Product Description

SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy named Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who is looking for a break from a home while trying to adjust to his new inner-city school. He finds a glimmer of hope in the beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band's music videos. There's only one problem: he's not part of a band...yet. Inspired by writer/director John Carney's (ONCE, BEGIN AGAIN) life and love for music, SING STREET shows us a world where music has the power to take us away from everyday life and transform us.

    This came up on my recommendations and it had a high rating so I thought it was short and I would watch it. I believe it's from the same writers who produced the movie "once" and it is similarly set in Ireland. I thought the acting was outstanding, the plot was excellent, and the movie and ending were very satisfying. I really felt that I liked the characters in the movie. A very satisfying hour and 1/2.

    5.0 out of 5 stars BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN 21TH CENTURY
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This is the best film I've seen in my life I think. I cannot think of any other movie that made me so much made my heart beat and stimulated my desire of art and life of becoming something to acheive, love, art and my work everything in life.
    After watching this movie it was 12 am and I was afraid that I might not be able to go to sleep. But luckily I was able too.

    How can I start!

    The music that they created, the original songs are so well made that I was not able to breath.
    The story is something that we all have been go through in our chilhood life.
    A boy falls in love with a girl. He can do anything to acheive her. He even makes this band to prove that he can sing because she is a model- wanna be model- and the only way to approach her is to be a singer and work with her as make her a model in their music video model at that time.

    Just like the Japanese movie SHALL WE DANCE, it started with him taking dance lesson to approach to the daning teacher.
    This movie, he started to sing to approach to this one year older then him girl.
    Then he discovers that how much he loves music and how much talented he is singing and composing.

    Man, what a Ride!!!

    The movie just get better and better that I really couldn't breath.
    By the end of the movie, I was almost about to choke to death.

    When finally the band is having a concert at school and there is this one retro 50s song playing with dream like sequence is on the screen with 50 style american people are dancing with their song, it was just pure fantasy, a dream that everyone wanted to be.
    If you have seen CARRIE the movie where there is a Junior prom sequence is on, you might have more idea what I'm talking about.

    But the song is not a slow one it was more of a hillarious dance song with so much telxture beyond it. Because the girl didn't appeared at the moment and this song is actually for her.

    This is a love song to every girls.
    This is a love song for who helped the boy out who is his brother.
    This is all the lover out there who is seeking to expose their ability to the world. Not fame they wanted to show. The star is not they wanted to be. It is their desire to be a well known artist.

    IF you wanted to be opened your heart, mind and soul this is your man.
    If you want to stay in wonderland not knowing where your going to, be there and rot.

    5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Meets the Eye
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    As one can read from the reviews here, SING STREET is a thoroughly enjoyable, "feel-good" film. Anyone who remembers the MTV-fueled 80s "modern music" scene will find plenty of nostalgia here. The new music is interspersed with 80s standards, and holds up completely..."Drive It Like You Stole It" should be smash hit in any rational universe. On one level, it's a wonderful throwback to 80s films.

    But there's more to this movie than that...a fact that reveals itself more and more on repeated viewings. First of all, every character has a dark reality, that is only hinted at in the various scenes. Paying attention to the dialogue will reveal some subtle, startling insights.

    More importantly, this film blurs the line between fantasy and reality in the character's lives. It's obvious in the "Drive It" performance, but it's there throughout. How much is really happening, versus what the characters are imagining? I was actually reminded of Terry Gilliam's work in that respect.

    Without giving anything away, let me just ask: Did the ending (about which many have commented here) really happen the way we see it? There's a foreshadowing of the ending during the first few minutes of the film, that suggests that the outcome was altogether not what we think it is.

    If none of this make any sense (and it might not since I am determined not to give away any spoilers) the movie is completely delightful on its basic level. That's one of the great things about it, and i loved it. But there's more lurking under the surface that will justify repeated viewings...

    This is a pretty much biographical story of the now famous Director/Producer John Carney. He went on to do "Once" and "Begin Again." And more recently "Modern Love."
    He's had music in his life for ages.

    A real gem and a must see creation. Leave it to the Irish to keep supplying great talent. I am a 70 year old film lover who has been looking for these kinds of exceptional collaborations since the black and white film era when Clark Gable and Tyrone Powers lit up the camera. If you are 14, 40 or 89, no matter. This movie could easily translate into a musical for the stage.

    Film da vedere. Introvabile. Stesso regista di once. Consigliato per grandi e piccoli e adolescenti che inseguono i loro sogni. C’è un grande amore per la musica, in particolare. Citazioni di tutti i gruppi che hanno segnato gli anni 80, in un Irlanda complessa dello stesso periodo. Si affrontano tematiche anche relative alla famiglia, alla scuola ed all’adolescenza.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2018

