Shine a Light (2007)

  • Caption: Shine a Light (2007)
  • Description: Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese and the world's greatest rock 'n roll band, The Rolling Stones, unite to bring audiences the musical film event, "Shine A Light," a look at The Rolling Stones, the band that defined the very idea of what a rock & roll band is, live through the eyes of Scorsese. It's hard to overestimate the importance of The Rolling Stones in rock & roll history. The group, which formed in London in 1962, distilled so much of the music that had come before it and has exerted a decisive influence on so much that has come after. Only a handful of musicians in any genre achieve that stature, and the Stones stand proudly among them. No stranger to rock concert films ("The Last Waltz"), Scorcese filmed the Stones over a two-day period at the intimate Beacon Theater in New York City in fall 2006, He assembled an incredible team of cinematographers to capture the raw energy of the legendary band. The Director of Photography, Oscar winner Robert Richardson ("The Aviator," "JFK"), supervised the camera team comprised of several highly acclaimed cinematographers, including Oscar winner John Toll ("The Last Samurai," "Braveheart"), Oscar winner Andrew Lesnie ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong"), Oscar nominee Stuart Dryburgh ("The Piano," "The Painted Veil"), Oscar nominee Robert Elswit ("Magnolia," "Good Night and Good Luck"), Oscar nominee Emmanuel Lubezki ("Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events," "Sleepy Hollow") and Ellen Kuras ("Summer of Sam," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"). The film was edited by David Tedeschi, who most recently worked with Scorsese on the acclaimed Bob Dylan documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan." The executive producers are Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood.

    "your eating something that's ripped out of a corpse."

    That's no different from meat. You don't think that the soil you they make isn't disgusting. That soil probably has decayed corpses in it. What's the difference? Oh I know, the decayed corpses are very f'in disgusting.

    They all form a cipher, and they came to observe it
    I follow suit, and face it, embrace it
    Shinin bright, but still I'm careful not to waste it
    Destined to rise, because I'm basement adjacent
    Spirit is still so just chill and be patient
    Some heads approach like I'm the one to base with
    Clowns about to scream and shout but don't say shh..
    I ain't your student so I ain't to be tested
    I'm majestic, I represent my strength without effort
    My, method is unorthodox, but of course it rocks
    My serious synopsis will drop kick, my topics
    run the gauntlets and galvanize the audience
