...Luckily, the video is a different story. Hype Williams, known for his work on the film “Belly,” (which runs like an exceedingly long music video), really captures Kanye’s overstated elegance. Pin-up girls and West’s violent gyrations careen around powerful background colors, beautiful women, and some genuinely nice shots of Jamie Foxx (see left for an example). It won’t stay with you forever, but it also won’t leave you feeling like you raised a child for 18 years but then found...
...power chords destined to make the band super-rich and have their considerable fan base screaming happily into one another's faces at concerts. Almost all the album's 13 songs have been composed with stadiums in mind, and Jonny Buckland has mastered the art of making his guitar careen between enormity and intimacy. It should come as no surprise that Coldplay put up a U2 poster in the studio in which they were making X&Y as a reminder of what they were shooting...
...executives. Soon producers were forking over mid?five figures for Buckley's Hallelujah cover. Cohen murmured the original like a dirge, but except for a single overwrought breath before the music kicks in, Buckley treated the 7-min. song like a tiny capsule of humanity, using his voice to careen between glory and sadness, beauty and pain, mostly just by repeating the word hallelujah. It's not only Buckley's best song - it's one of the great songs, and because it covers so much emotional ground and is not (yet) a painfully obvious choice, it has become...
...supposed allies among the Afghans and the palpable danger of an arms dealer’s shed after dark are all powerfully unsettling. The inability to determine the loyalties of men standing on barren hillsides with rifles is eerily evocative of the American predicament in Vietnam. Watching the crew careen through Kabul amid real machine gun fire at least equals, and perhaps eclipses, the thrill of elaborately staged action...
...Despite their differing paths, both sons suffer disappointments at the end of their lives, as circumstances careen out of their control. Convicted of conspiring to murder a policeman, Aaron, sick with tuberculosis, dies a broken rebel, his country still under British rule. As an old man, Daniel returns to Chevathar to establish Doraipuram, a settlement to unite the Dorai clan, only to see his dream dissolve in disharmony and contention. After his death, Daniel's estranged son Kannan quits his job at a tea plantation and returns to his roots, just as India, in 1947, becomes a free nation...
