Will Your School Be Next?
|
Take the serious cinema from the 1950s, which focused on teenage angst, merge it with punk rock and bring The Ramones into the mix as honorary students at a high school and it creates this timeless rave-up of the generational divide caused by rock-n-roll.
The over-the-top acting and a script that doesn't take itself too seriously is the winning combination.
The iron-fisted principal, two students who are snitches for the administration, out-of-touch parents and tough-talking police ultimately face a student body unified by music; through a teen talented in songwriting - who is thrust into a position of leadership - one "cool" teacher and a band looking to blow the roof off every night club (or school) with its high-octane, three-chord songs.
The casting of The Ramones was masterful, as their music harkens back to the early days of rock-n-roll, but with a punk credo they created in the 1970s through legendary gigs in New York City clubs.
The bonus features - including outtakes, commentary by producer Roger Corman & director Allan Arkush, along with the original theatrical trailer & radio ads - sends this set to the head of the class.
