After coming across a documentary on the internet, titled, "Why We Fight: War Comes To America", I fell in Love with the footage, the aesthetic and the rawness of it, made me make this. The original was an hour long, explaining to Americans some of their cult history, and war information. (Pretty interesting, but at the same time boring). After watching it, I decided to put some music to it, and make my own music promo using the footage, as I knew the perfect band for it. The War On Drugs. their sound matches perfect.
With this promo i am trying to show life during the war, the pain, the grief, the disaster that is caused, through to the unity of a country trying to re-build, giving life its all and getting the benefits of a good lifestyle, being happy, until it happens again (it=war). seems like an endless cycle.
orignal footage can be found at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183997/
origanal footage directed by: Frank Capra & Anatole Litvak (1945)
They has some resemblance to The Arcade Fire, isn´t it?
But they sound gloriously!
