Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is possibly one of my favorite DVD's of all time.
Anyone ever remember seeing the video to "One More Time" on the few original music television channels then wondering what happened next? Well that video was the start of Daft Punk's musical.
I guess when I saw it I was young and impressionable and became too in love with it and the ideas of love and courage portrayed in it. You get to see an untainted and what appears to be innocent love from a lonely ship worker (Shep) towards his famous rock star idol love Stella. The scene where he is introduced is played out to the song "Digital Love". Personally, I think that song
pwns even without seeing the movie. But when the band Stella is in gets kidnapped (I won't explain why, watch and find out!), Shep speeds off to rescue her and the rest of the band from the planet
Earth. It took my young mind at the time - a couple of watches to fully understand/appreciate the movie concept, characters and visual delights. But I enjoyed every rewatch as much as the first.
Certain songs such as "Digital Love" "Something About Us" and "Too Long" used as part of the musical have since become some of my favorite songs because of this DVD.
Er, I say go get it
Its Christmas - Treat yourself