    It's Dublin, mid 1980s. Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) is a 15 year old who lives with his mother (Maria Doyle-Kennedy) and father (Aidan Gillen), older brother Brendan (Jack Raynor), and sister. His parents are struggling financially, and they argue all the time. Brendan's a drop out and wishes he'd taken opportunities that he didn't take. Conor's been moved to a Catholic school for financial reasons and he's bullied by the school thugs: a student, and the head teacher, Brother Baxter (Don Wycherley). He has ambition, has Conor, and his thug-blackened eye focuses on the young girl, Raphina (Lucy Boynton), who he thinks looks like a model. To attract her attention, he changes his image and forms a band with his school mates. Sing Street (2016) is so refreshing that it just might make you want to get up and dance The soundtrack of Sing Street is a superb mixture of original and pop-hits from the past. I loved it, particularly Drive it Like You Stole It. It reminded me of younger days when music and fashion were everything. Well, nearly everything. Conor, who likes to be called Cosmo, is a rebel, and it's at this point that the movie becomes such fun. I didn't much care for the ending of Sing Street and I understand the writer director, John Carney, regrets the ending. I have to give a mention to other members of the cast. Oh-so-cool Eamon, the one wearing glasses, the one with incredible musical talent played by Mark McKenna and who reminded me of a young John Lennon. Ian Kenny as the school thug, Barry Bray, was hilariously obnoxious and so good in the role even right down to the head and shoulder mannerisms. He could have easily fitted into Danny Boyle's Trainspotting (1996). Don Wycherley, as one mother of a Brother, was excellent in an unnerving kind of way. Who in their right minds would want their kids to be in the hands of someone like that? Sadly, although Ben Carolan was great as the little red haired group manager, Darren Mulvey, I had difficulty understanding what he was saying due to the Dublin accent and the mouthful of metal. Bless. All in all it's a great movie with a super soundtrack, but there is some disturbing violence so not for the little ones. I note someone has reviewed and complained about the BluRay. I have the DVD and had no problem with it.

    Irland in den Achtzigern. Conor wächst in Dublin auf - seine Familie ist relativ arm und in der Schule ist er auch Außenseiter. Durch seinen Bruder und dessen umfangreicher Plattensammlung, entflieht er durch Musik aus der Tristesse. Dann lernt er eines Tages die hübsche Raphina kennen und bittet sie in dem neusten Video seiner Band mitzuspielen. Die freut sich über das Angebot und sagt zu. Das kleine Problem ist nur: Er hat gar keine Band. Doch die ist schnell gefunden, denn einige andere Jungs, die ebenfalls eher Außenseiter sind, beherrschen zum Glück einige Instrumente. So wird in wenigen Tagen die Band SING STREET geboren. Als sie ein Stück von DURAN DURAN covern meckert Conors Bruder das Kopien sinnlos sind und man eigenes erschaffen muss. Also beginnt Conor Songs zu schreiben und die sind erstaunlich gut.

    SING STREET ist ein fantastisches Kleinod. Natürlich richtet sich der Streifen eher an die Generation Ü 40, da jüngere viele Dinge und auch das Lebensgefühl der 80er nicht nachvollziehen können.

    Ferdia-Welsh Peelo, der noch nicht eine (!) einzige Filmminute auf seinem Konto hat, spielt Conor so klasse, dass ich mich komplett in ihn hineinversetzen konnte, da er soweit von meiner Person und meinem damaligen Charakter nicht entfernt war. Aber auch die anderen Jungs der Band sind so putzig, das man sie alle sofort totknuddeln könnte.

    Eine sensationelle Idee war es, das Conors Bruder sehr viele Stilrichtungen der 80er hört und somit die Band nach jedem neuen Input anders klingt. Zwischen Hall and Oates, Duran Duran, Jam und Cure ist alles dabei.

    Zu dem jeweils neuen Song wechselt Colon auch immer das Outfit. Sieht er heute noch aus wie Robert Smith von CURE, gleicht er eine Woche später Tony Hadley von Spandau Ballett. Und auch die Songs klingen dann nach der jeweiligen Band und das ohne billige Plagiate zu sein. Eine sensationelle Idee wie ich finde.

    Für die Songs selbst zeichnet Gary Clark verantwortlich, der Ende der 80er Jahr mit der Band Danny Wilson kleinere Erfolge feierte. Da ich beide Alben der Band besitze und sie grandios finde, trifft er natürlich auch genau meinen Nerv. Wobei die Songs so gut sind, das sie so ziemlich jedem 80er Jahre Fan gefallen werden.

    Da ich bekanntlich sehr geizig bin bei der Vergabe der Höchstnote, weil mir die in vielen Foren zu leichtfertig gezogen wird, habe ich lange darüber nachgedacht, was ich an diesem Film kritisieren könnte, aber selbst kleinere Dinge, die man beanstanden könnte, werden durch den tollen Gesamteindruck regelmäßig ausgeglichen.

    Auf dem Soundtrack, den ich mir besorgen werde, sind übrigens alle Songs der Band drauf, aufgefüllt mit Hits aus den 80ern, allerdings eher welchen aus England, von denen viele nicht wirklich nach Deutschland schwappten. Während JAMS „A TOWN CALLED MALICE“ in England ein Riesenhit war, lief die Nummer hier unter unbekannt.

    Vielleicht der beste Film des Jahres: Hier passt einfach alle zusammen von der allerersten Minute. Auch die Synchronisation ist erstaunlich gut ausgefallen. Für alle Menschen 40 + die Musik lieben ein absolutes Muss!!! (videotie.de)
