I lived in a gothic mansion when I saw this. True. I had The Smiths 7 and 12 inchs on the wall. and Nothing But Flowers 10 inch. When my family broke up, I kept The Smiths "Last Night". True story.
Saw this movie for the first time 10 years ago. To this day, whenever my wife and I see a group of kids walking around somewhere, we both spontaneously sing "Buy me a - a rubber ball, now."
quando se trata de david byrne... é fantástico... fui num show dele memorável no gigantinho em porto alegre à muitos anos atrás, e fiquei ainda mais fã...
I used to know EVERY WORD to this entire movie. Haven't seen it in ages, but it's even better seeing it again from a fresh perspective. True Stories was incredible in every way.
Is it my imagination or does anyone else hear "Intervention" by Arcade Fire in the music at the beginning while they are driving? I know AF is influenced by DB and it's only a three chords but it's still kinda cool.
"Good morning, boys. Working hard? Taking a little coffee break, I see?" Did you catch the underlying bosses tone maybe trying to urge them to "get back to work!" LOL
Two of them are myself and my baby sister!!

I wish this clip was longer. I wish the kids would sing the whole song. It's so amazing.

The "I'm the king of the world" bit always makes me wonder if James Cameron wasn't a closet fan of this film!

Truly one of my favorite films! This song & dance sequence is really great, though I always thought it should be longer.

Must be a case of vice-versa, mate!
transonicbuoy1 3 years ago 2
Not vice-versa. AF is influenced by DB not the other way around! I'm saying Arcade Fire got their inspiration from this.
