Today I bring you just a link to a guest post I have done over at the amazing site Filmoria. They have a series called Film Song of the Day which is fairly self-explanatory and if you're a regular reader, you might be able to guess what I contributed. It just had to be my favourite moment of music in film ever which quite tidily comes from my number one film of all time.
Yes it's The Pixies from the closing scene of David Fincher's Fight Club. Here's the moment:
Anyway please rush over to Filmoria right now to check out the article in full and leave lots of comments saying how wonderful their new contributor is. I really hope you enjoy the short article!
FIGHT CLUB is the best movie ever made, period.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those films that once you've seen it in the cinema, you feel like a differnt person coming out of the theatre - as in one feels changed, different and forever altered in brilliant ways for having seen it.
Had no idea you were a teacher.
Couldn't have put it better myself! And yes for some reason I am a teacher. But hopefully not forever!
DeleteI could see that one coming, Pete, great choice! Listen to it LOUD is my advice, still gives me chills ( :
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! Best ending ever! And ever since seeing Fight Club, probably one of my favourite songs too!
DeleteEven though I have seen this film countless times I still get goose bumps at this scene. Such a great choice of song!
ReplyDeleteYeah definitely! Love it to bits!
DeleteVery nice. I've only seen Fight Club once, so getting to rewatch that ending was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds hectic -- teachers have to endure a lot. I'm sure you'll fly by with great reviews, man. Also, I wish we didn't have Mondays either.
It's Tuesday and I haven't been observed yet so here's hoping they stay out of my classrooms!
DeleteGreat choice for the series, Pete. I just left you a comment on Filmoria as well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth! You are truly awesome!
DeleteOh yes! Great moment...it was the song and the timing of it that made me think Fight Club wasn't just a very good film...it was bloody brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah if you weren't convinced by the movie up to the point, hopefully that ending would blow your mind! So epic and strangely beautiful!
DeleteJust seemed to sum up the whole film when I saw it. Also I am a big Pixes fan so I think that might have helped. Heading over to Filmoria to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI am NOW a big Pixies fan but the first time I heard the song was when I saw this film. I immediately went home and HAD to find out what it was. Never have I fallen so in love with a song so quickly.
