This is a blog that I’ve wanted to start for a long time! I create it with two goals in mind. First, I want to jot down and share my thoughts about movies as I have them. I normally have a pretty clear opinion about movies right after I watch them, but then cannot remember clearly all the little things I was thinking after about a week. I hope to use this blog to track those ideas while they’re still fresh.

Secondly, I find myself recommending lots of movies, but typically it’s after the point where I’ve lost track of why I really liked the movie in the first place. I can talk vaguely about the themes or “this one scene where…”, but I’ve always thought it would be nice to have a carefully considered blog post I could throw at someone when I make a recommendation.

Wait a minute, who are you?

I suspect virtually everyone looking at this blog will have been sent here by me directly, but if on the off chance you stumbled here from some freak accident of SEO, you may be wondering who I am or why I’m qualified to be making movie recommendations.

If that’s the case, welcome! My name is Campbell and I’m an American software engineer living in Tokyo. In my free time I play chess and watch movies. That’s where my qualifications start and end 😅. I’ve seen a lot of films, but you should take my recommendations here for what they are: a friend’s biased opinion about films that are rarely if ever based in actual knowledge of the craft of filmmaking.

My goal, at the end of the day is to help you decide to watch (or skip) a movie you have been thinking about seeing. I also want to spark some ideas about some of the movies I love. Formal review is not the target.

This movie made the song popular; the main character is Axel Foley so there can be no doubt the two are linked very directly. It’s just a banger from the deep 80’s which is why it’s used as a meme, so I can’t really dock them points for that!

Random Continuity Issue

This doesn’t really belong anywhere, but one thing that snapped me out of the movie for a minute was a bad continuity error near the beginning. (Note the Axel F in the background at the beginning haha)

In the first 30 seconds of the scene, he is carrying a big basket of flowers. This ends up being his excuse to go up and talk to the bad guy for the first time, but when he walks into the office he doesn’t have the basket anymore. It’s just completely unexplained.

He could easily have either had them in his hand in the scene or have dropped them outside, but by not showing that it shook me out of the experience and reminded me I was watching a movie. We can give him the benefit of the doubt that he did put it down somewhere, but it’s distracting because it’s not explicitly shown.

Thoughts

Music

I chose to rewatch this movie because I wanted to hear the main Man of Constant Sorrow song, but I discovered on this rewatch that the music plays a more central role in establishing the tone and setting for the movie.

On a plot level, this song is key to the protagonists eventual success, as it launches them to unexpected stardom and results in their pardon from the governor, but other songs throughout the movie drive the plot as well. Many scenes, like the baptism in the river or the encounter with the sirens, begin with overheard music which transports them to another adventure.

The political race which acts as the B plot to the story is also driven by song. Each candidate aligns themselves with a group of singers to capitalize on their popularity, but also to give the film a chance to play out more songs that define the time when the movie takes place.
