Par klipu / Some music movies

The last couple of weeks was really busy so even thinking of some meaningfull contributions (which would "count") was quite difficult. Nevertheless, regardless of how much time I spent at work or so I enjoyed several music movies on YouTube. Here they are:

  • Looking Out My Backdoor by Creedence Clearwater Revival - wonderful music and a movie full of good mood. Which is quite opposite to what happened later in the band. You can read the story in the wikipedia article which is something like a story about a hard life with a genius. BTW: for me the movie is a good reminder of the fact that you should always think first before you choose your haircut... :-). (Read the article thoroughly - you may find interesting info about Saul Zaentz - e.g. producer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
  • You might have noticed that there are some lyrics in the bottom in the links. One of them is Warriors of the World by Manowar. Quite a militaristic song. The official music movie is not interesting whereas the following two are. The first one - sometimes it is really difficult to say whether they meant it seriously or it was just a parody (If you really cannot sustain it just go to 1:20. It is really worth it :-)). I am still not sure. And the second movie...well, just enjoy :-).
  • And finally a third movie just in order to let you calm a little bit down. It's sort of music movie for Blue - one of the incredible trilogy Three colours by Krszysztof Kieslowski and a music composer Zbigniew Preisner.

Posledni dva tydny byly dosti hekticke, takze i jen pouhe premysleni o smysluplnych prispevcich se prilis nedostavovalo. At tak ci onak, podarilo se mi aspon shlednout par videoklipu na YouTube, o ktere bych se rad podelil:

  • Looking Out My Backdoor od Creedence Clearwater Revival - krasna hudba a klip plny dobre nalady. Coz je v dosti velkem protikladu k tomu, jak skupina skoncila - muzete si o tom precist v clanku na Wikipedii. Ve zkratce: jde o to, ze s geniem se obcas zije hodne spatne. Krom toho je klip dukazem toho, ze pred tim, nez si clovek vybere uces, mel by si to radne rozmyslet. A propos: pokud budete cist povidani o CCR na Wikipedii, dozvite se neco i o Saulovi Zaentzovi (mj. producent Preletu nad kukaccim hnizdem).
  • Asi jste si vsimli, ze dole mezi odkazy jsou odkazy na texty nekterych pisni. Jednou z nich je Warriors of the World od Manowar. Takova pekna militaristicka pisen. Oficialni klip nic moc. Ale tyhle dva stoji za to. U prvniho clovek dosti vaha, jestli to bylo mysleno vazne, nebo slo o parodii. Buh sud (pokud byste to fakt nemohli vydrzet, mrknete se aspon na 1:20, tam to skutecne stoji za to :-). A ten druhy...no, kouknete se.
  • A na zaver treti klip, trochu na uklidneni. Je to jakoby klip k Modre - jedne ze tri casti fantasticke Kieslowskeho trilogie Tri barvy. Hudba od Zbigniewa Preisnera.
