghabiskan masa bersama sehingga mendapati personaliti mereka tidak berbeza. pemikiran terhadap perbezaan personaliti itu terjadi kerana terlalu cepat menilai dan hanya melihat perbezaan masa lalu seseorang, akhirnya dapat mendedahkan seseorang yang tidak banyak berbeza daripada diri anda sendiri.
Judith Andre, dalam artikel stereotaip beliau, menekankan bahawa ia adalah penting untuk tidak hanya menggambarkan kebenaran, tetapi menggambarkan keseluruhan kebenaran
The Breakfast Club melakukan kerja yang baik yang kononnya menunjukkan kebenaran keseluruhan oleh Menyelidikinya banyak kesusahan bahawa remaja hadapi di sekolah tinggi, dan di rumah. Dalam artikel itu, Judith Andre menyatakan bahawa:
"Satu keengganan untuk menghadapi sesuatu adalah satu bentuk penipuan diri sendiri; ia dihasilkan oleh rasa bahaya kepada diri sendiri: takut bahawa hakikat unfaced sendiri akan berubah menjadi tidak menyenangkan, atau sekurang-kurangnya bahawa menghadap ia akan menjadi. Berfikir adalah kerja; dunia yang tidak menentu adalah menakutkan. Stereotaip, seperti generalisasi lain, melindungi kita dari kedua-dua usaha dan ketakutan. Tetapi stereotaip berbeza daripada generalisasi lain di imuniti mereka lebih besar untuk semakan; mereka bukan sahaja berguna tetapi boleh guna peraturan ibu jari. "(Andre 42).
Hughes telah cuba untuk menyampaikan kepada penonton bahawa jika orang akan mengambil masa untuk melihat masa lalu dan me label perkara berkaitan dengan rakan-rakan mereka, maka mereka akan memahami dan menghargai rakan-rakan mereka. Masyarakat amnya terlalu kerap prejudis dan The Breakfast Club dapat memberikan penonton visual berkaitan dengan kesakitan yang dirasai oleh setiap watak-watak ini. Isu umum bahawa kebanyakan remaja boleh dikaitkan dengan menjadi seperti dara. Di sekolah tinggi, ia adalah memalukan untuk dipertimbangkan dara. Claire dan Allison adalah kedua-dua anak dara dalam filem, dan kedua-duanya takut apa yang rakan-rakan mereka mungkin berfikir kerana mereka masih dara. walaupun hal ini adalah berkaitan budaya maysarakat amerika, tetapi impak terhadap seseorang itu tidak seharusnya kita ketepikan..
apa yang dapat dikatakan, filem ini merupakan filem yanag bagus untuk ditontoni..
Bittersweet on their new realease
Bittersweet is a British-pop-rock-influenced band which was formed in 2004. Originated from Ipoh, they go beyond the conventional by combining elements such as rock, punk, indie, pop and disco in their music. Bittersweet is established by 4 aspired young musicians namely Herri (Guitar, Vocals), Emai (Keyboards/Synths, Vocals), Fizan (Lead Vocals) and Moon (Guitar, Vocals).
Looking up to legendary bands like Oasis, The Stone Roses, and The Beatles, Bittersweet likes showing up on the stage in well-fitted, color coordinated, neat suits, playing a good blend of sounds. Driven by passion, in 2006, Bittersweet released their first album called 'Perfect Match' followed by their second album, called 'Empire's Transition' in May 2011. With massive support fans all around Asia, Bittersweet has toured Jakarta, Bandung, Singapore and all around Malaysia. Let’s together stay tuned for Bittersweet’s upcoming album which will also witness them celebrating their 10-years of making music.
Bittersweet has kept a low profile for a period of four years, they’ve continuously teased fans about a new album in the making. Finally, they’ve released a music video for their first single off their upcoming third album BTSWT called ‘CONTROL’. Following the declarative statement of the song title, the band’s reintroduction to fans does not disappoint, as they deliver a fervent, straight-up rock’n'roll track with galvanising guitars and drums that come to incite a sensation that is best illustrated by the various footage of excited, clamouring fans at their gigs.
here the MV of the song :
here the lyric of the song, if you want to sing along
Got a minute to fall
Time's running out
Hey ma! I can't be bought
It's pinching in my fuse
I'm just a crosshair
Been waiting for my cue
And tonight I will aim your heart
Come on, give it a little try, come on!
Come out, come on
With you, I'll try tonight
I want it, oh you gotta give it some
I'm ready now, you gotta step aside
What's the matter, don't you wanna get along?
You don't know what I’m like, I'm such a headstrong
I want it, oh you gotta give it some
I'm ready now, you gotta step aside
What's the matter? I will never give up
You don't know what it's like, you gotta have it, so ...
Coming out now
Come on give a little soul
Falling in and out of love
Let's give it up, control!
Do me a line now
I'm halfway through
It's getting deep, deep down
Dug deeper in my fuse
Do you want it? Oh you gotta get some!
Loud potion, calling "what's that sound?"
What's the matter? I will never give up
You don't know what it's like, you gotta have it, come on!
