- SHINE A LIGHT.
There are several movies about the Rolling Stones, but in my opinion, "Shine a Light" is the ultimate, the best movie, which counts and displays more things of the group. Scorsese has made a prodigious work. Above all, in this age of digital effects, glares and technical counterlights and sometimes dizzy, always violent, Scorsese makes no concession to these technicalities so often misused. The camera changes continuously angle, but in a way that every change is a kind of crescendo and realizing what is happening in the scene (of course) but also in the minds of the musicians. Do you see what makes Jagger? (Changing camera). Here we see it better. (Changing camera) Even better. (Changing camera): Indeed Jagger is returning to normal way some small detail that is a little beyond. And so the whole film is not already in the performance of the group, but we might say, in his being (like artists, musicians.)
Do you see these two guitarists that hate themselves by death? (Changing camera) Watch what jingle. (Changing camera) indeed the thing is by death, (change of camera) just that as true gentlemen, both have pledged not to use weapons or poison. (I know that I´m exaggerating a bit, but it is Scorsese´s skill and mastery to make the movie and my opinion. Nothing more.)
Even Charlie Watts (drums) is no saved from catches of Scorsese. It looks a nice shot where Watts puffes somewhat tired at the end of the piece: but it is the laziness of youth. I say that with 20 years old, the gesture would have been like.
This artistic "tension" in the group, completely at the service of the "script" and the plan of the show, shows that the group is not finished, but quite the opposite. Whenever creative something emerges, something new, in the whole results of their action.
