Spinal Tap breakdown

For this blog entry, I'm gonna try something new. I'm going to analyze the "lost backstage" scene from Spinal Tap. The basics of the scene is that they're doing a show somewhere, and they are backstage giving each other pep-talks of how much they're going to "rock and roll" tonight. When they finally decide to head to the stage, they steadily become increasingly lost in the passageways of the boiler room tomb, all the while stating that they will "rock and roll". Ultimately, the band fails it's attempt at reaching the stage, for the camera cuts out after they circle around the same spot. 

Now, you might be asking yourself; "What could this possibly symbolize?" well, i shall tell you. the truth is that this experience symbolizes the journey that most real bands go through. They start off playing at bars and small gigs with the thought stuck in their mind that they "rock hardcore". Pretty soon they find themselves in the same gig, doing the same line-up, and they start to wonder, haven't i been here before? Only the truly dedicated bands, with the commitment to follow their dreams, make it out of the tomb and onto the "stage".

In conclusion, behind the comical act of a band being lost backstage, is an unwavering truth, that all must obey.  

hello there, movies are fun to watch. I feel that when you watch a movie you become part of the story. You feel as though you have a say in the outcome. Movies can bring out many different things and ideas in people. They can bring out an inner critic or an inner adventerur. Whatever the case, movies will bring out someones inner self. They allow us to break free of judgement.
The last "theatre" movie i saw, was the Dark Knight. Recently, i've been on youtube viewing short little artsy movies. I really like these little movies. They ar'nt always as visually stunning as big budget films, but they always have a good story.
