Pirate Radio Is A Must See
Imagine a world where rock ‘n roll is illegal to play over the airwaves. In this day and age it’s almost impossible, but back in the 1960′s in a less open minded England that is precisely what was going down. A group of rock lovin DJs band together to bring Great Britain the rock tunes the masses desired via Pirate Radio. The men lived on a boat and commendeered radio waves in order to bring the legends of rock into the homes of their fans.
The crew of eccentric misfits are hilarious. Philip Seymour Hoffman stands out as a leader amongst the DJs in his role as “The Count”. Bil Nigh plays the witty and awe inspiring mastermind behind pirate radio, Quintin. And the young and handsome Tom Sturridge plays Carl, a rebellious teenager sent to spend time with his god father (Quintin) in order to help him find his path in life.
The film is one of the best in theaters right now, not only is the cast incredible but the soudtrack will have your foot tappin and head boppin for the 2 hours and 9 minutes it is on the screen.
I have to be honest, I was a little choked up at the end when you see the amount of Iisteners they have an effect on and the lengths people will go for something they believe in. What can I say? Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the whole.
