One From The Heart (1981)
Francis Ford Coppola 1h 47m [Day 11, 2024 - Music Monday]
"If I could sing, I'd sing. I can't sing, Frannie!" - Hank
Tumblr media
Hank and Frannie (Frederic Forrest & Teri Garr) have been together for five years, and they're in a rut. You wouldn't think living in Las Vegas could get stale, but here they are looking at each other, straining for something kind to say.
Tumblr media
The town is gearing up for 4th of July celebrations and in the excitement Frannie makes her move. She's taking a break from Hank and his boring ways and decides to say yes to a date with Ray (Raul Julia) and the promise of more adventure.
Hank decides he's going to make the best of it and seeks the company of a stunning acrobat Leila (Nastassja Kinski) to sow a few oats of his own.
Tumblr media
But Hank's still unhappy. He's going to get Frannie back.
The film uses neon soaked visuals, musical numbers and songs by Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle to great effect to tell it's traditional tale of love lost and found in an eccentric way. I liked it.
Tumblr media
The film is set in Las Vegas, but it was not shot on location. It was shot entirely on lavish sets, for a modern take on a Hollywood musical. It's a jewel of a movie.
In fact, this is the first Film Penance movie that's a rewatch for me. I saw it once before, ages ago when Francis Ford Coppola introduced it as part of a revival screening at TIFF. I could not resist hearing him speak especially knowing the film was maligned when it came out. I liked it then, but I like it even more now.
Tumblr media
The performances are spectacular. Special mention to Lainie Kazan and Harry Dean Stanton who play best friends of the Garr and Forrest characters. They bring a delightful energy every time they're on screen. If that is not enough to tempt you, I raise you Raul Julia in a kimono, wielding nunchuks.
Highly Recommended

I would have stayed with Ray. I guess I'm no Frannie.

You like music don’t you?
Honestly who doesn’t like music? In some form or another we hear music everyday. It’s a part of every culture, no matter where you go. I listen to the radio every weekday when I drive my son to school. And every now and then I hear songs that just hit me in a good way. You know when you hear a song that just makes you feel a strong emotion? Like you can feel the music in your soul. So, starting…

Happy #Music Mondays! In case you missed it, I'm still working on the Spotify Wrapped Prompt game. So feel free to send in another if you'd like to see more vignettes. I encourage other writers/artists to try it (use a random playlist if you don't do Spotify Wrapped!) as it's a great way to branch out, get out of a slump, or try a new style or mood.
For your semi-regularly scheduled Music Monday: Share a song that gets you in a wintery or holiday mood. I'm sure you're seeing plenty of fandom exchanges (Inu Secret Santa, for example) and prompt lists (Jana has some going!) gearing up. Anything that makes you think of this time of year. Or maybe a song you associate with a piece you've seen in the past!
Reblog this post and/or tag me (@dawnrider) so I can reblog it too!

Music Mondays
Tumblr media
Today I drew Sam Cooke. He was born on January 22nd in 1931 Clarksdale, Mississippi. He was the fifth child out of 8 children of a baptist minister Rev. Charles Cook (Sam added E to his last name in 1957.). Cooke was raised a baptist. In 1933. His family moved to Chicago and he attended Doolittle Elementary school and Wendell Phillips Academy High school. Cooke was in the choir of his father's church and he actually began his career with his siblings in a group called the 'Singing Children' when he was 6 years old He first became known as lead singer with the Highway Q.C.'s.In his. Teenage years he joined another group and he even befriended a fellow gospel singer Lou Rawls who was in a rival gospel group. In 1950 he replaced gospel tenor Rebert H. Harris into a lead singer of his gospel group 'The Soul Stirrers' who had signed with Specialty Records on behalf of the group., Cooke led their first recording called 'Jesus gave me water' and also recorded more songs called 'Peace in Valley', 'How far am I from Canaan', ' Jesus paid the debt', 'One more river' and etc. He also had fangirls that rushed to the stage to see him. Cooke had basically 30 U.S. top 40 hits between 1957. To 1964. And his major hits were 'You send me', 'A change is gonna come', 'Cupid', 'Chain Gang', 'Wonderful world's, 'Another Saturday Night' and one of his most popular one 'Twistin' the Night away'. He was the among of the first modern Black performers and composers to attend to the business side of his musical career. He was also involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Now he did crossovers of the souls and pop genre Which really...umm was bad for him because there was a stigma against gospel singers singing pop songs, he tried to sing under different alias but because he had a recognizeable big,velvety and expansive voice that could hit a high C note fans were like 'Hey umm that's your voice sir' so yeah. But luckily he got a fresh new start into pop and changed his last name into 'Cooke'. In 1957. He was rocking it! He appeared on ' ABC's The guy Mitchell Show', signed with Keen Records, his songs 'You send me' and 'Summertime' were hit so much so he was on the Billboard R&B chart and was on Billboard Pop.In 1958. He performed for the Cavalcade of Jazz concert. He signed with the RCA Victor in 1960. And he had more hits coming like 'Sad Mood', 'Cupid', 'Twistin' the Night away', 'Another Saturday night', 'Bring it on home to me', a year later he started his own record label SAR Records with J.W. Alexander and his manager Roy Crain, the Simms Twins, the Valentinos, Mel Carter and Johnnie Taylor, He later created publishing imprint and management firm called 'Kags'. He was becoming more and more famous and he in 1963. Signed a contract for Allen Klein to manage Kags and SAR Records and made him his manager, made a single 'Night beat' and made a famous famous album 'Ain't that good news' in 1964.Now his personal life was bad...His First wife Delores Elizabeth Milligan Cook have divorced in 1958. and was killed in auto collision in 1959. He married Barbara Campbell in 1958. And their son Vincent drowned in the family swimming pool and apparently he fathered at least 3 other kids out of wedlock and another woman claimed he fathered her son (I don't know if this is true) and he was involved in a car accident where his driver was killed meanwhile he,Cliff White and Lou Rawls were hospitalized, IN THAT SAME YEAR. And he was a central part of the civil rights movement using his popularity and influence with white and black populations to fight for the cause, he was friends with Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X and Jim Brown and they together fought for racial equality. On December 11th in 1964. He was killed. Some described him as the creator of soul music.

