Don't mean a thing. His voice and interpretation are fantastic, And his energy on the stage is overwhelmy. Makes me stand, dance and sing, though I'm no longer a teen. That's FANTASTIC ! Love them all.
This was one of most inspiratous Films, I have a long Time see. If there was anywhere a Chance to see it - go . It is faboulous, really. !! Not the Music alone -the hole Story , too.
Remember, folks, back at the very beginning it was the Scots/Irish in the American South who melded their music with that of African slaves to create country music and Rhythm and Blues. So it's really just the Irish reclaiming what belongs to them in the first place. When that Rabbit character said he was "black and proud", he wasn't far off the mark. The Commitments are simply completing the circle that began in the early 1800's in America. You might say the Irish have rediscovered their American roots. In the same way, we see the Moranbong Band of DPR Korea playing music structured around chord patterns of sacred hymns brought to Pyongyang by Presbyterian missionaries in the mid to late 1800's.
How come Glen Hansard (Outspan Foster) played guitar left handed in the movie, but plays it right handed here? I know he's actually a professional musician, but is he really that talented?
