absolute beginner be a film for the young generation and a multi time film that discuss the issue that teen be face in britain and how these troubled and constantly hit each note and teen problem can relate to the youth of tomorrow . it could have be dub the moulin rouge of the 80 and but it disappear . it make it very shallow mark on the world and snuck under the radar and and can now be find collect dust at either the musical section and the comedy section and or the politically obscure section of that seedy video store that doesn not need chain money to survive . ala and that wasn not where i find it but i find it and watch it and try my hard to sing along with it and star into bowie eye and but find myself fade by the end . do it not survive the test of time . be 1950s london too far remove from our current society . be bowie too creepy . i think absolute beginner fall somewhere into each of these question a the perfect example of cinema that start out with a bang and but withers to a mere sparkle by the end . absolute beginner open with a huge number that take u through the non gritty street of london which involve theft nightly and prostitute on every corner and dance throughout and booze like river and and the swanky tie on nearly every individual . sound like a place we would all hate to be right . director julien temple keep the mood light and flashy throughout most of the song a we attempt to learn something about a plethora of our main character . the one we follow most be colin play by eddie oconnell who follow his dream of be a photographer while shoot his favorite girl and suzette ( play by patsy kensit ) . these two have chemistry and and while suzette look like a pre rehab lohan and to me they work . there be a huge spark between them and the chemistry be like lava and and i believe that these two could take me down a road i have never travel . i be ready but then and something happen . temple take u out of the nightlife and take u out of the city we grow up with at the beginning and and completely reverse the role without any dedication to the first . suzette run away and colin become a pervert and and bowie well i be not quite sure what his role be but he sing amazingly well while climb a mountain i can tell you that much . temple give u this flashy city and this opportunity to see those that inhabit it and but leave u hang high and dry when it be time to pull the trigger . we learn about colin and mainly and but nobody else . i could probably watch this film again and still be equally confuse a to whom be angry at whom and and what importance fashion have to that era . also and be they teens really they all seem like they be push their late 20 and but maybe it be my tv . character development thrown right out the door and temple try to overcompensate by give u big and more lavish song use even more character that we know nothing about . one of my favorite song in the film use this thought a a prime example . temple use a split house to show u the life of colin parent ( of which i do not know it be them until after the film ) and a song which scream apathy . great song and too many character and not enough time and suddenly drag into another scene of miss coherency and and it just fall apart in your hand . then and if that wasn not enough and we be rock our head to the beat of some great song and rub our noggin try to understand where our character be or be go and and temple throw in hatred and anger and and politics into the final act . while i be hop that this film would have a dedicated theme and i do not think racism would be on the top of the bill . suddenly and friend be miss and people be angry and and there be some random guy run around fight colin because he live in poverty and have a friend of a different race . somebody help me out here . it seem completely rush and overwhelm nearly to the point of want to turn the film off . to me and the end of absolute beginner be nowhere near the excitement from the opening number . that first part set the pace and and temple could not keep up . overall and i must say that temple can direct a music video and but i do not think he be quite prepared for the feature film . i do not think this film will ever make it into full cult status and and will probably remain unremembered or in the dollar bin for year to come . it be a fun film to watch initially and but when we get to that final part and it just explode from the inside . i want some cut edge work and but instead what i find be a freaky bowie couple with character i care nothing for . i could see how this film could relate to the youth of the 80 and but by the end it just felt force . i think everyone in this production should have take a moment and listen to motivation by the ever freaky bowie in this film and it may have help solidify this feature into good cult status . i be glad that i watch this film once and but that be all that my small brain can take . i love the way that temple catch me from the beginning and but he couldn not control his character ( way too many ) and and the song do not seem to match the final moment of the film . it come out of nowhere and and it be unwelcomed . if this be a film about racism and it need to be from the beginning . absolute beginner be a welcomed adventure and but i do not think i will be dust this film off in the future . grade represent out of .
