It's silly, but I think one of my favourite things about the Eurovision movie is that up until the semi-final, we don't get to hear any more than the first verse of Double Trouble before it gets cut off. So by the time we get to it, we've been teased by the opening of this damn song at least three times now, and we're dying to know how the rest of it goes. And so the performance starts, Fire Saga start singing, they reach the end of the first verse and stare into each other's eyes, and there's a brief pause, and you think 'oh shit, not again, what's gonna happen this time?'
...And then they turn to the camera and keep singing, and you think "Oh sweet! They're gonna do the whole song just like in a real semi-final!"
I just watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga for the first time and ??????? It was really fun! Deeply weird though. It had three good jokes that really worked for me:
1. Salvador Sobral’s song (I really love it, it won for a reason) being an absolutely magical piece of ost that was revealed to be sung by him as a street musician performing for money, which shows you the true cultural significance of the competition, sorry.
2. The fact that it was obvious from the first second that the Russian singer was gay.
3. Will Ferrell hating on Americans.
It’s really weird to know it’s an American movie because I don’t see it working out there at all. I liked everything that wasn’t straight from a script writer’s textbook (misunderstandings, forced conflict etc). But yeah, I had a lot of fun! It was weird!