Quandrophenia (1979)
Franc Roddam 2h [MusicMondays - Day 5, 2024]
"What do you mean going to be? I AM one of the faces!" - Jimmy
Tumblr media
So Quadrophenia[1].
Jimmy (Phil Daniels) only likes a few things. He likes being a “Mod”. His friends are all Mods too, riding around the city in their Italian scooters, wearing M51 Parkas, ties and trilbies, because that’s how you group the non-conformists together, mate.
Tumblr media
All Jimmy ever wants to do is hang out with his pals. Together they live in the space between friend-group and thug-group, in perpetual violent conflict with the “Rockers” who wear leather jackets and ride motorcycles. They’re so different, how could they possibly get along? Even if Jimmy’s old friend, Kevin (Ray Winstone) has become one. Sure they’ll talk to each other when no one else is around, and Kev even helps Jimmy out in a jam – but no being public about it because being “hard” demands a lot of play acting.
More than anything, Jimmy wants to be with Steph (Leslie Ash) – the prettiest, most desirable of the Mod girls. He hates his working-class family and he hates his job[2]. He wants to throw it all away to be free on the open road with Steph on the back of his Lambretta, stopping only for sex and drugs.
One weekend, all the area Mods head to Brighton to party. The coolest Mod, Ace Face is there (Sting) and if Jimmy can only impress him and win Steph, everything would change.
Tumblr media
The film is gritty with lots of natural lighting and location shooting. You get a feel for why everything seems so futile in this place. Powered by music from The Who, Quadrophenia is coming of age story of a lout.
In truth, I wanted to see what was happening with Kevin for most of the film because Jimmy has so few redeeming qualities. His immaturity is confronted, sure – but what will he do after he’s disillusioned with Steph, Ace Face, and even his scooter?  Can he see the role that he played in getting himself to this place?
My guess is no. I feel like Jimmy will just become more loutish.

NOTES:
[1] I mean, I guess you had to be there? Or Something? I was looking forward to watching this movie for a long time and in truth I was underwhelmed.
[2] Honestly, his job seems pretty easy.

music sundays?

atmospheric jazz harp :)
ny left an hour ago and i felt this whole in my heart HAHA so dramatic. but i journaled, i'm about to call a friend (thank goooooddddddd for friends), and i'll do yoga later today. i think i will type up some notes i've been meaning to type up later this evening.
living alone has been, on average, better. but there are some lows that are lower than i'm used to, just because i have the space for my brain to go places. sometimes it takes me a long time to figure out what to do, how i want to do something. because i'm so picky, and i'm stuck in this indecision.
affirmations:
not everything that goes bad is my fault!
i have what it takes to go where i want to go
good and bad come and go, constantly, and it isn't in my control. the good will come back, the bad will come back!!!
this weekend with ny was really nice. i had a bit of a moment before sleeping last night. but overall i can feel my brain getting oriented better when i'm around him. oriented to just enjoy being around someone and not forcing things.
i've been trying to allow myself to outright hate and dislike things. i will write more about this later. but i am now of the belief that seeing the best in every situation is not good. seeing the best in every situation and every person is like gaslighting oneself. it's like restricting myself from honoring the truth that wow, what that person did was so shitty. and, it also waters down all the great people around me. because everyone is at a comparable level of good.
being alone more has given me the space to think about my family more. and to have my own... opinions and takes on things. so many of my views are like soft tofu. i hope living alone will help me become more firm in my opinions!
