Now I am done with the floaty air of Barqoue music in France with Lully,now let’s relish old-school rock with Rob Reiner.

This is Spinal Tap (1984)-Rob Reiner 

Spoofing your typical rock documentary like Bob Dylan: Don’t Look Back. It goes of a random commercial director Marty Dibergi following the most famous metal band ever Spinal Tap.

Yes you guys know him for the more infamous example of The Princess Bride (Hello my name is Inigo Montanya,you killed my father-prepare to die). O.K I hate to say it..I feel that it was not funny as I imagined. I was most of the time just staring at my television eating chips and carmel biscuits. It feels not like they are really poking fun for the lives of the rockstars. Maybe I feel as if I am watching in the eyes of Marty.

The songs are alright and of course if you could some the references-good for you. I spotted most of The Beatles references here. Personally I feel that this film is not an easy suit for everybody,but if you are a rocker then do watch it.

The Governor: [Confronting Puyi in the prison gardens, where Puyi works alone] Perhaps you think we’re here to teach men to lie in a new way? The Governor: [Puyi continues working as if trying to ignore the Governor] Why did you sign every accusation made against you? I didn’t stop you from killing yourself to see you like this! Someone who will sign anything to please his enemies… to please me! The Governor: [Puyi continues working] You knew about a lot of things in Manchukuo… even the secret agreements. But you couldn’t possibly have known about the Japanese biological warfare experiments in Harbin! Could you? So why did you sign these papers? Emperor Pu Yi: I was responsible for everything. The Governor: You are responsible for what you do! All your life you thought you were better than everyone else. Now you think you’re the worst of all! Emperor Pu Yi: [sighs] Why can you not leave me alone? You saved my life to make me a puppet in your own play. You saved me because I am useful to you. The Governor: Is that so terrible? To be useful?

Today I embark on my third* of fifty-two Academy Award winning Best Picture films from 1952-2009. This afternoon’s conquest is The Last Emperor from 1987. An hour and a half in, and I’m impressed to the point of love. I’m completely captivated by John Lone’s face.

*I’ve already seen Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), and The Apartment (1960).
