  • @olly9685
    @olly9685 6 лет назад +5

    something that really elevated Sing Street in my opinion is it's setting - there's such an 80s resurgence at the moment, but it's all sun-soaked suburban american nostalgia. being from dublin, where barely any big films (let alone teen ones) are set, it felt like coming home in a way that US-centric, groups-of-kids-on-bikes movies never do. also shout out to Carney for making Raphina nuanced and kind and having her own problems, and not being forced into the stereotype of mean, shallow love interest.

    Loved the review and glad to see this movie getting more attention. Small niggle: the family was by no means poor; they were resolutely middle- to upper-middle class who’d fallen on (what I suspect they hoped to be temporary) hard times.

    I’m 58 and I’ve been a huge music and movie fan all of my life. Sing Street is my favorite movie. Period. In my opinion a good movie can’t exist without a good script. Everything else will fall into place if you have that. You don’t need A list actors, expensive special effects, or lavish sets. This movie not only has an outstanding script it has great music and a terrific cast. Could Cosmo, Raphina, Eammon, Brendan etc. be cast more perfectly? Quality all the way around.

    I don't mean to nitpick but Connor isn't technically poor. The film is set during on of Ireland's biggest depressions, the economy was doing horribly, Connor's family weren't always broke. He went to a private school before he changed.

    I'm not sure if it's an issue of originality or whether it's necessary. Sing Street profits greatly from the nostalgia bomb it gives. But yes, it's greatest strength is the execution. I'm not sure the same story would have worked if it was set in modern day pop culture, or say the 90s (imagine this during the era of Nirvana and Pearl Jam lol).
    Now I have to go listen to "Drive It Like You Stole It" about eight times in a row. :)
