70’s Rock, Seoul + Hot Go Go dancing!
70’s Rock, Seoul + Hot Go Go dancing!
|
Fundamentally a bio pic on a 70's S Korean soul-blues rock n roll band called The Devils. Formed from two 3-man entertainment groups at a US army barracks, the band go on to seek fame, money and glory within packed Seoul concert halls, amidst the city’s stifling political atmosphere and nightly curfews. With brilliant electrifying concert shows and fronted by female Go Go dancers (a hot leggy trio of the title!), The Devils massively popular music phenomena rock the socks off a needful youth nation with young Korean audiences swept up into fervor and adoration by the band’s heady mix of soul-blue’s, dance & rock. But due to political clampdowns, after 88 people are killed at a concert fire disaster, The Devil’s shows become curtailed and band members imprisoned, with long haired male youths having their mops cropped by police press gangs, all government reactions to the modern music’s ‘decadent’ image. “Go Go 70’s” political situations though mainly backdrop the band’s story, which mostly spoofs this revolutionary musical rock era. The live stage shows are amazing and the movie’s 70’s styled cinematics are perfectly nostalgic and represented. At one point as a camera rushes into the packed ‘Nirvana’ Seoul auditorium with the band in full swing and an ecstatically hyped young audience, you’ll feel you’re part of the atmosphere rave yourself! The 70s photo filtering and lighting are also spot on! With such incredible music energy, this film reflects an extremely hyper live concert experience. But aside to the ‘live’ atmosphere and musicianship, the film balances nicely throughout with a good script, acting and drama. Seung Woo Cho as front man singer guitarist is excellent as are all band actors, and Min-ah Shin as a sexy Go Go dancer is something you’ll never forget! For me, “Go Go 70’s” soul-rock blues sound and vocal brought to mind UK Steve Marriott’s Small Faces and Martha & the Vandellas, having similar black R&B soul-blues rock n roll mix. If you liked K-movie “Highway Star”, I think you’ll like this DVD. With a 70s retro high energy electric rock, Motown soul and dance, its certainly a ‘Soul Man’ rocktastic 2 hours of entertainment to watch repeatedly. A film that literally rocks! The bonus disk is packed with goodies; music rehearsals, poster shoot (with an eye popping long legged Min-ah Shin!), stills, deleted scenes, VIP showing - brilliant! The 2-disk OST also highly recommend. Five highly deserving stars here though! |
