soldierz_1 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 that musicians are getting more political? I got just the right movie for them. I just saw this dvd called Gunners Palace at umvd and it rocked. It's about soldiers living in one of Saddam's old palaces, and the unique thing is that most of the movie is told through music. It's also politically neutral, it draws a larger audience. gunnerspalacedvd.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldierz_1 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 ya i guess they always have but it is interesting to see the transition in musical culture that this movie displays. Gunner Palace has a chilling scene where one of the soldiers raps about how Gunner Palace is a movie to us but they are living it. It really hits home that even though the movie is very entertaining and interesting imagining myself in their place is crazy. Gunner Palace acts a juxtaposition a war and luxury. Even though the soldiers are carrying out raids on terrorists they have off days where they live better than most people around the world. they swim in the royal pool and put on the private putting green. It's just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierz_1 Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 yeah, it's crazy. At least musicians and the rest of the world can have a greater understanding of what is going on in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kekita Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 i dont know if chris martin said this - but i have always believed it to be true politics is in everything or related to it. so yeh music has always been political in my humble opinion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kekita Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 oh just realised viva coldplay during that period Nueva Cancion was forming in Latin America In Cuba it was called Nueva Trova. Many artists of this music don't like to call it protest songs because they were not protesting against their governments eg. Chile and Cuba but were singing against injuistice and poverty done by outside forces. :blush: sori got a bit heavy there but did a paper on it for uni and i love the subject.
