The Killers - Shadowplay


Δεν μπορώ να ξεχάσω το She Is Lost Control...δεν μπορώ να θυμάμαι την ματιά του Ian Kertis τραγουδώντας τους στίχους του στο Love will tear as apart.

Μερικά πράγματα δεν ξεχνιούνται απλά φυλάγονται..δεν λέγονται αλλά εννοούνται, δεν ακούγονται αλλά βουήζουν μέσα μας.

Το Shadowplay το άκουσα πριν 2 χρόνια και από τον Πίτερ Χουκ των New Order και ανατρίχιασα για την αίσθηση και το ύφος του...αυτός ο τύπος - Ο Πιτερ Χουκ - είναι υπεύθυνος για το πιο εμπορικό 12ιντσο στην ιστορία της μουσικής το Blue Monday...

Προχθές όμως άκουσα το ίδιο κομμάτι - σαν Joy Division cover - από τους Killers. Ο Brandon Flower έδωσε την δική του εκδοχή και με ενθουσίασε..


Shadowplay

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth

In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

John Alton the maestro of the Film Noir atmosphere

John Alton was an American cinematographer. He made is feature film debut in 1927 with The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg. Alton won an Academy Award for cinematography of An American in Paris, becoming the first Hungarian-born person to win it. Alton is most famous for  films noir style of the classic period . "But when I'd take most any director aside and ask him to sit down with me, he'd look at me as if I were crazy. He'd say, 'I've never sat down with a cameraman to talk about these things. What do you mean? You just pump a lot of light in!' I'd say 'You don't 'pump' light into a scene. That light has to tell something. There's a meaning, and it establishes a mood.' That was the difference between my pictures and some of the others: [in mine], each mood was different. The mood had to be done with lighting. That's my profession — not the lighting and how to light, but bringing out the mood."  ...

Blood Simple 1984

“But what I know about is Texas, and down here...  you’re on your own…”  "Blood Simple" is  an extremely enjoyable and good quality movie . It is the first film of Coen brothers and it is included in the category of Neo Noir films. The film's title  derives from the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Harvest (1929) , in which the term "blood simple" describes the addled, fearful mind-set of people after prolonged immersion in violent situations. Μany argue that the film is included in the category of horror films. But even if it has one of the most disturbing nightmare scenes I have ever watched,  the film is far from this category. Julian Marty is the owner (Dan Hedaya) of a seedy small-town Texas bar who discovers that one of his employees, Ray ( John Getz ), is having an affair with his wife Abby (Frances McDormand). Everything is determined by the thirst for revenge and money.  The demonic detective ( Michael Emmet Walsh ) who undertakes ...
