『BUTCH CASSIDY and the SUNDANCEKID』released in 1969

It was my first encounter with a movie called American New Cinema, and it was also a movie of my encounter with music Burt Bacharach.

Certainly, when I was in the first year of junior high school, I was addicted to macaroni western, and I watched it at the movie theater hoping that it would be a similar movie (not in real time, lol), but it was a completely different movie. It’s been ten years since I bought the soundtrack LP for the first time, and it’s still on the shelves of my parents’ house.

If you ask me to give you my favorite movie, I can make some candidates, but I would like to give this movie that has the best matching of images with music. I think there are many people like that.

The other day, Billy Joe Thomas, who sang the theme song “Raindrops Keep Fallin”, passed away.

The idyllic scene of Paul Newman and Catherine Ross riding two bicycles in the movie, “Even if it gets wet in the rain” (two bicycles in the soundtrack), is too famous.

I was still a kid, but I remember watching the stylish images, the stylish adult lines, and the nice background music.

This time it was a memorial BJ Thomas.

The movie is about 1890, a real outlaw, Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid.

Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), who leads a well-known robbery group, is a bright and good-spoken man. Butch’s companion was Sundance Kid (Robert Redford), who made a name for himself as a gunman with a quiet and quick shot without any amiability in contrast to Butch.

The brilliant chase and sheriff hired by Union, which was damaged by the robbery of the round-trip train, will be relentlessly chased.

Butch, who thought he couldn’t escape from the chase, could speak Spanish, and Bolivia invited Sundance to fly high because of the good economy of the old gold rush, and he also rides Sundance.

Sundance lover Etta (Catherine Ross) accompanied them on the condition that they did not see only the place where they died, and they arrived safely in Bolivia on a luxury steamer, but …

The sleek lines, the coolness of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, and the beauty of Catherine Ross are still my dreams.

Thank you Robert Redford, Catherine Ross and Burt Bacharach for still alive.

Every time Burt Bacharach comes to Japan, I go to see it, but I would like to expect him to come back to Japan when Corona is over.

I like the song “Abandoned House” that plays when Etta leaves the two in the second half of the movie. Ask me to raise it in the music column next time.

Pavarotti Taiyo no Tenor Released in 2020

Talala la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

I watched a documentary program featuring Pavarotti’s life and

I remember being impressed to hear Pavarotti sing “Nessun dorma” at the opening ceremony of the Turin Olympics for the first time. Later, it turned out that he was lip-synching, and he died while various speculations flew around, saying that he was illand his voice was not at a level that he could show live. I remember thinking that was a life-threatening performance for him ..

I watched this movie with only such knowledge, but I was really fascinated by Pavarotti’s background from the beginning of this movie by director Ron Howard.Taking the opportunity to replace a sick star singer, how Pavarotti become a major singer and his private life are depicted in the film.

Not only the co-starring scene with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, who are said to be the three miraculous Tenors, but also the session with Bono of U2 iswonderful. Pavarotti begged him to write a song, and Bono reluctantly accepted it, and they went to Modena, Pavarotti’s hometown and sang together “Miss Sarajevo”,which is a very moving scene.

The friendship with Princess Diana is also mentioned in the movie, which shows Pavarotti’s feelings at her funeral when he refused to sing because he was too sad to sing.

Most of the documentaries of the big music stars have a tragic life, but this movie is a proof that the big star Pavarotti survived with all his might.

Minari] Published in 2021

In the 1980s, Korean immigrant Jacob (Steven Yeun) arrives on the plateau of Arkansas with his family, dreaming of success in agriculture.

Her wife, Monica (Han Yeri), finds out that a tattered trailer lives in a rugged land, but is worried about the future, but her curious younger brother, David, and his sister, who suffers from her heart, are solid. Ann finds hope in nature and trainer life.

While working to sort out male and female chicken chicks, Jacob cultivates rugged land and struggles to draw water.

Eventually, his tongue-in-cheek grandmother, Sunja (Yoon Yo-jung), joins in and builds a strange bond with his grandson, David.

