Re: The Chemical Brothers Movie - Dont Think
I think the major focus of the movie was actually to avoid the cliches that usually go along with footage of live electronic-music performances... namely the emphasis on the performance as a standalone, only ever showing the audience as a huddled mass swaying in time to it. They wanted to capture the audience's reactions to the mindblowing psychedelic experience they were beholding, because that's as much a part of it as the music and the visuals... they put up signs in Japanese telling people to ignore the cameras and enjoy the show, because they wanted to avoid any sort of "hi-mom" posturing, and I think it really shows. The audience members seem totally engulfed in the experience, and that kinda rubs off on the viewer. All in all one of my favorite concert movies.
