BLOG 4: MOVIES AND SERIES

Hi, today I am gonna talk about a movie called Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, this is an animation musical science fiction film, from origin Japanese-French, and is the visual realization of Discovery, the second studio album of Daft Punk. This film was produced by Daft Punk, Cédric Hervet and Emmanuel de Buretel with Toei Animation under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. The particularity of this film is that it doesn´t have dialogue and uses minimal sound effects.

The plot of the film tells the story of the abduction and rescue of an interstellar pop band, where the objective of the kidnaping was erase and take their minds in disks, to use the alien band to obtain fame and the “Golden Record Award”.

The main character of the movie is Stella, the bassist of the band, the others members of the band are Arpegius, the guitarist, Baryl , the drummer and Octave the keyboardist and vocalist. Other members are Shep, the astronaut that want to rescue the band and The earl de Darkwood, the captor of the band and the main antagonist.

When I was a child I saw part of this movie, I really liked the music of the movie and the form in that only the music can relate what is happening in the movie, the sad and the happy moments, the changes of the tones in the moments of mayor tension. Later like 5 years ago I try to find this movie, but my memory is not good so was very difficult. The moment when I find it was very special to me, the memory and the emotions of my childhood when I saw the movie come back, and I was really happy of find the movie.  

The movie has as core the use of the music, the rhythm of the sounds and the tone of them are very related with the film, so if you like that type of music and the animation of the 2000´s I think that you are going to like this film.
