I don’t know what to say.
I am in shock as I write this. I just finished watching the devastating yet pure life filled Fishmans 98.12.28 concert film. I think it might be the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed. I can’t really say anything so here are some note I wrote while watching the film, in between songs:
Shinji sato, bathed in blue stage lights. Singing as if the microphone is apart of his body. The warm embrace of rhythm…
One of the best shows I’ve seen in my life.
I also hate mannequins
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
So surreal seeing the areas from where is the friend’s house destroyed and turned to a pile of stone. Another great movie from a painfully underrated artist. How it shows various people all effected who talk about how they narrowly avoided death and talking about how death gives people a new view on life is truly masterful storytelling.
An incredibly beautiful movie. So many great lines, incredible cinematography, pretty good acting. A landmark of art. Some things I wish it spent longer looking at, like I wish the swing set scene was longer so it’d be more emotionally impactful but still great none the less
