Disobedience is man's original virtue.

So you haven’t been working out. You’ve left that paper to the last minute. And your credit card bill is past due. Those things are probably going to screw you over in the end, but setting those side, do yourself a favor (honestly, with the neglect you’ve done to yourself, you deserve a treat) and watch the film, Pirate Radio.

Pirate Radio is director Richard Curtis’ love letter to rock and roll. If you ever listened to a piece of music and be completely and utterly shaken to your core, to the point where you pull a John Cusack and stand outside in a trench coat and a boom box, blasting that song, then you would know exactly why Curtis wrote the movie and why I loved it. The film moved quickly, despite running for 116 minutes, and it was shot beautifully, like a record album cover. The ensemble cast consisting of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, and more created an amazing atmosphere where a group of rogue DJs played rock and roll music on a boat (refrain yourself from screaming “I’m on a Boat,” please) despite the English government’s plans to shut their “sewer of dirty commercialism and no morals” down. Their rebellion is refreshing and their loyalty is inspirational. These DJs are wild and, even though the government claims that they lack integrity, it is in every fiber of their being and it’s mixed with a little electric guitar and some drums.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that the movie reminded me that it’s okay to stand out against the woodwork. When did we get to this point where we’re another cog in the machine? Are we so afraid to stick our toe in new territory that we’re willing to deprive ourselves of getting burned and possibly succeeding at it in a fantastic way? Rebellion, when done right (put out the burning flag, you pyromaniac), is healthy. Rebellion with an awesome soundtrack is optimal.

Now take your vessel of ennui to the AMC at Phipps and watch the movie. I say the AMC at Phipps because they have student priced tickets on Thursdays. Now you really don’t have an excuse to not watch it. If you’re in a really rebellious mood, the AMC has just reinstated their rule of no outside food or drink in the theater, so you should totally stick it to the man by smuggling in a Coke and some Red Vines.