However, although the agriculture seemed to be going well, the water withdrawal did not go well and the agriculture could not stand. Her wife, Monica, persuades Jacob to return to Los Angeles to raise her child, but Jacob still takes a step back and the couple are in conflict.

While doing so, an unexpected incident occurs …

It’s just been screened, so this is the story.

It depicts the collapse and rebirth of the family against the backdrop of the wonderful nature of Arkansaw. You can enjoy just watching Youn Yuh Jung, who is said to be the treasure of Korea, but Alan Kim, who plays David, is the best. It seems that he has no acting experience, but it is a masterpiece that reminds me of when I was a child. I would like to give the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Also, Will Patton of “Armageddon” appears as an American who helps Jacob, adding an accent to the movie.

Actually, it was Youn Yuh Jung, and I expected it to be a family member who would cry at the end, but it was a little different from what I expected. It’s a movie that makes you feel refreshed as if the sun were shining after the rain.

If I was 10 years younger, I might have said that I would do farming with my family.

This time, we will deliver “Not Goin’Home Anything” from the soundtrack of the movie “Butch Cassidy to Tomorrow” by Burt Bacharach, a great musician who has produced many famous songs at the request of the movie column.

There is a sad feeling in the gentle and gentle tune that starts with the accordion.

I think that the soundtrack has a feeling for the song only after watching the movie, but this song is also the same, but I listened to the cover song before I knew the original, and after that, oh! Is this also a Bacharach song? No wonder it comes nicely ~ ♪ I think it’s selfish.

Bacharach’s songs are instrumental, sung by various artists, self-covered, and there is a wide variety of songs that you can listen to without getting bored.
I also have a lot of favorite songs and I can’t squeeze them, so I would like to continue to take care of Bacharach in the music column from time to time ♪

For a while, every time I heard a word, I had something to think about. It’s a mambo.
Speaking of Mambo, it is King of Mambo, Perez Prado.
Mambo’s representative song, Mambo No.5. Even though he is a conductor, he enjoys moving around the stage and dancing. Besides No.5, there is also No.8. There doesn’t seem to be any songs with other numbers.
I don’t know what the story is about, but there is a faster version here. I’m not very busy. Please listen to both and compare them ♪

Golden Week is also in the middle. Around this time when you start to feel the feeling of early summer, it is the time when you start to see signs of summer by saying Japanese “Rikka”, and it seems that Lixia comes around 5/4 to 5/6 every year, and this year it comes on 5/5. ..
Drew has a lot of things I don’t know yet.

Today’s song is Otis Redding’ｓ masterpiece “(Sittin’On) The Dock of the Bay” covered by Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66.
The song is a melancholy song in which the main character sits in a cove and looks at the sea, but this cover song starts with a moody intro and makes you want to sway your body from side to side with your fingers.
Please listen while swinging with your favorite drink ♪

At times like this, I want to feel cheerful!

Drew, who basically likes songs that are melancholy or sad, thought. It shouldn’t be dark here. But it’s better to be a little modest than to be too energetic … At that time, I remembered this song.

Brazilian musician Chico Buarque’s 1966 song is sung by Nara Leão, a bossa nova muse also from Brazil.

It calms me that she isn’t singing so vigorously ~ ♪

A marching band will pass! Let’s go see it! It’s a song called.

I hope that day will come back as soon as possible! ︎

It’s mid-April, and the climate is getting better and brighter. At that time, why don’t you want to listen to cheerful reggae?
This song is from the reggae god Bob Marley’s 1977 album.
The animation will continue from the last time, but it is a fun music video that will inspire you with a peaceful story and gentle songs ♪

Sarahwear’s theme for this season is “Seaside Promenade”.

A walk along the beach reminds me … I went to the sea in kindergarten too long ago. A starfish was on the beach as I was walking along the beach, holding hands with my friends. When the starfish I saw for the first time was happy to pick it up and walk along the beach while holding it in my hand … Something came out from the center of the starfish and I was so surprised that I threw it like a boomeran and returned it to the sea.

It’s a forgetful Drew, but I still vividly remember the event. When I remembered such a seaside event, I somehow wanted to meet the sea creatures.

I’m scared to touch it now, so maybe I should go to the aquarium.
