I have decided to begin my blog with a post on what I believe to be one of the best films of the last year at least! It is an incredibly alive film that showcases everything that was brilliant about this era be it the incredible music or the fantastic fashion which are both shown throughout this film.
The film tells the story of a pirate radio broadcasting from a ship in 'The middle of the freakin ocean' to the United Kingdom. Although the films story itself is not real it was inspired by true events of a pirate radio ship that did exist called 'Radio Carolyne' and most of the radio Dj's are based on real Dj's from radio stations at that time!
The soundtrack of this wicked film is a definite MUST BUY, with such classics as, 'Wouldn't it be nice', by the beach boys, 'All day and all of the night' by The Kinks you'll be dancing in the street all night long! Which is ironic as 'Dancing in the street' by Martha and the Vandellas is one of the songs on the soundtrack!
The celebrated director Richard Curtis has bought us many other awesome British films such as Notting Hill, Love Actually, Bridget Jones diary and Four Weddings and a Funeral and has given us an amazing cast in each one and 'The Boat That Rocked' is no exception.
There are many actors performing in this film but the ones who in my opinion give the most memorable performance constantly throughout this film are the legends who are;
-Bill Nighy who plays 'Quentin'
-Rhys Ifans who plays 'Gavin Cavanagh'
-Philip Seymour Hoffman who plays 'The Count'
-Nick Frost who plays 'Doctor Dave'
Having watched the film various times with various members of my family and friends I guarantee this film to be a crowd pleaser! I recommend buying it or renting it or watching it online and if you share my views of this awesome film let me know!
