School of Rock (2003)

Comedy starring Jack Black. Not too cuty like many school movies. The description at the end by the director and Jack Black was very useful in terms of listening (because you've already seen the film once you might have memorized some lines in your brain).

スラングを除けば早すぎず聞き取りやすい。子供の英語も新鮮かも？！本編の後に見たJack Blackと監督によるDVD解説 はいい！本編を復習することになり、しかも、台詞と違いスラングも少ないので、非常に判りやすい。

Once

This film is really intriguing that it's worth watching again and again (even I, who never watch a same film more than twice, might buy one to enjoy over and over). Both the story and the soundtrack (their lyrics are very touchy too, as well as their melodies) are fascinating.

One of my favourite films which are very few.

My favourite song is 'When Your Mind's Made Up'.

Glen and Marketa's voices produce a marvelous harmony in the chorus. The five beat stays in mind with the rhythm of the drum beats and guitar strokes. At first I tried copying the guitar fingering while listeng to piano's back line, to get the chord line which repeats throught the song.

I love this scene for it represents very well the expression of players paying attention to each other while playing their part . Very impressive.
